You Were There For Me (But I Pushed You Away) 04:06
lyrics
buy track
You were there for me, but I pushed you away. But I think about you even to this day If I saw you now, I don't know what I'd say You were there for me, but I pushed you away Love it comes & Love it goes & The reasons why Mortal man can't know But, love you knew How I was down Things only got worse Without you around You were there for me, but I pushed you away. But I think about you even to this day If I saw you now, I don't know what I'd say You were there for me, but I pushed you away Things have changed & The winds have blown & Love I don't know Where the time has gone You were there for me, but I pushed you away. But I think about you even to this day If I saw you now, I don't know what I'd say You were there for me, but I pushed you away

I count my blessings; I count my blessings, babe Stacked high as heaven; no more will I complain It’s all overflowing since the day I’s saved I count my blessings; I count my blessings, babe I took the long way; I took the long way, friend Maybe I’ll meet you on down around the bend Since last time you saw me; I been born again I took the long way; I took the long way friend I’m going to heaven; oh darling, when I die I’m going to heaven in that sweet by and by I know my spirit will only fly and fly I’m going to heaven, oh darling, when I die I’m feeling joyful; I’m on the sunny side Deep in the spirit is now where I abide I woke up one morning and hallelujah cried I’m feeling joyful; I’m on the sunny side I feel alive; no more am I bereaved I feel a fire and no more am I deceived I feel so happy since when I believed I feel alive and no more am I bereaved I’m going to heaven; oh baby, when I die I’m going to heaven in that sweet by and by I know my spirit is gonna will only fly and fly I’m going to heaven, oh baby, when I die

Kingdom Come 05:48
lyrics

Momma put me in a basket and I drifted for days or more I wound up with strangers; washed up on foreign shores Mama put me in a basket and I drifted for days or more The man that raised me gave me a stable home He loved me deeply and he raised me like one of his own The man that raised me gave me a stable home The thing that made me was more than a lucky break But I feared I’d go under; I had everything at stake The thing that made me was more than a lucky break I’ve paid in blood for every little inch I’ve gained I’ve plowed through hardship and endured much pain I’ve paid in blood for every little inch I’ve gained I know what I want and I intend to take it, babe With force or with violence and with some ropes or chains I know what I want and I intend to take it, babe I scan the horizon and no one’s in our way We’re armed to the teeth and the kingdom’s ours to take I scan the horizon and there’s no one even in our way

The Sarissa's Song 03:28
lyrics
buy track
In matters war and state In your service, stand Until my dying day With a sword in hand A merchant I am not Nor with craftsman’s trade But I accept my lot For you, The King, my grace The sarissa’s song is sad, ol’ song He pipes it soft and low I’d ply my hand at a gentler trade But war is all I know In the mud I wade And in my comrade’s blood Or on the dusty plains Under the noon day’s sun The sarissa’s song is sad, ol’ song He pipes it soft and low I’d ply my hand at a gentler trade But war is all I know

Today's The Day 03:58
lyrics
buy track
This is our state, a beached whale This is our albatross This is a tragic tale This is our old, rugged cross There is much money at stake There are large profits to be made Don't be so innocent, babe This is a dangerous game Brother, oh brother Today is the day we take arms Brother, oh brother Today we hit back and hit hard Come with me charging for the hill There will be powder and steel We will see victory; we will There will be blood in the field Brother, oh brother Today is the day we take arms Brother, oh brother Today we hit back and hit hard

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Originally from Arkansas, and now in Lafayette, LA, I play the surrounding areas regularly. Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
