    I think that on some level, inside each one of us, is a person who sometimes questions whether we're okay or not. This song is about those feelings.

    Story Behind the Song
    This song took the longest of any I've written to complete... almost 2 years. I got the first verse in just a couple of days, but every time I tried to work on the song, the words just wouldn't come for me. I revisited this song countless times. I felt a lot inside about it. During a 4 day camping trip I tried to force the issue, but it still wasn't right. I left it alone after that until a few months ago. Almost 2 years like I said. The song finally came one day after exploring a little of myself. I think that on some level, inside each one of us, is a person who sometimes questions whether we're okay or not. Sometime we feel okay about things, and at other times, our personal trials can really cause us to question. Finally for me, this song came at a time when the "me inside" was struggling with feelings of being vulnerable and wondering if my dreams would ever allow me to step into greater acceptance of others. I hope I'm making a difference.

    Lyrics
    Will I hold together or fall apart
    Dare I let you touch my heart?
    I'm somehow standing all alone
    I feel to run, yet I long for home... I long for home

    I guess my life has been confused
    I try to give but I feel so used
    Ever searching, but never found
    How'd I get so upside down

    As I search my heart for answers
    And some meanings come along
    Like a glimpse into a lost reality
    I am drawing ever closer to the singer of the song
    As I gaze into this mirror it is me

    Am I so misunderstood?
    Or lost to everything that's good
    I'm reaching out with trembling hands
    Hoping you might understand... just understand

    Like the dream before you wake
    Memory often can't relate
    So I walk this winding road
    And feel the burden of my load

    As I search my heart for answers
    And some meanings come along
    Like a glimpse into a lost reality
    And I'm drawing ever closer to the singer of the song
    As I gaze into this mirror it is me... It is me

    Will I hold together or fall apart
    Dare I let you touch my heart
