When did this all begin? It is vivid in my mind x2 You gave me two weeks and I tried to make the most of it you gave me two weeks and you gave me a shove in the right direction You have given me Two weeks notice You have given me Time You pulled the ground out from under me There was no one to turn to x2 You have given me a chance to do All that I have not You gave a warning sign You punched me in the gut You gave me a wakeup call You softened My heart Of stone

about

This album is about a man who can't give up. He holds on to things that are close to him, even when things get rough. The story begins when God asks him what he would do if he had two weeks left to live. While at first he brushes this off, he soon believes that it might be real. He decides to make some life changes. However, throughout time, he grows cold. His heart gets hardened, and he wonders why he should open up to new people. This comes with a price, when he loses someone close, and his hard heart fails to cry. He questions his choices, and wonders what is wrong. He questions God, and God only says to trust. He accepts and lets God soften his broken heart. Time passes, and God asks him what he would do if he lost someone else. He barters with God while accepting whatever comes. He is reminded to what God told him after he lost the first one. The man remembers what people told him as a child. People said he would make a great salesman. The man decides that no matter what happens, God knows best.
