I continue to be amazed and inspired by the courage and perseverance of the Ukrainian people. Fighting and dying, Street by street, yard by yard, on their homeland for the right to self-determination and the very freedom we take for granted. I shouldn’t be surprised. I married one! For my wife, Adela, and the gallant people of Ukraine and the late Richard D. Hanusey, EdD.

This lyric is about the craziness of living in the world today. No one has time for anybody anymore, everybody's just moving at such a fast Pace. Simple pleasures are no longer simple, everything is a fight, it's just an arduous task to get through a day. All the distractions, the traffic on the roads, and the angry people behind the wheel. There's so much distraction, so much temptation, and so much aggravation. It's really hard to take, and it won't be long before the world just blows up totally. There's so many wars and so much hate I'm not sure how much longer this can last.

This lyric is about the mountains. I'm an avid hiker, and a professional mountain guide. Nowhere have I ever found the peace of mind that I do when I go up to the mountains. It's been such a spiritual and ultimate physical experience for me. To become one with nature, just to become one with the Earth. Someday I'm going to live up in the mountains, and get away from all the hustle and bustle. There's just too much bad news, bad politics, and aggravation living in populated areas. The mountains are my home for feeling safe, the mountains are a place where I feel needed, the mountains are placed that gives back, and I can give back to nature as well.

This lyric is about a relationship that went wrong. At first the person says to the other person please don't ever leave me and they're reassured that they never will. They both believe they'll always be together. But then one day she decides to leave and he's left alone. He can't believe it, and it's beside himself. He loves her so much, and we'll do anything to get her back. All he wants is another shot.

This lyric is about the way I used to be when I was younger and when I was using drugs and alcohol. I was so self-centered, narcissistic, it had really no sense of what other people were thinking or feeling. And quite frankly I didn't care. It was a very lonely existence. Today, I've gotten help and understand that it's not all about me. But this lyric is basically focused on the self-centeredness that I showed before I got sober.
