Here Are lyrics To A New Song Of Daniel’s
Hey guys…
Hope you all are having a wonderful Tuesday afternoon. I just back home from spending the morning writing with my friend (and amazing songwriter) Sarah Hart. I really love what we came up with today…& while I have nothing to actually PLAY for you, here’s the lyric. I’ll talk with you all soon.
Blessings - Daniel
EVERYBODY’S BEEN
I’m so up in the air
Don’t know where I’ll go to next
I tried standing my ground
But it all came down around me
At the end of the rope
I hope against hope, less & less
That something can pull me through, when…
Oh, lo & behold
I hear a voice & it says let go
Oh, cause you’re gonna fall
Might as well give it your all
Oh, it’s never the end
Pick yourself up & start over again
Cause in life you always land
Where everybody’s been
Oh well, I was a fool
Put myself up on a pedestal
It’s hard to come back down
Be a face in the crowd around me
God knows just what I need
Truth to come & knock me off my feet
And still I’m hanging on for life, when…
Oh, lo & behold
I hear a voice & it says let go
Oh, cause you’re gonna fall
Might as well give it your all
Oh, it’s never the end
Pick yourself up & start over again
Cause in life you always land
Where everybody’s been
I may be good, or maybe not
I may do right, might miss the mark
Help me forgive my selfish heart
I may be good, or maybe not
I may do right, might miss the mark
Help me forgive my selfish heart
For all I am & am not doing
Oh God, I’m only human
Oh, lo & behold
I hear a voice & it says let go
Oh, cause you’re gonna fall
Might as well give it your all
Oh, it’s never the end
Pick yourself up & start over again
Cause in life you always land
Where everybody’s been

Here Is The Latest blog post from Daniel!
So I’m sitting here tonight in my hotel room in Lexington, MA with every light turned off sipping on some Perrier water & munching on a bag of Skittles (don’t judge me…it’s the perfect post-show snack - hahaha). It’s quiet, & I’ve opened the blinds so I can watch December’s first New England snow-fall against the dark sky. It’s quite beautiful outside; so crisp, clean, new… It’s kinda the perfect picture to sit and reflect.
You see, I’m in the process of finishing up a pretty busy week. In fact, this may have been one of the busiest weeks I’ve had all year (& it’s been a whirlwind of a year). By this time tomorrow, I will have played for 7 different events in 5 days through 5 different states (TN, MA, CT, RI & NJ)…WHEW! Of course, after the show tomorrow night in Jersey, I get to travel to New York for a few days off. This will be my first trip to “The Big Apple” & it’s taken almost 31 years to get there…I can’t wait!!! However, for now, it’s nice to enjoy a quiet evening of simple reflexion.
So let’s reflect: If I’m being honest, 2009 has been a year of some amazing highs but at the same time discouraging lows. Now I know there will be people from all different walks of life that’ll read this but I’m sure many of you know what I’m talking about when I say “lows”. Despite the various specifics that surround our lives, I’m talking about those situations that make your stomach churn & your heart ache…those instances you feel that despite all your work & striving you still fall short. The kind of moments that, at times, make you question everything you know & trust. Those are hard seasons for anyone to walk through…& I’ve been there!
So what do we do in those seasons? Well, I remember a pastor once saying that most of our lives are meant to be lived in the valley yet oftentimes we fool ourselves into believing life is to be meant to be lived on top of the mountain. He went on to say that those “mountain top experiences” were God’s way of encouraging our souls along this journey of life. I love that image…an image where my God knows & cares enough about my daily situation to send deliberate moments of encouragement for my heart. I believe something like that can only be described as a glimpse of heaven.
Tonight, as I’m looking out on the freshly fallen snow, all I can think about is how much I feel blessed. I can say with full confidence that I’m resting on the mountain-top this evening. When my time here in New England comes to an end, I’ll be walking away blessed & overly encouraged by the people I’ve had the chance to meet &/or reconnect with; those who trust me enough to share their time and stories; those whom I lovingly refer to not as fans…but as friends, family…my brothers & sisters! I know God is purposeful in our lives. His love finds a way to each of our hearts…& most times it takes us completely by surprise.
In saying all this, I’m in no way deluded by that fact that the beautiful glow of this week’s experience will gradually fade into a memory; something I’m bound to sit with friends & reminisce fondly over. Surely just as gradual will be the inevitable journey back into the valley. However, as it comes, I’m resolved to face it without fear but with a renewed hope; hope in my fellow man but more importantly in my Heavenly Father. With 2010 is right around the corner, I can’t help but look forward to a new year & the chance at new beginnings…convinced more than ever that whether we’re seeking it intently or not… God’s love always finds a way to our hearts…
Blessings my friends -
Daniel

What’s up my friends…
As those of you who follow me on twitter know (http://www.twitter.com/danielkirkley), I got together this morning with my friend Adam Smith for a little writing appointment.
