More New Lyrics: "This Moment"

Yep... finished the lead vocal on yet another new song. This one's called "This Moment", and like many of my songs, it has a couple of different meanings. What it means to you depends on how you approach the song.

As I've done with lots of my other songs ("I Belong To You" and "Alive" being 2 of the best examples), these lyrics were written for my wife. The message is simple: We need to make the most of what time we have together RIGHT NOW. "The past" is, well... in the past. We can't do anything about it. "The future" is ahead of us, so there's no reason to worry about it now, either. "The present" is the time that we have together right now, and if we make the best of it we can make our past relevant and our future promising!

This Moment


I know that I don't spend enough time

doing what I need to do for you.

And I know I waste time on silly things

instead of spending it with you.


But right now, in this moment

you are here with me.

I want to make sure this moment lasts.

So while I have this moment

I'm gonna tell you that I love you.

I want to make the most

of what we have right now.


I know there's nothing we can do

to change what we've done in the past.

And I know where we end up in the future

all depends on what we're doing today.


But right now, in this moment

you are here with me.

And I'm praying that this moment lasts.

So while I have this moment

I'm gonna tell you that I love you.

I want to make the most

of what we have right now.


We may not have this chance again.

This time may be all we have.

So while we're here together,

Let's make it worth our time.


But right now, in this moment

you are here with me.

And I'm praying that this moment lasts.

So while I have this moment

I'm gonna tell you that I love you.

I want to make the most

of what we have right now.




Are you making the best of what you have right now?


God Bless!

New Lyrics: "Cross the Line"

Hey, Ya'll!

I'm sorry it's been so long since the last time I posted anything. As many of you who follow me elsewhere on the Net already know, I've been working diligently on finishing up a new studio album. I just finished off the lead vocal on a new song just the other day, so I decided to post up the lyrics here to see what you might think.

Have you ever made a mistake? Sure... we all have. Sometimes, when I make mistakes, I get a little stubborn when it comes to fixing them. It's tough for me to admit that I've been wrong, especially when that wrong hurts someone else. Sometimes I just wish there was a "reset" button that I could hit and start it all over. That's kind of what this song is about.

This was written from the perspective of a relationship that's gone wrong. It might be a relationship between two people, or it might be between a person and God. That's really up to the listener (or, in this case, the reader). In either case, one has to be willing to admit their fault, take responsibility and do what needs to be done to make things right.

Cross the Line


Do you remember when we first met?

Remember it felt just right?

Then I was the one who walked away.

You needed me, but I was nowhere in sight.


But now I'm back, ready to make things new

All I have, I want to give to you.


I want to be the one

to cross the line

I'm gonna step out on faith

and do what it takes

to make you mine.

I am willing to be the one

to cross the line (to embrace you).

I don't care what people say

I want to give my love to you.


Do you remember what you said?

You said next time I come around, you'd be there.

I stayed away too long, but now I'm here

I'm ready to take a chance to go with you anywhere.


You promised me that we can make things new

I'm gonna take your love and give it back to you.


I want to be the one

to cross the line

I'm gonna step out on faith

and do what it takes

to make you mine.

I am willing to be the one

to cross the line (to embrace you).

I don't care what people say

I want to give my love to you.


I want to go back

to what we had before.

Take me back to where we were.


I want to be the one

to cross the line

I'm gonna step out on faith

and do what it takes

to make you mine.

I am willing to be the one

to cross the line (to embrace you).

I don't care what people say

I want to give my love to you.




Hopefully, you like it. Even if you don't like the words, the music is pretty cool! I can't wait for you to hear it!

Later,
--Eric G.
