about

My first studio recording of this song, which I wrote very recently before leaving Kamas, Utah to go on my first solo roadtrip as a traveling minstrel. I could feel the fear of stepping out into the unknown, without any apparent support, and writing this song helped a great deal.

Recorded May 10, 2018

lyrics

Everything is falling apart it seems
And I’m afraid… of what may come.
I cannot know which way, that I am meant to take
All I can do…. is... pray

I want you to lead me.
I want you to make it clear
I know that you’re with me.
But sometimes I cannot hear
When I’m scared, when I’m weak,
When I am trying to run free
Please help me… face my fear

I can’t see where you are leading me
But I can see your heart burning in Love for me.
So l’ll trust that you know
how I will make it back Home
I don’t have to try to go fast or slow.

I want you to lead me.
I want you to make it clear
I know that you’re with me.
But sometimes I cannot hear
When I’m scared, when I’m weak,
When I am trying to run free
Please help me… face my fear

I think I’m afraid you won’t love me
But truly I’m afraid that you will
Cause then I won’t have an excuse
for turning away when I hear you Call me
When you sing your Song
to remind me Who I Am... and Where I'm from.

Everything is falling apart it seems
But now I can see… that it was all for me
To bring me to Joy, to bring me to Peace,
To re...mind me that You are all I need

And I want you to lead me.
I want you to make it clear
I know that you’re with me.
But sometimes I cannot hear
When I’m scared, when I’m weak,
When I am trying to run free
When I think that I need
More than you’ve given me
Please help me… face my fear
