Pink Elephant



Help heal a war-weary world

We’re all looking at the same moon and stars

The paths we take

History’s full of bad jokes and cracks in nooks

But who cares to look?

The world’s a lie

I don’t see the world; I see myself


Pink elephant in the room, in the room, in the room

Never did I foresee

Yellow monkey jump around, jump around, jump around

Little did I believe

What does it take for me to see, for me to see, for me to see

The root lies with me


God, I’m broken

Lost my connection, and I float alone

God, I’m hanging on

Change the channel, broadcast me there. Where?

Right where you abide

The world’s a lie

I don’t see the world; I see myself


Pink elephant in the room, in the room, in the room

Never did I foresee

Monkey jump around, jump around, jump around

Little did I believe

What does it take for me to see, for me to see, for me to see

The root lies with me

A guitar, a voice, and a little love—here I found my home in the world.


I grew up listening to Simon And Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Tracy Chapman, and many other folk legends.


Music teaches me to surrender and flow with life. To let go, let my little soul play, and the song naturally arises in that space. I capture that moment live with minimal production. My wish is for the songs to come alive in you.
