about

Once I decided to release "A Place To Belong" as an EP, I knew that I needed more songs for it. Whenever I need more songs, usually the first place I go is my studio vault. I tend to write and record more than what ends up on an album, so there are usually a few tracks left over for me to choose from if I need them for something else.

When I released "Frame of Mind" in 2011, there were actually 6 songs left over from the sessions. Some of them were incomplete songs that just didn't get finished for one reason or another, but there were also a couple of finished tracks, like this one.

I thought "Follow Me" was a really good song, but there just didn't seem to be a place on "Frame of Mind" where it worked. So... to the vault it went.

When I began working on the "A Place To Belong" project, I found that the lyrics on this song really related to the subject matter of the EP. It is, lyrically, very similar to "A Place To Belong", in that it is written from the perspective of someone recognizing a need and wanting to do something about it. What I like about this song is that it examines further the idea of choice. Our choices and our actions are what determine our future, which is something that the people from Hope Inspired Ministries (see "A Place To Belong" lyrics) understand and teach to their students.

lyrics

Your vision slowly clears
As you wake up from the haze
You can't remember how you got here
You don't know where you are
Or how you arrived
You feel confusion mixed with fear.

You need to get out of here
But you don't know the way
There's a change that needs to be made
It can't wait another day

Chorus: I will lead you from this place
If you'll just follow me
You can't keep up this pace
Unless you follow me

You stumble out into
Another grey-sky morning
You've lost all track of time
You need to find your way
To the surface of reality
But you know you can't survive the climb.

You need to change the way you are
But you don't know how
Only I can bring you back
The time is now.

Chorus: I will lead you from this place
If you'll just follow me
You can't keep up this pace
Unless you follow me

I will give you what you need
If you'll just follow me
There's no way you can proceed
Unless you follow me
Bridge: You can't believe you're awake
You didn't know what was at stake
You need me now
More than you know.

Chorus
