Story Behind The Song
Henry is an ode to the force of creation, the beauty of the natural world, and the love that exists between us all. I named this force, "Henry" to convey that experiences, sights, and names that may seem common have layers of depth that are exquisite and beautiful. It is also often interpreted as a love song that conveys deep, abiding devotion and emotion.
Song Description
Henry is a love song so rich in imagery and melody that it often puts listeners in a mellow, serene state. It conveys love and is rich in nature imagery, as well as a deep love and appreciation for "Henry" at the chorus, who embodies all things good and beautiful in the world.

Lyrics
Henry
you came along
calling in moonlight
calling in song
seasons they sang
all through these countries
all in your name
and you roll across the land
whispering remember
the truth in the oceans
the mountains the forests
the blood and the breath and the sands
while hope grows beyond
what's been written beyond
what's been known
all at once the earth opens
spilling rubies, fairy tales, harmonies,
new beginnings and open
sesame, here comes the moon
Henry, you glow
winds silent so
bearing no predictions
save time for the last dance so slow
see how life comes with you
anchoring freedom into new heartbeats
how you love, how you love, how you love
all at once the earth opens
spilling rubies, fairy tales, harmonies,
new beginnings and open
sesame, here comes the moon
Henry, you glow
winds silent so
bearing no predictions
save time for the last dance so slow
