Song Description
'Shoebox' is my current single from TRUST. I wrote this song with Mac Powell of Third Day (he also produced TRUST) in Mac's home studio in Atlanta, GA.
Do Over
Ever wish that you had the chance to do things over again? Maybe if our past had just been different then things would be better now? Some of us might even have a shoebox "or two" filled with things lost, missed, stolen, destroyed, regretted, etc., and maybe those "empty dreams that never came true" have us looking backwards and missing all the "better days" ahead.
Change
Changing our lives usually starts with letting go of one thing and embracing another.
This song is a declaration of freedom for the human heart.
My hope is that you will find encouragement in your own personal journey of leaving the past behind and embracing the wonders which are in front of us now.

Lyrics
Shoebox
I?ve got a shoebox underneath my arm,
Yeah, its been draggin? me down way too long.
Filled with empty dreams that never came true
I bet we all have got a box or two.
I?m letting go
Of all the things that are pulling me down
Now that I know
There?s so much for me than what?s come before
I?ve done made up my mind
Not wasting no more time
I?m leaving it behind
I?m tired of thinking ?bout what might have been
How I could change my life and live it again
That?s just a lie trying to run me down
My better days are all in front of me now.
