--------------------------------------------
Theory of “Someday Peace Love & Freedom”
--------------------------------------------
Have problems? Of course, you do. You're an individual living in a society that values appearance over substance. Difference and uniqueness are rejected. Concern for your body outweighs the beauty of your soul. Money is the foundation, without which life can collapse suddenly.

This is nothing new. 30 years ago Bob Marley sang of “Songs of freedom.” Throughout history, there has clearly been a conflict between the outer facade and the inner reality, between the physical and the spiritual, between what we touch and what we can only sense. Darkness and light, left and right, yin and yang, male and female – the list is endless, isn't it?

“Someday Peace Love & Freedom” is the eternal flame of hope, a mantra for change. Countries go to war, financial markets go up and down, jobs come and go. These things you cannot control, or can you? How do you react to the chaos of the universe, whether it takes the form of a cheating spouse or an unbearable supervisor? I'm not going to say his CD has the answers, but it may be a helping hand when you need one.

To date, “Someday Peace Love & Freedom” is my most critically acclaimed album. Logo Magazine dubbed it “The Voice of Social Conscience”. Out Music nominated this CD for 2004 Outstanding Male Album of the Year, winning the Fresh Fruit Festival Award for Best Male Performance. “Free” and “I Miss You” received honorable mention at the 14th Annual Billboard Song Contest and helped claim the #1 position on NY Indie Myspace Fusion, Healing, and Neo-Soul Music Charts. I had the honor of sharing the stage with Motown Recording Artist Donnie, Def Jam Poet Staceyann Chin and recording an unplugged live DVD with Emmy-Nominated director Bill Cote.

But what is most important is my ability to help others. I made a commitment to give back after realizing how much I had been given. I graduated from NYU with a BA in Economics, I worked very hard and became an honors student. It is now my responsibility to do what I can to raise awareness and advance goodness. Over the years I've supported Lifebeat (HIV/AIDS), Drug Rehabilitation Programs, Domestic Violence Awareness, National Disability Awareness, September 11th Concerts, THAW (Theaters Against War), Hiroshima-Nagasaki Commemoration, Gay Pride and Earth Day Celebrations.

When you play track #5, a slow reggae groove begins that slowly morphs into “The Beggar’s Cup.” This song tells the story of a beggar at a street corner - but he doesn’t want money, he “wants for something that will last. So put a little love in my cup now” he pleads.

“Someday Peace Love & Freedom” is only calling individuals who understand this message, individuals who believe in what this music stands for. Individuals like yourself who are committed to making this world a better place. You're in control, everything you do helps to make a difference - just like pebbles create ripples on a lake. So go ahead and set your own price and take this message home. Now watch the changes that occur in your life.
--------------------------------------------
Someday we'll get together
Someday we'll be alright
Someday we'll stop this hatred... That's keeping us apart...
Someday be today

Track Name: Hold On
I laid in my bed last night
Starring up to the sky
The walls seem to be closing in around me
Tears welled up in the corner of my eye

Seems like these problems will never end
I need an answer - tell me when will this end

I know others looking in on me
Think that I have so much
they see all the things that I am doing
They don’t see me leaning on this crutch

Hope springs eternal as long as life lasts
But I need an answer - tell me when will this end

Hold on
Track Name: Free
Cut the strings untie the things
That keep you down, bound, facing ground
Lost now found
Undo the knot that keeps you caught
Wrought in despair, change is here
So calm your fears

No more disillusions
No more pain regrets
No more running scared when things don’t turn out right
No more sad heartbreaks
No more broke heartaches
No more wondering what will happen to me in the end

Free I want to be free

I want to soar, I want to fly
High in the sky no more to cry
Or watch love go by
One step at a time is how I’ll climb
Won’t stop until I reach the top
Track Name: Peace
What would you do if you saw 2 children arguing?
What would you do if one of them was your own?
Now what would you do if they broke out into a fight?
How long would it take for you to call for…

Peace

Would if matter which child was right or which was wrong?
Would it matter which child struck the first blow?
Would it matter which religion each child belonged to?
No it wouldn’t matter at all; you’d just want some…

Peace

Well if this is what we want for our children
Why don’t we want if for ourselves?
War is never the answer, so lift your voice and call for…

Peace
Track Name: What r u begging for
We're all rich, yet we're all poor
What's important is to find out
What you're begging for...
Track Name: The Beggar's Cup
I am begging at this corner
I am lying here in rags
But I don't need no money
I want something that will last

I am sitting in the sunshine
But all I feel is rain
I wish I knew the answers
So I could end this pain

Winter is coming
But I have no where to go
I hope I don't die this time around
I hope I find my way back home

Cause they say that I cannot live out here in the streets
They say this is no place for me to be
They say this box is not a home
They say that man cannot live alone

That's why my hands they are trembling
Cause I'm tired and I'm scared
Tonight my cup is empty
It hasn't been filled in years

Chorus
So put a little bit a love in my cup now
Put a little bit of love today
Put a little bit a of love in my cup
Put a little bit of love today.
Track Name: Fighting for Love (The Warrior's Song)
I am a warrior preparing for war
I am a warrior I step through this door
The enemy is ignorance, the enemy is hate
I am a warrior, I’m fighting for love
Track Name: Lost/Found
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

I had been bound, my head facing down
And I stayed there out of my fear
I shut out the light, lost all my sight
Believe the lies and your soul dies

Felt like a jail, set up to fail
Glued to a box, couldn’t hear life knocks
Place I had been, knew I couldn’t win
Believe the lies and your soul dies
Track Name: U
U are my sun U are my moon
My universe revolves around U
U are my light my day and night
Clouds part when U enter the room
U are the wind U are the rain
Wash me make me whole again
U are my life U are my life

This morning as I gaze at Ur sleeping face
There’s so much that I want to say
I want to tell U now how much U mean to me
I want to tell U now U mean the world to me

I’d be lost and lonely without U
I’d be like a ship afloat without a sail
I’d do anything to spare U pain
I’d give up everything to live this way
Track Name: I Miss You
Remember how we used to touch
Remember how we used to kiss
Before we fell this far apart

Remember your hands in mine
Fingers running down my spine
Before we became so self involved

I miss U

Remember how you used to smile
Every time I touched your…
Remember the love in your eyes
Every time your lips met mine

I miss U
Track Name: Love Again
My heart’s been waiting, anticipating
For you to come and love me again
My heart’s been longing for some belonging
For you to come and love me again
Love me again.
Track Name: A New Me
I open my eyes and look around at the place I am at... I analyze it
I realize it is not the place for me to be
I see More

so I look up
past the darkness, past the pain, past the hurt, past the rain
Clouds that keep me over cast, threatening down pour upon my poor soul

I pray this storm brewing, stewing within, wouldn't catch me unprepared. Its weird I know
But I got this feeling that this ceiling I am under
will protect me
then I think.

And in my final deduction I realize this construction of ...bad habits
My ugly little rabbits that hide under
Will keep me locked in a jail spelt fail forever protected from the... Rain

So I get up from where I'm laying, staying, delaying, always saying…I will
but never willing myself to... do and
I do the impossible

I stop this emotional war. All my battles are won
Get up off this mental floor
Reach for the door that opens to ... ME. Beautiful and alive
Cause whosoever said that I was GREAT... was Right... Is Right... and will always be Right
I am!!!

But wait, don't put your hands together just yet. Listen... Listen to the calm
It’s the way our universe applauds
a new Me
Track Name: Someday
Someday we’ll get together
Someday we’ll be all right
Someday we’ll stop this hatred
That’s keeping us apart

Someday we’ll know what love is
Someday we’ll lend a hand
Someday we’ll know who God is
Someday we’ll understand

Someday I’ll look into your heart
Someday you’ll look in mine
Just think of the happiness
You and I could find

Someday we’ll hug our sisters
Someday erase the scars
Someday we’ll see our brothers
Someday remove the bars
Someday we know our children
Love them for who they are
