about

My world is full of giants constantly reminding me of my failures and I need to be reminded that life often requires a leap of faith. I wrote this song as a way of overcoming my fear of failing. The song was originally going to be titled A Leap of Faith but in working (Co-writing) with David, we made major changes that really brought the lyrics to life, ones that provided tangible images and emotion into the song.

lyrics

verse 1
It's the middle of the night
I'm searching for some light
So here I am down on my knees
Should I stay, Should I go
So much I don't know
Lord I wonder what You want from me
Please Lord Give me a sign

Chorus
Those Giants are calling me
Saying I'm a failure
Lord I need you, I need a Savior
So like a sling shot through the air
I'm throwing out this prayer
Taking a leap of Faith it hits its mark
Oh Lord this is my shot in the dark

Verse 2
I listen for your voice
Help me make the choice
To trust you with things I can not see
Hearing Goliath Call
Can make a grown man feel so small
And the future so dark in front of me
Please Lord give me a sign

Chorus
Those Giants are calling me
Saying I'm a failure
Lord I need you, I need a Savior
So like a sling shot through the air
I'm throwing out this prayer
Taking a leap of Faith it hits its mark
Oh Lord this is my shot in the dark

Bridge
Then the mountains started to move
And the skies turned the clearest blue
I felt like I could walk on the sea
Now all I want to do, is place my trust in you
And to hear you say to keep your eyes on me

Final Chorus
When the Giants call my name
Saying I'm a failure
I know I need you, I need a savior
So like a sling shot through the air
Go and throw out this prayer
Taking a leap of Faith it hits its mark
Close Your Eyes and Take a shot in the dark
Take a shot in the dark.
