It’s a song where I could say everything I’ve wanted to say, and hear everything I’ve wanted to hear. When we give ourselves our love, we learn that every bit of love comes from within — whether for ourselves, another person, or anything else.”

“ABOVE TREES” LYRICS (SNEAK PEAK)
Let me take care of you
Till I fill all the air of you
I know that it’s law to love you
And no one can take it from you
I could write you a love song every day
I could rest in your face
I could drown in your ways
