SOMEBODY’S HERO | Joseph James Looking around at all the precious people, So many stories going untold. Broken hearts and broken dreams, hiding all the pain, Wondering if they’ll live again or slowly die in vain. CHORUS Lost in a state of hopelessness, Yet possessing the power to fly, To stand up again and overcome, To see beyond the fog, To share your dream and love again, You can be Somebody’s Hero. Looking around at everyone outside of you. It is your story they need to hear. Bind them up and help them see. They can make it through. Looking up and dreaming again they won’t be alone. You’re a superstar to someone close to you, Watching your story from near or far. Hoping you might make it through, sparks their hope again. Spreading wings in hopes to fly to join you up on high. © & ℗ 2021 Joseph James & VaryMedia All Rights Reserved.

ON A COLD DARK NIGHT 05:22

ON A COLD DARK NIGHT Lyrics On a cold dark night. I heard a desperate plea, Crying out for help. I am all alone! Sad and weary now! I think I’ve lost my way, tonight! I couldn’t see her there. The shadows were too dark. So I asked her to come out. I turned on my light, And pointed it her way, So beautiful and poised, she was. Then appeared this glow, So I turned off the light, The darkness fled away. I stood there amazed, As peace enveloped me. I questioned what I saw, right then. She looked at me and said Please don’t be afraid, I have come tonight, To help you make it through. Father sends His love. He knows what you’ve been through. He’s been by your side, each step. Then she continued on He wants you to know. He’s heard your every prayer. He sent me so you’d know. He has a plan for you. Trust Him every day. Listen when He speaks, to you. She turned and then looked up. It’s an awesome plan, He wants you to see, But you’ve lost your way. I’ve come to light your path. You are not alone. You can make it now, and win. On a cold dark night. I heard a desperate plea, Crying out for help. I am all alone! Sad and weary now! I think I’ve lost my way, tonight! © & ℗ 2021 Joseph James & VaryMedia All Rights Reserved.

I’M SORRY w/m Joseph James - © 06.07.21 Good morning my love, I’m sorry I caused you such pain. Now there’s nothing I can do to find my way back to you. You see it’s over now and there’s no coming back for me. I didn’t know it then, I couldn’t see beyond the pain. ((CHORUS)) I want to see you smile! I want to see you live! I want to see you dream! I want to see you love! Oh this pain that you feel is like the pain that I felt, But now I can see there is a way you can make it through, So know that I am near and I’m cheering you on! I can see you now. There are tears running down my face. No, there’s nothing you could do. It was my choice alone. If you can hear me now. Please go on with your life. You need to follow your dreams and know that I am near. I hope that you can see. I hope that you can forgive me. It wasn’t your fault, and you need to forgive yourself. Oh, I want to see your smile, to see you live and love again. Don’t let what’s happened to me, destroy your life as well. © & ℗ 2021 All Rights Reserved. Joseph James & VaryMedia

GONNA TURN IT AROUND | Joseph James (Chorus) Gonna have a party tonight! Gonna pull out all of the stops! Gonna shake off everything that’s been holding me down! Gonna jump up! Gonna jump down! Gonna turn it around! Going through the motions! Succumbing to their fears! Do this and don’t! Binding me in chains! It’s time to let go! It’s time to get off! I’m standing up now! Just let me go! Looking at the things, I still want to do! Going out tonight! Being with my friends! It’s time to get out! It’s time to shout out! I’m making my plans! Come on and join me now! It’s time to enjoy, just breathing again! Catching those moments, All the special times! It’s time to love now! It’s time have fun! It’s time rise up and start dreaming again. © & ℗ 2021 Joseph James & VaryMedia All Rights Reserved.

NEED TO BE FREE w/m Joseph James © 05.24.21 If you would love me so, Maybe my heart wouldn’t let you go. What I need, you can’t give, Maybe letting go will let us live. (Chorus) I need a love, I hope you can see, A love that will let me be me. I need to be free to be who I am, To run my race, to be all I can. I need to be free! But you won’t give me some space, To open my wings, let me run my race. You could come. This is no lie. Together we’ll fly across the sky. I need a love that is free, To let my heart soar inside me, A heart to join along the way, Helping each other to win the day. (Repeat Chorus Then End) I need to be free! I need to be free! I need to fly! © & ℗ 2021 Joseph James & VaryMedia All Rights Reserved.

SPINNING AROUND | Joseph James Waking up in the morning. Sunlight shining through. Blowing now sweet kisses, at you. Watching you as you sleep. Wondering what you’re dreaming. Your eyes slowly open, and you smile at me. CHORUS Spinning around! Dancing with me! Looking deep in my eyes, I see your love for me. You’re holding me together, in the hope that I might see, The vision in your heart, that will truly set us free. With me now as the sun sets. The stars are sparkling now. Even in this darkness, you glow. Loving you is so easy. Knowing that you are with me. Walking towards our dreams, touching heart to heart. © & ℗ 2020 Joseph James & VaryMedia All Rights Reserved.

I'M GONNA FLY 05:30

I’M GONNA FLY | Joseph James Walking down this trail just wandering along, I know that there’s an end, just like in this song, Yet the fog is so thick, can’t even see my feet, Cautiously moving on, hoping someone to meet. [CHORUS] I know I’m gonna fly, way beyond the sky. I was born for this day, to be placed on display. Greatness is inside, so I’ll let it divide, This cocoon that binds me up, it’s time to erupt. I’m gonna fly! Way up high! It’s my destiny! It’s my dream! Climbing on this cliff, no mistakes can I make, Trying now to see, the bottom, the lake, Yet my eyes they do fail, to pierce this darkened night, So forging now along, hoping to see a light. Sometimes it’s a glimmer, sometimes there’s a wall, Sometimes cuts and bruises, and still they seem small, To succumb to this pain and lose my wildest dream, So running now in faith, down by the rushing stream. © 2020 Joseph James & VaryMedia.

SUCH A TIME AS THIS 04:23

SUCH A TIME AS THIS w/m Joseph James © 06.21.21 I’ve run my race! I’ve set my course time and time again. Just to be out of time and left behind again. So hanging my head and walking away, saving for another day. [CHORUS] Out of time! Out of place! Don’t know if I can run this race, And yet I’ll look ahead to see If there is a place for me. I’ve got to believe! I’ve got to hope. My life is not a joke... You see... I am one born out of time, For such a time as this! ((END)) I am one born out of time, For such a time as this! I’ve hit my head! I’ve fallen down so many time before. My heart cut out of my chest, laying on the floor, So picking it up and healing again, hoping for a better day. I’ve picked them up all the pieces now, it’s time for them to fit. Into a great big masterpiece like a portrait on a wall, So others might see it’s worth it all to keep following their dream. © & ℗ 2021 Joseph James & VaryMedia All Rights Reserved.

HINDSIGHT 2020 by Joseph James (LYRICS) (CHORUS) Hindsight is twenty-twenty, but this is twenty-one. Didn’t know what they were doing, but now let’s have some fun. Let’s go around town and shake some trees. We’ll let it all hang out… Let’s join with our neighbors and take this garbage out. Now’s the time. We can see. Don’t insult our intelligence. Stand up tall. Time to come clean. Take off those blood-stained clothes. Pile them up, to the sky. Get ready for a bonfire tonight… They told us things, that weren’t true. They lied to me and you. Then covered it up, with more lies. Have our loved ones died in vain? So, now we’re here, hand in hand. We’ll stretch across this land… We’re standing up unified. We want our freedoms back. We want to dream and walk in love, for future generations. For all who gave everything, We’ll rise up now and stand… (END) Dirty Laundry! Dirty Laundry! Take This Garbage Out. © & ℗ 2021 Joseph James All rights reserved.

about

I wrote these songs and created this album to encourage folks to go for their dreams. Things happen, some years are difficult, but we can all make it through if we just help one another. Everyone has a God-Given dream, (Psalm 139), and the Lord connects us all to help each other get the victory, if we're willing.

America was founded by many HEROES and has been built by and protected from it's enemies by many more since. HEROES are everywhere whether they are seen as SUPERSTARS or not. Each of us has at least one hero we look up to, someone whose life encourages us to go for our own dreams and succeed. HEROES come in all packages from parents, siblings, friends, family, co-workers, entrepreneurs, leaders, soldiers, etc. Chances are good that you're SOMEBODY'S HERO, too. Look around you! Who is watching you create your own story, hoping that you will succeed so that it encourages them to go for their dreams too? Are we a SUPERSTAR to someone we might not even know? If not, perhaps we will be someday.

DARE TO DREAM!
Joseph James
