about

Co-written with Grammy nominee Carolyn Malachi, this is a raw soul song about believing in your “stars” as an artist and how to live your life.

lyrics

Deep as the ocean soft as the sky I set in motion
A dream that I,
Iʼve known could be mine
For some time
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine Iʼm human on a
Supernatural journey
On my own path
Guided by my star
Iʼve come so far
Thereʼs just one path for me Some call it destiny
My mind and heart agree What is for me is for me Yes, I get lonely
But I am enough for me My mind and heart agree What is for me is...
Whatever I want Whenever I choose Youʼll never see me cry Though, I do get the blues See, I believe in myself
I donʼt need you to
I know what I know
I know that I canʼt lose
I follow no one
I RISE like the sun
Iʼm enough
Iʼm the one
Iʼm the one
Iʼm the one
Iʼm all I need
Itʼs all in me
The world is mine indeed Yes, indeed
Yes indeed
Thereʼs just one path for me Some call it destiny
My mind and heart agree What is for me is for me Yes, I get lonely
But I am enough for me My mind and heart agree What is for me is...
Thereʼs just one path for me Some call it destiny
My mind and heart agree What is for me is for me Yes, I get lonely
But I am enough for me My mind and heart agree What is for me is...
