Hovering, Hoping...

In the late 90's, during the long commute to my job writing video game music, I would struggle with where my life was headed, and how stuck I felt. I felt like this job was NOT me, I could almost taste the possibility of something more rewarding, but I couldn't seem to move, I was locked, flighless.

The commute itself was ugly, but at one point the freeway passed by a mountain, a glimpse of beauty, of something that lifted my spirits. This song came to me over many days while driving past that mountain towards my everday life...

I was pleased beyond measure when my friend and fellow singer Curran Reichert sang this song to a crowd of 100,000 at the Millenium March in Washington, D.C. in 2,000.

Oh, My Wings

I've been bound to the ground
For so, so long
Oh my wings
Oh my wings

I long for my freedom
I damn these roots of safety
Oh my wings
Oh my wings

I crawl to the mountain
Pray and pray and pray
And my heart nearly flies
But my feet are blackened anchors
They will not leave the ground
And my soul is torn in two
Oh my wings
Oh my wings

I have tasted faith
I'm tired of my impatience
Oh my wings
Oh my wings
Oh my wings
Oh my wings
