about

I know my purpose in this world is to write songs and play music. I feel it deep deep down in my bones. There is something there I cannot see, something that is not tangible. I wrote this song for the parents of the recent tragedy. I sat myself down with heavy emotion and said "I'm not getting up until this sounds like a finished product." I hope you listen to it, and when you do, don't forget that we are ALL HUMANS ON THIS EARTH TOGETHER. WE ALL ARE BORN LIVE AND DIE!!!! So love your friends, love your neighbor, but most importantly love your enemy.

lyrics

Well the last thing I remember, her hair was as bright as the sun.
She was finishing her orange juice, next to the younger ones.
Time was flying by so fast so I got down on my knees.
I told them that I loved them, they said it back in portuguese.

O my love, O my love
my little baby girl
you'll never know how your baby face
lit up my world

O little one, O little one
Please hold on tight
I know there is something waiting for you
on the other side.

Well I only have one question, and I'll ask it till the day I die.
Why did hate and anger take my daughter's life?
We're the smartest thing on the planet
but these feelings still are here.
So I'll start with myself and walk through life with only love
Not only for my family, but my enemys too.
God make it true
