about

God gave me the vision for "Day 1" on Christmas Eve, and I pray it ministers to you the way that it has ministered to me. This message is straight from the thrown of God to His children. He literally gave me the title and told me to release it in a week, on "Day 1". The funny thing about this is that I released the promotional material for the song the day after Christmas announcing that the single would be available for download on New Years Day, and the song wasn't even created yet. #FAITH & #OBEDIENCE ... Sure, I thought it was crazy and I was very nervous because as an artist, its risky to advertise something and not deliver, but then it hit me, God never fails. He has given me the vision for a reason and if its His will, it WILL come together. Within a little over 48 hours, My team and I got together, did all the production, and then God gave me the lyrics as I was in the booth. It was truly one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. What an amazing way to start the year, at Day 1!

lyrics

VERSE 1
Now that time has gone by, we let the color fade to gray
Content within a desolate place with no light at the end of the tunnel
B SEC
And we all wanna soar far beyond the sky, but broken wings don’t fly
(No, no, no) and its just like spiritual suicide
We’re shattered to pieces cause we’re running blind
PRE-HOOK
Things used to be different cause we used to want more
Now something is missing, cause we got way too comfortable
HOOK
But someday it’ll be like day one
And some way, we gotta get to day one
Cause nothing else matters, there’s no happy ever after
Til we become who we were on day one, day one
VERSE 2
Some of the lights have burned out, so we let the darkness take our place
Now the vision’s discontinued cause we lose the faith
And now we’re the only ones in the way
VAMP
Day one, day one, day one, day one
We gotta go back there, make us over again
