Story Behind The Song
Originally called Grasp, Piece of Mind has gone through several stages before ending up in happy land. The lyric is told from a father?s point of view, although I wrote the lyric based on what a son might wish his father would say to him.

Lyrics
I know that it's hard to see
You might even disagree
But this I can say with some certainty
Find what you really crave
And to show that you're really brave
By so gathering ripples and building waves
Listen for just one moment
Don?t follow the path I lead
I believe in ya son and I know that you will succeed
Start with an action plan
Cause that's where they all began
And next thing you know you'll be superman
Listen for just one moment
Don?t follow the path I lead
I want you to chase your own dreams
And only take what you need
Watch out for sharks and lawyers
They?ll make all your money bleed
I believe in you son and I know that you will succeed
I will still love you if you fail
You know where I'll be
But I know that you?ll prevail
When you hit Tennessee
Try not to get behind
To give yourself peace of mind
By gathering rays into warm sunshine
Listen for one more second
This destiny you fulfill
It makes my whole life worth living
And gives me a sudden chill
Watch out for snakes and agents
They?ll walk you both ways up hill
I believe in ya son and I always will
