Journey is a deeply personal album. Written in 2024 to 2025, it maps out my journey through a challenging year. Marriage, the support of family and friends, my battle with Oesophageal Cancer. It explores the themes of healing, hope, and the long road back from darkness. Each track is a step in the emotional landscape of recovery.
Tracklist
Verse 1 C G I’ve been waiting for the sky to clear Am F But the storm keeps hanging here C G Kept my life on pause too long Am F Hoping I’d wake up strong Pre-Chorus F C But the clock won’t stop Am G And the day won’t wait F C Every heartbeat says Am G It’s not too late Chorus C G So I’ll do it sad, I’ll do it scared Am F I’ll do it broken, unprepared C G I’ll walk through fire with shaking hands Am F Living now, where I stand C G Healing comes when I move through Am F The hurt, the doubt, the shades of blue Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1) Every step feels heavy still But standing still won’t make me heal So I’ll laugh through the weight I bear Even if no one knows it’s there Bridge Am G Maybe joy is on the way C F But I won’t wait another day Am G The cracks I carry let the light shine in C F Living starts before the mending begins Chorus (fuller, strum harder) C G I’ll do it sad, I’ll do it scared Am F I’ll do it broken, unprepared C G I’ll dance with fear in the shifting sand Am F Living now, where I stand C G Healing comes when I move through Am F The hurt, the doubt, the shades of blue Outro C G If the waiting lasts forever Am F Then forever starts today C G I’ll go live my life this way
Lyrics
Empty bed, quiet nights, Whispered prayers beneath the lights. Every touch we used to know, Felt like something far ago. Scars and fear, the longest year, But you stayed close, you stayed near. Every sunrise felt the same, But hope kept calling out your name. Now I’m holding you again, After all the tears and pain. Every heartbeat feels brand new, Every breath is filled with you. We made it through the storm, my friend, Now I’m holding you again. Hospitals and sleepless nights, Fading strength, flickering lights. You kissed my hand, you didn’t run, You loved me when I’d come undone. Now I see your eyes through mine, And everything will be fine. Love survived the test of time, Now your body’s back with mine. Now I’m holding you again, After all the tears and pain. Every heartbeat feels brand new, Every breath is filled with you. We made it through the storm, my friend, Now I’m holding you again. We cried in the dark, But the light found our hearts. Every scar is a story we own. Now the silence is gone, And the healing’s begun, Feels like we’re finally home. Now I’m holding you again, In the warmth where love remains. Every day a new sunrise, Every moment in your eyes. We made it through, we’ll never bend, Now I’m holding you again. The pain fades, but the love stays, We’re stronger than we’ve ever been. Now I’m holding you again.
