jack walker-pearson There is not a truer voice out there - I am a huge fan of Ross! If you haven't heard his last album it is a must for any collection. This Album to me really really captures the love a father feels for his family - such a great line up of tracks. Favorite track: You Are Not Alone In This.

Won't Quit 05:14
lyrics

Breathe Last time I checked you and I could still breathe Albeit, just a little bit Last night I thought when you and I were just still The quiet took us out onto the sea I can see the waves are taking us To where we don't know how to be Crash and burn, could we burn again Cause there's fire here You know we're still breathing in Baby, just breathe out Try a little bit, sigh a little bit Know that I won't quit you now Never could I let go, this is what I breathe about Take me by the hand and we start again Know that I won't quit you now How did we get here? Awfully good as it is, some days I don't wanna wake Some days I just wanna break Are you doing okay? Have we spoken today? One day runs into another Real life ain't only ever sunny weather Real strife reminds me that we need each other And we stick together, Cause being a lover's about still holding on when the night is over What's a promise if it never get tested? What's a victory if we never get bested? Here we go, all love, no respite Gotta keep believing we ain't even seen the best yet You know we're still breathing in Baby, just breathe out Try a little bit, sigh a little bit Know that I won't quit you now Never could I let go, this is what I breathe about Take me by the hand and we start again Know that I won't quit you now I'm holding on It's more an just a dream, I'll live it Holding on Wherever we go, love be with us And the light is near, cause the fire’s here And when you look my way I know I got a good thing I know you're there, I can exhale Cause you won't quit me You know we're still breathing in Baby, just breathe out Try a little bit, sigh a little bit Know that I won't quit you now Never could I let go, this is what I breathe about Take me by the hand and we start again Know that I won't quit you now Don't you ever let go You know I'm gonna hold you down You are my prize and you got my eyes Know I won't quit you No, I won't you No, I won't quit you

Love Forever Cinema 04:31
lyrics

In a galaxy far, far away I saw you coming down into frame You turned my head and I started rolling You light the scene In a thrilling pursuit you Set your phaser from stun to kill And it was over for my CG heart Baby, 3D glasses and the saga started In a time before time we Battled creatures that were under foot We made a fortress where the cool kids go For midnight movies and really good Thai food Then we ventured into lands unknown Set up a base and we bred some clones Uncharted space and we made a home And it feels like, it feels like Music crescendos and the camera zooms in What we got is movie magic Oh so funny, so dramatic Feels like, feels like Don’t let the credits roll just quite yet I want another scene with ya in love forever cinema Act two and the tired sets in Productivity takes a spell I would get moving if I could get up (I need a montage) There’s a light at the end of today A little spark inside a coffee cup A little hero with poking out ears And a curly headed sidekick, They could never be stopped And there’s a princess building a tower And there’s a queen beautiful and strong And there’s a king dancing ‘round his throne In the sideshow castle where his heart belongs And it feels like, it feels like Music crescendos and the camera zooms in What we got is movie magic Oh so funny, so dramatic Feels like, feels like Don’t let the credits roll just quite yet I want another scene with ya in love forever cinema And this is the part I was born to play This is the part I was born to play It’s low budget and I’m not up for any awards, I don’t care Lights, camera, action, let it roll She won the all-time box office totals Second place wasn’t even close Please don’t let the story end I’d stand in line to watch it all start again And it feels like, it feels like Music crescendos and the camera zooms in What we got is movie magic Feels like, feels like Don’t let the credits roll just quite yet I want another scene with ya in love forever cinema

Leave It All On the Floor 04:19

Tonight I’m gonna let go of it all Shake it off, step to another drum Close my eyes, pray it up, take the fall, thank you Lord Leave it all on the floor Tonight I’m gonna take a look around Why would I ever be to another bound? Oh no, bless my soul, never wanted nothing more Leave it all on the floor Sometimes we get what we don’t deserve Thank you Lord that the sun shines on the just and the unjust Baby, will you please forgive me I had it all, I just couldn’t see the treasure that I held in my own arms So tonight fix my eyes on the prize Let go of my pride and my lies for my life Tonight I’m gonna let go of it all Shake it off, step to another drum Close my eyes, pray it up, take the fall, thank you Lord Leave it all on the floor Tonight I’m gonna take a look around Why would I ever be to another bound? Oh no, bless my soul, never wanted nothing more Leave it all on the floor I remember you walking towards me My feet on stone, heart on fire, melting in November cold Baby, you were such a rebel I was nothing more than a good pretender Now we’re one I wanna make you proud of what we become So tonight fix my eyes on the prize Let go of my pride and my lies for my life Tonight I’m gonna let go of it all Shake it off, step to another drum Close my eyes, pray it up, take the fall, thank you Lord Leave it all on the floor Tonight I’m gonna take a look around Why would I ever be to another bound? Oh no, bless my soul, never wanted nothing more Leave it all on the floor Tonight I’m gonna get it Didn’t know I had it, but you can be sure I’m leaving with it, so I… (Thank you Lord) Because this is it (and I know just what it isn’t) This present that you’ve been blessing You’re love has been so persistent for me Tonight I’m gonna let go of it all Shake it off, step to another drum Close my eyes, pray it up, take the fall, thank you Lord Leave it all on the floor Tonight I’m gonna take a look around Why would I ever be to another bound? Oh no, bless my soul, never wanted nothing more Leave it all on the floor Tonight I'm gonna let it go Tonight I'm gonna let it go

One I Want 04:06
lyrics

Girl, I’m just a poor boy walking barefoot on the road Trying to find my way through the blinding snow And I know enough to see exactly what I’m not And I’ve seen enough to know You’re the one I want You didn’t care about my credentials when you spun into me You didn’t put up no pretenses, you were real and free And you showed me every flawed square inch of your broken heart Wwhat I see is beautiful You’re the one I want Be mine tonight Let your tornado come and interrupt my life You don’t got a princess crown You just gotta hold me down I could sky write our love up in a jet plane I could run over to your house in the pouring rain I could pick you flowers from the mountain top But I don’t wanna play those games You’re the one I want Be mine tonight Sew yourself into the fabric of my life I don’t got a sword or steed I just wanna be your need I won’t stop til I get everything I want All I want is your sweet lovin’ This my lot Don’t deserve anything I got But I’m so, so thankful for it Be mine tonight How could I want for a different kind of life? Baby, would you look around Look at all the love we found Someday we will leave the strength and the beauty of youth Someday we’ll fall down tired, girl ain’t that the truth? And I’ll be an old man singing the same old song Sing it to my sweet old lady You’re the one I want Now to my sweet lady You’re the one I want

As I live and breathe, it’s like I didn’t breathe Until you let it out And a mighty cry, tears in my eyes Can I hold you now? With a heavy heart I'll let you grow It’s too good a love to let it go So listen up Baby, this my song You will not be disowned You belong to me Even when we’re wrong If we don’t get along You belong to me All the things I knew disappeared from view When you held my hand And it’s like I died when you caught my eyes I’m alive again With a heavy heart I'll let you grow It’s too good a love to let it go So listen up Baby, this my song You will not be disowned You belong to me Even when we’re wrong If we don’t get along You belong to me I never what higher love was like Until I heard your cry I never what higher love was like Until I heard your cry Baby, breathe, let life in Let life into your lungs As you go always know You can run into my arms Baby, this my song You will not be disowned You belong to me Even when we’re wrong If we don’t get along You belong to me Baby, this my tune Whatever we go through I belong to you And When the storms Break our hearts in two I belong to you

Apple and the Tree 02:12

The apple don’t fall too far from the tree The apple don’t fall too far from the tree If you wanna know where the apples go They ain’t too far from the tree Any old field you find Where the apple trees are ripe The apples don’t pack up and wave goodbye They just fall right under the tree The apple don’t fall too far from the tree The apple don’t fall too far from the tree If you wanna know where the apples go They ain’t too far from the tree Stars shoot across the sky And birds leave their nest to fly They don’t always make it, but man they try But apples just fall from the tree The apple don’t fall too far from the tree The apple don’t fall too far from the tree If you wanna know where the apples go They ain’t too far from the tree So trees, don’t forget If you’re apples ain’t fallin’ yet Be careful with what you do and say ‘Cause those apples are gonna be trees someday Oh, the letter gave way to the phone And wires brought the message But now the world is changing and we’re wire free But the apple still falls from the tree The apple don’t fall too far from the tree The apple don’t fall too far from the tree If you wanna know where the apples go They ain’t too far from the tree If you wanna know where the apples go They ain’t too far from the tree

Strong hands lifted me up before I could walk Strong voice gave me a word before I could talk Strong feet made a path to follow on my way Strong arms welcomed me back when I wanted to stray And I don’t say it enough Thank you I don’t say it enough Thank you for the… Strong heart showed me it’s ok to cry And taught me love is sacrifice If I could have a strong heart Storms will try to rip you all apart I’m glad you had a strong heart If I could have a strong heart like yours Strong stand You always went for what you thought was right Strong man You led me when I couldn’t see the light And it’s funny More each day it’s like I’m looking through your sight Thank you for your strong heart Thank you for my strong start Strong heart showed me it’s ok to cry And taught me love is sacrifice If I could have a strong heart Storms will try to rip you all apart Thank God you had a strong heart If I could have a strong heart like yours And while I have this moment I want to tell you something I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your strong loving And for the days gone And for the days coming I want to thank you for your strong heart Beating for me You taught me all about a love And showed me how to look above If I need a strong heart This world, you know it comes around again And now I’m holding little hands And I need a strong like yours Yes, I need a strong heart I need a strong heart like yours

Put It On Me 04:54

Sometimes I don't know what to say But the world is crazy, it's always been that way Sometimes I don't know how to try When I see so much hurt painted in your eyes The world has a way of beating you down The world has a way of beating you down You got in a rut and you can't get out The world has a way of beating you down What if you could take this weight If you could restart this day And put it on me, put it on me What if in this world of dread You can't even hold up your head Could you put it on me, put it on me Sometimes I feel so alone I know this world is crazy and it's my home Sometimes I feel so stuck, I wanna find a way to give up But I still believe in a hope It's just the world has a way of beating me down The world has a way of beating me down Sometimes I put up walls to keep love out The world has a way of beating me down What if... What if I could take this weight If I could restart this day And put it on you, put on you What if in this world of dread I can't even hold up my head Could I put on you, put it on you All and all Heart and soul Put it on me, put it on me, love Everything, joy and pain Put it on me, put it on me The world has a way of beating us down The world has a way of beating us down The world has a way of beating us down But nothing could be stronger than the love we found What if you could take this weight If you could restart this day Put it on me What if in this world of dread You can't even hold up your head You can put it on me, put it on me (Every now and then when you break apart) All and all (Call me and I'll run right to where you are) Heart and soul (Take your heavy burdens and let them fall) You can put it on me, put it on me, love (When the thief takes everything you know) Everything (Your heart is heavy, but you've got a ways to go) Joy and pain (You can lean on my love) You can put it on me, put it on me

Your Pop calls you Red and I call you babe Baby, I call you babe You know what I've said and it ain't gonna change You're the most beautiful thing I've seen And you are not alone in this You came to our lives sooner than we planned Baby son, you were right on time A gift from God's heart I love the way you greet the world with open arms You are one of a kind And you are not alone in this You joined in the fight You were a middle child before you were a middle child Did you know that I love your voice? Go on, talk to me, guy Tell me all about life And you are not alone And now I am sure what I got is worth more Than all the gold in all the world I can wake with a hope, I can stand up and know That I am not alone in this It's quiet tonight Look in my eyes with those beautiful far-sighted eyes They're all asleep, but Girlie, we got dreams to dream So put your little hand in mine And you are not alone in this O my loves, my loves My loves, my loves Listen up, listen up You are not alone in this

about

This album for me is about wearing my heart right out on my sleeve. It's a very personal set of music. For those who claim me, these songs are love notes to you. For myself, it's a call to stand up and notice the blessings around me and not waste this beautiful life.

To my family and friends, thank you for making me want to sing at the top of my lungs.

To anyone listening, God bless.
Love, Ross
