warm light

(album: Now & Forever - 2021)

Yeah
Lately wish I listened more and maybe grew up less
Past emotions on my heart that I can't express
Been tryna focus on the people truly in my life
The ones I know who'll stick around when there's nothing left
I learned there's more important things than some dollar signs
A simple lesson I got wrong more than a couple times
Seems it's natural when living that we make mistakes
Somehow if I could take 'em back, I got a few in mind
I'm sitting staring at the sky, cool summer breeze
The butterflies and the clouds bring me company
But not like how it was
Looking back on time with family, never spent enough
I hope you cherish love, 'cause homie, things change quick
And all the days that you think you have, you really don't
I used to understand this message back when I was broke
Before the views, when I was lonely, depressed, and confused
Writing all these lyrics was the only way that I could cope
Now, I start worry that I changed
How maybe I won't ever be the same
Finally feel the sunshine coming after rain
Years stuck inside the struggle built a tolerance for pain
Hope you follow what I'm saying, see
The flowers' blooming, the colors are vibrant
It's amazing what you'll hear when surrounded by silence
Important lessons I've slowly been finding out myself
Like broken souls are stronger than ones who never fell
Yeah, that's the power of the journey
Why being patient really don't concern me
Can't dream in a hurry
I just take a step back, put my trust in God's plans
Saying "Why worry?" but still I'm gon' worry

I said I'm still gon' worry
But still, I'm gon' worry
But still, I'm gon' worry
(Yeah, I put my trust in God's hands)

It go like
It's hard to practice what I preach
This worrying don't take away your troubles, it take peace
From your mind-the hardest thing there is to find
Feel like now in everything I do, I'm searching for a sign
Maybe that's the biggest sign
I needed time
To let go of my pride and all my expectations
On my grandma's rooftop having revelations
Wish that I could tell my younger self 'bout the power in patience
But the future needs you and your past doesn't
You'll never grow when focusing on the things that you wasn't
I believe what's truly yours will eventually find you
Though right ain't always right now, keep faith that it's coming
It's sudden, just like the process of us growing up
Over my years, that's a message I was told enough
Just didn't seem that probable when I was young in love
But now the memories I'm holding onto becoming too much, sucks
The leaves fall again, see life's a cycle like the seasons that we following
It's not a typo, it's the feelings that I'm swallowing
Maintaining my composure while my broken heart is hollowing
It's difficult to know yourself 'til things are upside down
When all the people that you love are no longer around
I tell the person in the mirror, "Do not be in a hurry"
It's early, but I'm still gon' worry

Yeah, I said I'm still gon' worry
(Yeah, I put my trust in God's hands)
But I'm still gon' worry
But I'm still gon' worry
