Story Behind The Song
MY SONG "MAKE BELIEVE" was written over the course of a couple days. I was traveling to perform a show in Las Vegas and the idea of what would happen if we all could "MAKE BELIEVE" the world was a perfect place and that all our problems would disappear...if only for just a moment.
Song Description
MAKE BELIEVE IS ABOUT LIFES DECISIONS AND THE HOPE OF MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES AGAINST ALL ODDS...
ITS ABOUT THE PEOPLE WE SURROUND OURSELVES WITH AND HOW THEY IMPACT OUR LIVES.
ALSO, ITS ABOUT COMING TO THE REALIZATION THAT THE WORLD IS NOT A PERFECT PLACE, BUT
LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT

Lyrics
MAKE BELIEVE LYRICS:
ITS 2 AM. YOU'RE FEELING COLD CAUSE' SOMEONE'S LEFT YOU DRY
BUT THERE YOU STAND IN THE POURING RAIN AND YOU WONDER WHY
IS ANYONE LISTENING? DO YOUR THOUGHTS CAST A SHADOW?
THERE'S EMPTINESS CLOSING IN EVERYWHERE YOU TURN.
PRE CHORUS:
THE WIND HAS CHANGED DIRECTION ITS TIME TO CHOOSE WHICH WAY TO GO
AND ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THERE'S A REASON
CHORUS:
OHHH..LET'S MAKE BELIEVE
THAT WHAT YOU HEAR AND WHAT YOU SEE IS ALWAYS WHAT IT MEANS
BUT, THE WORLD JUST CANT AGREE
MAKE BELIEVE
VERSE2:
WHEN YOU LIE AWAKE IN THE BED YOU'VE MADE DOES IT FEEL THE SAME?
ARE ALL THE YEARS THAT COME AND GO
BLACK TEARS OF SORROW?
IS ANYONE LISTENING?
DO MY THOUGHTS CAST A SHADOW?
THERE'S EMPTY HEADS CLOSING IN EVERYWHERE YOU TURN
PRE CHORUS:
THE WIND HAS CHANGED DIRECTION
TIME TO CHOOSE WHICH WAY TO GO
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER THERE'S A REASON
CHORUS:
LEAD:
