About This Song


"I hid behind the walls of shame, scared to let someone know my name", pretty much sums up why I wrote this song...Fear. After losing those close to me, my profession in healthcare, and my son's journey with cancer, I realized I only have "One Life".

Feedback Requested


I have redone this song so many times, it has become my nemesis! Cannot figure out if its good, or crap, lol

Sounds like a music library sync song for tv to me.

That either means it sounds generic and predictable, or it could fit a movie or commercial licensing opportunities..lol

No;  It means there’s a perfect place for it. Sync uses snippets of often emotional pieces to compliment and communicate a scene better.

Mmmm, living in silent shadows, with grazing thoughts of chasing,

oh, In the dark there lies a spark, is there strength for one more length? oh, run, run, run



Mmmm, Running empty towards the burn, nothin stoppin me any way the turn. Fires blaze in my soul, now it's time, let in flow, watch sparks light up the night, mmmm, live life mmmmm, One life



I hid behind the walls of shame, scared to let someone know my name, echoes of haters in the past, drivin those thoughts deep into the last



Mmmm, Running empty towards the burn, nothin stoppin me any way the turn. Fires blaze in my soul, now it's time, let in flow, watch sparks light up the night, mmmm, live life, mmmmm , One life



Rain falls on fire, claiming flames for its own desires, let it fall with no fear, shield of faith stops the hate, trap the friction, strike the match, watch it ignite



Mmmm, Running empty towards the burn, nothin stoppin me any way the turn. Fires blaze in my soul, now it's time, let in flow, watch sparks light up the night, mmmm, live life, mmmmm, One life



Drop the shame without blame, rise with flames of your own craving, break down walls, smooth the paving, yield to enslaving



I Run, run, run to the blaze, don't stop until I see no haze, moved into night, til the light, til the light, mmmm, mmmm, I let it burn, filled with flame, let it burn, mmmm, mmmm, I play with fire. Mmmm, I play with fire
