Being an artist can be hard. Be beautiful, truthful and just don't stop. Written for and inspired by my incredible wife.

lyrics

Hey there, Jo, are you the same girl you used to be?
Behind those eyes I’m certain I find uncertainty
Savory smile – the cold wind kicks in to kiss your teeth
Without looking down and confidently you leave your feet
And breathe a soft sigh of relief
Hey there, Jo, are you the same girl you used to be?

It crosses your mind sometimes
Silently you’re bleeding and screaming
“Oh my God, there’s no more time”

Well, now, now – the lessons learned out-did your school
You’ve been stepped on and put down
Yet you rebound and somehow keep your cool
What’s expected will always change
When you try to apply what you know – what do you know of the rules?
There’s ain’t no blueprint
It doesn’t matter if you have the tools
Jojo, just don’t act the fool

Yeah
It crosses your mind sometimes
Silently you’re bleeding and screaming
“Oh my God, there’s no more…”

Hey there, Jo, are you the same girl you used to be?
Without looking down and confidently you leave your feet
And breathe a soft sigh of relief
Hey there, Jo, are you the same girl you used to be?

Yeah
Open up your mind and you’ll find
Suddenly you’re breathing and seeing
All you’ve got is love
All you ever really need is love
All you’ve got is love and time
