Free Me 03:29
Where am I I don’t know any of these people They’re all staring at me I’m so confused What am I doing here Walking through the library It’s dark outside I feel so afraid My life has no direction What am I doing here I’ll just throw everything away Go back to square one Maybe I’ll find some answers there I don’t know What am I doing here Sitting on the bench It’s so dark outside Everyone’s looking at me I just know it Where do I go from here Maybe there’s a way To free myself From this self-constructed prison What do I have to lose Anything’s better than here

The Action 07:19

I took a Baby step In the right direction I took a Baby step Towards a greater good I took a Baby step To a better future I walked in that office You smiled at me Looked like you were Happy to see me I was wearing that shirt That I feel awkward in But I didn’t feel Awkward then I felt a slow sense Of encouragement Coursing through my veins Filling me with confidence I saw you At the crosswalk And I told you That things were looking up And it was all uphill from there

We only have Moments to live We only have One moment There is no past There is no future There is only one Reality Forgive yourself, And move on Nothing can change the past Every moment Is a gift Filled with opportunity You can start over With every millisecond Every moment offers A second chance A chance to be better Dream bigger Love freer Smile wider Sing louder And Dream bigger Love freer Smile wider Sing louder

Wasting Away 03:29
I know that I need to take things slower i have forgot to enjoy the moment i sleep in too late and miss the morning how i need to change my wasting ways

Nothing’s changed Nothing’s changed Nothing’s changed Except your state of mind Everything’s the same Nobody’s turned on you Your mind can’t control the world Unless you give it that power Your biochemistry Has merely shifted Nothing else has changed Nothing else has changed Free yourself from your mind You are not your thoughts Control your brain Don’t let it control you Everything’s okay Nothing has changed Nothing has changed Except your state of mind

Sometimes I feel Echoes of unconditional love Stirring within me I know that we’re Only human And incapable of perfect love But I want More than anything else To cultivate those echoes Turn the echoes into whispers The whispers into shouts And shout aloud to the world I remember All the times Where I placed limitations On my love And I get angry with myself But guess what Every single moment Offers a new chance A new outlet for those echoes To spread through your heart And bring you Closer to divine love Regret Doesn’t solve anything Regret begets regret But forgiveness breeds love

You Are Able 04:02
I dont need to think back to see that I am blessed I just need to look around a fixed vision leaves me sore and leaves me unaware to what is around so i need to fix it but i know im incapable. i lean not on myself but the one who is able so i give up my past my wounds and my best i give up my future its in your control i give up my now i give up my all

Good Driver 03:31
GOOD DRIVER KNOWS WHAT IS BEHIND HIM LOOKING OUT FOR WHAT IS BESIDE HIM ANTICIPATING WHAT IS AHEAD BUT AWARE THAT IT MAY CHANGE HE CHECKS TO SEE IF HE IS SAFE AND MAKES OTHERS FEEL THE SAME HE DOESNT FORCE A CORRECTION HE WAITS FOR THE NEXT CHANCE

Betterment 08:03
There is always Room for improvement We can always hope for more A better self, a brighter outlook Life is not a hopeless war I realized That I do not have to be Stuck in a cycle Of negativity That I can break free Of the limitations That hold me back And cause me frustration When I was driving home From the gym I felt God’s presence I truly felt him I realized what’s worth fighting for The greatest good we can attain A life without shackles and prison bars A life not defined by pain God is peace God is peace God is peace God is peace A life lived intentionally from moment to moment A life where love Is easy to foment God is here God is here God is here God is here A life of acceptance And freedom from fear A life where we want to be Nowhere else than right here God is love God is love God is love God is love

about

This album is about finding the positivity in life, and living in the moment.

An album about living in the moment and being grateful. Inspired by a spiritual journey I've been on for the last several months. This journey helped save me from an existential crisis that threatened my mental health. We all only have one moment.
-Evan Swope

Making this album was a good thing for me, as in 2016 I made mostly darker music, it was good to take a lighter mood this time. It has some songs that are deeply personal, and others that are just thought processes. It felt good to take a lighter tone and remind myself of some of the goodness there is, as often I get too caught up in life to notice it.
