Remember 03:05
lyrics

If I know my worth I'll go out and get what I deserve I need to stop pointing the finger when I'm not where I want to be Everyday I see a reason why I should stay down But that ain't me thats not what I remember Somewhere along the line I lost who I am I'm not this coward I need to remember who I am I can't believe I let the fear get the best of me I'm better than what it tells me Oh the lies I tell myself their right I'm nothing at all walk with my heart strong Live with all forgiven Make the best of moments that will never happen again This is what I remember of who I am I'll get me back I swear I still know how to fight When I've lost who I am when I've lost why I live When the only words I speak are God oh god save me I've forgotten who I am I can't remember what brings me joy But God you keep my heart beating to say You are more than what you've become I'm a fighter I am destined I remember who I am I am honest I am loving I remember who I am I remember I remember I remember I'm worth this life I remember I remember I remember who I am

Stay The Course 04:11
lyrics

As I set out on who I am To the X on the map that I want to be To the light house of my destiny I struggle with fear And I stumbled with hate I struggle with loss of heart Sometimes I feel so lost Like ill never make it home This won't stop me this won't keep me from my goal ill keep on singing Singing all day long Today I choose to take one intentional step towards my vision even though it hurts even though it's hard ill stay, ill stay the course Keep going don't turn back now Your not that far away Get up My heart to yours don't give up don't give in You'll change the world just hold fast Through heart and ambition You'll find purpose in your sacrifice If you don't know your direction it will find you Don't let fear and hesitation take this from you Your not given truth you have to find it The lie you'll never make it is just at your feet The mountains you can't climb The sea you can't cross alone We're here to help each other make our hearts desires not just words but a happening Through Jesus Christ we are heard Through jesus Christ we have the strength to go on A promise is a promise that's truth unbroken His words like honey to well traveled heart It may seem like two steps forward and bullet wound back You weren't made for this destiny Through Christ This destiny was made for you Fear, rejection, heartache and disappointment. These are not the outcomes of your destiny. They are but a mer footnote to you triumphant success. Everything has do with everything. Don't give up, stay the course because you will get through this. I swear to you, you will get through this. Stay the course You'll make it through Your not made for this destiny This destiny was made for you Stay the course I swear you'll make it through Your not made for this destiny This destiny was made for you This destiny was made for you Made For you This destiny was made for you Made For you I will make it through this throught swear You will make it through this I swear

Define 01:51
lyrics
buy track
Man kinds biggest hinderance is fear of the unknown. It stops us from truly obtaining our hearts desires. Stops us from ultimately grasping what we were ment to become.fear of the unknown more times than not comes from being damaged from taking a step of faith in the past and it blowing up in our faces.When we are down it's how we get up that defines us. Will we let fear keep us in the dirt?Will we let distrust alter our true destiny for the rest of our lives?Will we transform into the monster we said we would never become? Or....or will we get back on our feet and say I will not give up so easy. I will not allow fear to destroy what my heart longs for. I will fight for what i love. For what I truly deserve in this short life. Because I tell you the only thing that is more terrifying to a persons heart and soul than fear.....is regret. It's a haunting voice that always reminds us we were beaten by fear.Kings,Presidents,Authors,philosophers,husbands and wives are a small portion of people who pushed fear aside and obtained their true passions. These people were pushed down and chose to stand back up and become what so little people become in this world....happy.

Chasing Wonder 02:54
lyrics

Its 1997 and I'm 12 yrs old With the sun fading at my back And stars at my toes and I push push through places that I've seen a thousand times With danger on each side But running never on my mind Every haunting is just an empty home Every street we pass a new country a new place for us to roam If only is not yet words i say in my life Its right here it's right now its we are so alive My youth won't just be remembered I'll live it day by day I'm sick and tired being afraid of the unkownn Instead of running I wanna be chasing the things I wonder Without those summer nights when I was 12 I wouldn't know how to dream truly be myself This means for us for me for you That the magic of life still exists And the hope of goodness is not a wish but a certainty The possibility of your life being your life Is a given not a fading desire Every time I try and shake it Everyday it's something else I can't help but feel like giving in putting it all on someone else This can't be how my life is I can't just live to reminisce There's something more I'm missing here Something more than this

The City 04:38
lyrics

Out of the way our broadcast to isolation Were sick of being told Were are the generation to let it fall Everything Is not for nothing not unnoticed and Everyone Is a sacred moment Everywhere Is a place where we can be alive We are alive In this city filled with believers,fighters,healers and lovers famously rich and the poorly undiscovered Feel the frost in your lungs feel the spark in the air feel your heart tremble with anticipation Behold as we raise our fists for we are the city lights that sing a song that will bring the satellites down We are prosperity -chunk it out We are selflessness We are the reason The reason this city has breath This is not another brave distraction This world hasn't seen a thing Just wait till we stand together Together as a city World hear us Hear this city This is my home We are the street signs that tell you how fast and slow (we are the Giants)high scream- with Windows row after row My city sing this with me These city streets light up in moments We need everyone to make the whole thing work We are massive city and every road is home even our darkest sign says We are alive We will not give up on them whose city lights are low We believe they can thrive we are alive This is how we beat the reaper this is how we beat the reaper we spark on every light in this city People people are what give us life give us adventure and meaning. So take part in something grand be inspired to live well for others because we are the city

I Am The Brave 03:21
lyrics

29 yrs I'm finally feeling stronger No more list to tell me how many times I fall self destruction becomes outward assurance That burning bridges is no longer my style As soon as I admit I knew nothing About just how far I've come From the coward I once was The liar became the truth The thief is now the giver The unfaithfuls now the steadfast I'm not a rare exception I learned to be me from all of you The teachers in this world I don't have this figured out I've got learning yet to do I'm still afraid for what's ahead But I'm willing to see this through I use to think I was the image Under a pile of broken glass I know now I am the fist That shattered my self inflicted past I'm still trying to be the man My father is and was Through it all my mother says I always knew that you could be so brave My friends and brothers Never gave up on me each time I fall they say I always knew that you could be so brave I always knew that you could be so humble Your not to man that you use to be So Get up get on your feet Unless I say I'll never ever mean it Unless I scream it it will never be heard Because of you I'm the person I never thought I could be in this life time You never gave up on me Because of you I am the brave This is to those who seen the gold inside me This is to those who pulled even when I pushed The ones who held my head above fire This is to those who saved a father From becoming so much less than he could be This is to those who saved a husband From becoming just another tragedy

All Of Us 03:38
lyrics

This time it's different Were all seeing eye to eye Our hearts cry out for the same thing More of you lord Less of this religion All of us were finally singing the same song All of us We finally step into unified resistance Against hatred among us Against misunderstandings and falsehoods We come before you lord in love And we become the loving heart that you lord made us to be A burning signal fire that tells the lost and broken who to come to All of us will be a beacon of hope that will bring the troubled a smile All of us will carry your acceptance lord we will walk in love just like you Make it a truth for me that I'm not any farther from your heart than the blood inside. Because I pour like it. A hot flood drowning in the breath you made me from. I could've swore I was a sandcastle in your bones. Fast wash me out, I'll punch the skin till I'm all out of fists and my arms Cradle the eyes I used to look at you with. Lovely, make me love. I want to know that the year I spent holding my breath was worth it When you give it all back for Unsafe keeping. I could've swore I was a sandcastle in your bones. I am grains of love soaked by the sea that saves me ALL OF US ARE SAND BY THE SEA AND ALL OF US ARE DROWNING CONTINUOUSLY. DON'T LOSE ME. We are no longer the victim We are the victoryX2 All of us are so different Love is what we share All of us are not finished The world hasn't seen us yet This time it's very different This time its all changed Were not separate pieces But one and the same We make life so much harder Then it's ment to be There is no us against them Its us against us That's why we have to fight to succeed There's only one way out if this circle it it starts and ends with all of us

about

This album is a miracle. Over three years in the making with dozens of people involved. Its odd to be actually releasing it. Its by far the most personal thing we have written when it comes to words and music. Each song has a meaning and a theme. The biggest thing we want the listeners to know is we went and are going through each one of these things. We don't have this all figured out. We know what we want to conquer and achieve but that doesn't mean we know the answer to get there. There is no easy fix. God has been a saving grace over and over again in this. Our goal for this release is to get people involved. We want to start a movement in love, acceptance, empowerment and joy. We are not claiming to be music that hasn't been done a thousand times. Screaming over heavy guitars. We just want the heart behind it to be different then what we have seen.
