about

This is the first song I wrote after being paralyzed.
It's my identity manifesto of sorts.

lyrics

Well I'm wandering down this barren road and I'm looking for a lighter load
To carry, not on my own

And I'm searchin' for an open door to rest my head on this hard wood floor and I'm lyin', not on my own

And oh I'm a gypsy
I'm a pilgrim
I'm a son
I'm a bride

Everything in the world is awake it's alive and wondering how and I'm asking why and I'm doubtin', not on my own

And the waves they crash and the waves they rise and I'm lookin' for a reason why to open, these blood shot eyes

And oh I'm a gypsy
I'm a pilgrim
I'm a son
I'm a bride

And I'm longing for my coming home where the tears are gone and I'm running towards Your arms, always open wide

And the sweet embrace of my Papa's heart and that tender smile tears me apart in the most, beautiful way

And it's a foolish love I can't understand that He'd lead me here that He'd take my hand and I'd know, I'm not on my own

Oh I'm a gypsy
I'm a pilgrim
I'm a son
I'm a bride

And the Wedding Feast it's near not far and I'm longing just to be where You are again, not on my own

And the marriage wine it's sweet not dry and I'll drink it up and I'll close my eyes just to see, I'm never alone

I'm a gypsy
I'm a pilgrim
I'm a son
I'm a bride

Isaac is former member of the late band Healing Power, formerly known as Pomegranates. I didn't know it possible to have a favorite band, Healing Power is mine. Isaac's solo work is incredible. Pilgrim Kid

Could Be Better

Kyle Ewing (TTO) is a dear friend of mine and this split holds some of his finest work to date. I played a show with Compson and he makes really solid tunes. Pilgrim Kid
