about

"Simply Being"
Is a celebration of intimacy.

The warm piano & bass arrangement of this stripped down Batsauce beat sets the tone for two lovers to courageously let down their guards and truly meet.

Spoken words and singing voice of this alternative HipHop track create a call and response, a dance, like a two step of soul.

lyrics

SIMPLY BEING

Hope is never lost my friend
Like cherry on pain
I am waiting to be tamed
Under this rock of fear
Seems to be a wall of steel
Waiting to be near
I see you
Are you afraid to fall in love
With me
When I see you
Why are scared to show
What I anyhow see

I am here
Being
I am here with nothing to hide
Reaching out to give
Because I see your light
I am here
Being
I am here with nothing to hide
Simply being


I've seen you turn into a better person - and despite
What you think of yourself, all the trials will be worth it
Perhaps you can't see it from here
Because you feel you've given away your previous years

Your heart is guarded, but never is it hardened
Your wounds haven't healed but I'll be here regardless
You say we're different, but the way I feel about you isn't
You wonder what I see in you and why I'm so persistent

Cause you deserve to be loved, not despite
Your insecurities, but really because
You're a beautiful person with a heart full of empathy
And every single cell in my body wants you next to me

I want to help you recharge and give you courage
When the going gets hard, and still let you seek
Your own path through the madness - I just want to
See you laugh from your heart and cry tears of happiness
I am here
Being
I am here with nothing to hide
Reaching out to give
Because I see your light
I am here
Being
I am here with nothing to hide
Simply being
