Story Behind The Song

This was song that I wrote while sitting in a traffic jam on my way back from a performance. As I reflected upon my musical journey and life experiences, I wanted to encourage others to use their trials and tribulations as a vehicle for triumph and to never throw in the towel on themselves or their hopes and dreams.

Song Description

A song of determination and perseverance while working toward fulfilling one's dream. "Love yourself enough to see yourself through."

Lyrics

It's been a long time coming
But I had to start somewhere
To fulfill my purpose
Cause there's so much I wanna share
With the whole world
Yes, I gotta share my vision
And I'll never give up
Until my job is finished
So I'll keep striving, persevering
While overcoming all my doubts and fears and
Though I grow tired and weary
I'll keep reaching higher and keep my fire burning
And stay fly, i,uh, i,uh, i,i,i,
Yeah that's right

Runnin
And like a drummer man I keep on drummin
And like a hummingbird I keep on hummin
Hey
On my grind
Doing my time
Trying to shine

Repeat Chorus

Yes, it's a rocky ride
But I'm still driving through the Boulevard of Broken Promises
And through the streets of Sleepless Nights
And through the Battles in my mind
Appreciating my journey one day at a time
And like an eagle
I'm gonna spread my wings and fly so high, so high
Poking out my chest and stand tall
Even when there's no one to call
Living life, giving this my all

Repeat Chorus 2 x's

Outro

Runnin
And like a drummer man I keep on drummin
And like a hummin bird I keep on hummin
