All I Can Do 06:18
i've climbed many mountains ran my share of hills walked thousands of miles driven many more still but in all of my travels i've seen nothing but pain no rest for my body no peace for my brain (chorus) All I can do Is eat and drink, be merry with you All I can see Is chasing the wind with a closed hand who can tell me how to live? who could show me the road? who will take me by the hand? if my father goes? the road itself is my teacher as it grinds me to the ground chews me up and spits me out leaves me broken and unwound (chorus) i try to find beauty in everything I do but it's hard when darkness is surrounding you open up the curtains of your heart, dark and cold let the light flood into you let it break the stronghold who am i, that You love me? that You'd want to take my hand? what do You know of me? that I cannot comprehend i have been so empty for such a very long time longing just to be filled with Your beautiful sunshine (chorus)

The world's on fire but mine is fine I'm sitting in my tower, sipping my wine The world's ablaze, does that concern me? I'll close my eyes, and think positively Oh positively! I'm feeling just fine looking out for me There's not a lot to do at the top of the tree I did my time, I cut my teeth You just work hard and you'll end up rich like me Oh be like me! Life's so simple when all you see is your backyard. Your four corners and your fence boards You can run to the front or stay at the back of the pack And go with your brothers along the track I believe this positively Take a step, walk out the door Let the tower fall, tear down the wall Walk a mile in another's shoes Carrying on the same things that they do It don't take much to be a friend Showing kindness without pretense We are all part of the human race Flesh and blood, all in need of grace I'm just trying to do good like the good book said I should Loving and helping my neighbors as best as I could Do unto others as you would have them do to you I promise you won't regret the smallest thing you do I believe this Positively *dance break* * more positivity *

about

"The world is on fire" is an EP of two demos from my latest full length album. Leaving the world of Ambient Drone music, we are venturing into the genres of Folk and Singer-Songwriters.
"All I Can Do" is an dialogue with myself, reflecting on the past few years of growing into faith, growing into an adult, and recently becoming a husband.
"The World is on Fire" is my commentary on the state of the world around me. Written before the pandemic we are currently in, I have found it to be more true of a message now then when I wrote it.
