All song lyrics for "Dreamer"

Break Me
I've come from a long line of strong
Men and women who played their own songs
Hearts of gold, but don't mistake
They're soft as butter but they're hard to break

Everything that I am and gonna be
Is all because of my God and my family
So these storms, these waves, they're never gonna take me
This world with their cruel words, they're never gonna break me, no

I've been down a tough road or two
I've got the scars to prove that's it's true
But every one led me to a place
Of a better heart and a stronger faith

Life should not be lived alone
With so much to gain, from what's around you
I didn't get here on my own

Everything that I am and gonna be

Is all because of my God and my family

And as long as my heart stays true to this

I'll have an army inside of it

So these storms, these waves, they're never gonna take me

This world with their cruel words, they're never gonna break me, no

I'm a product of my Father

I'm a lover of my God

My strength each day, grows a little bit louder

So, I'm stronger than I was yesterday

And I'll be stronger tomorrow

Everything that I am and gonna be

Is all because of my God and my family

And as long as my heart stays true to this

I'll have an army inside of it
(2x)

So these storms, these waves, they're never gonna take me

This world with their cruel words, they're never gonna break me

Your Love

I'm feeling 10 feet tall and I'm as happy as the man in the moon

And everything is just right from the stars to the flowers in bloom

There's no amount of money, there's no house on a hill

There's only one thing that makes this heart feel the way I feel

I'm singing hey, hey, yeah

It's Your love, it's Your love

(2x)

Now you pick me up now I'm shining like the 4th of July

I've got a brand new heart and a flame in my eyes

There's no amount of money, there's no house on a hill

There's only one thing that makes this heart feel the way I feel

I'm singing hey, hey, yeah

It's Your love, it's Your love

(2x)

No more lonely days, no more tears fall from my eyes

Everything is beautiful since you opened up my heart now I'm alive

I can't help but to shout it out

No choice but to sing it loud when you feel the way I do

I'm singing hey, hey, yeah

It's Your love, it's Your love

(2x)

When my heart is broken and my soul in need, I turn to Your love

Every move I make and every breath I breathe, I turn to Your love

Move In Closer

I've stood alone in the pouring rain

I've walked in fire and felt the pain

I've lost all my hope and pride

From a heart that's bruised and broke inside

But I knew I had to cease the day

And thought it took some time to find my way

I've made it through and I've came to life

And You're the only reason why

You save me, as I move in closer, I move in closer

You amaze me

My heartache's over as I move in closer to You

A voice rang out and it called my name

And I heard it through the pouring rain

And then You showed me how to be alive

Mountains have all been moved aside

I've found my heart and I've found my place

I've seen Your love and I've seen Your grace

I've made it through and I've come to life

And You're the only reason why

You save me, as I move in closer, I move in closer

You amaze me

My heartache's over as I move in closer to You

(3x)



Turned Me Around
I've been talking about the fire
For years and years, been preaching about the Name
But I lost my heart and started feeling like a liar
Like I sold my soul to the playing of the game

I was tired of the song I was singing
I needed help with the air I was breathing
And You came on down
And You turned me around

And when you're standing in the dark
In the cold, on the stones of abandoned streets
That's when you lost all that you are
And you don't understand why it was so hard to see

We all get tired of the songs that we're singing
We all need help with the air that we're breathing
And He comes on down
And turns it around

We are more than our weakness
We are more than our strengths
We are all that we are from the One who formed the seas
We are more than our egos
We are more than our scars
We are all that we are from the One who holds the stars

I've been talking about the fire
For years and years been preaching about the Name
And that very One, has brought me through the mire
And my heart will never be the same
My heart will never be the same



More Than That
No time to spend with You
I wonder if I'm ever going to change
Here we are, we've grown apart
And I know I'm the only one to blame

My heart is dying
Cause I've been so wrapped up in myself
I'm crying out, I'm desperate for help
And I need You more than ever

So I fall to the ground
Cause I want to be better
Though You take me as I am
You deserve more than that

New eyes to see You
Better than I ever have before
I'm ready to be who You made me to be
So with Your loving arms here to catch me

I will fall to the ground
Cause I want to be better
Though You take me as I am
You deserve more than that

I'm no good on my own
And I've been here way to long
I'm drawing near so come and meet me here
Save my soul

As I fall to the ground

Cause I want to be better

Though You take me as I am

I wanna give You more

Cause You deserve more than that

Blue Skies

I could not believe what I was seeing

It shook my world and stalled my breathing

I took a second to compose myself and said,

"Nice to meet you"

More beautiful than southern skies

With silky hair and deep blue eyes

It made me feel so warm inside 

With the glowing of your smile

When I met you, you

I could see through

To the time where we both say "Forever"

It's true, that you

Helped me see blue

Skies for the first time, in a while

When this kind of music plays

You better dance, don't even think twice, no

You're not gonna want to miss a thing 

When this moment comes along

Starry night, air of spring

We talked until the day was over

Two hearts hanging by a string

Didn't take long for them to fall

No, not at all

When I met you, you

I could see through

To the time where we both say "Forever"

It's true, that you

Helped me see blue

Skies for the first time, in a while

Tales of a Dreamer
These are the tales of a dreamer
From the highest mountain to the valley of schemers
I know we all have a story to remember
Our very own tale as a dreamer

From the young hearts dreaming of true love
To a lonely child just dreaming of a hug
From those starry eyes seeing Hollywood streets
To the family who dreams of just making ends meat

You can learn to fly
If you let your heart go free everyday
Just lift your eyes
Cause it's a gift from above to live that way
So go on and dream away

Have you ever thought about something day and night
And gave it all you had to get it just right
Have you ever been afraid your dreams might fail
Just to give 'em a chance and hope they sail

But you've gotta walk right you've gotta walk strong
Cause sometimes the road of a dreamer is long
But hold your head high and press on through
You just might be surprised how many come true

You can learn to fly

If you let your heart go free everyday

Just lift your eyes

Cause it's a gift from above to live that way

So go on and dream away

These are the tales of a dreamer

From the purest hearts to the line of leavers

Are you gonna be one of the believers

And share your tale as a dreamer

You can learn to fly

If you let your heart go free everyday

Just lift your eyes

Cause it's a gift from above to live that way

So go on and dream away

Better Days

You lost your stride in a single day

When life barged in and took your hope away

Pain rains down your lonely face

Confusion only running through your veins

You're not alone, you're not alone

We all stumble in our own shoes

When our hearts get beat 'til they're black and blue

But if we fight through the fear of being afraid

We're gonna stumble onto some better days

It might look like you're standing 10 inches tall

You might feel like your faith has hit the wall

Like you're flying in a plane and the engine stalls

And you don't know if it's gonna fly or fall

You're not alone, you're not alone

We all stumble in our own shoes

When our hearts get beat 'til they're black and blue

But if we run through the fire and into God's grace

We're gonna stumble onto some better days

We all stumble in our own shoes

When our hearts get beat 'til they're black and blue

But if we fight through the fear of being afraid

We're gonna stumble onto some better days 

We all stumble in our own shoes

When our hearts get beat 'til they're black and blue

But if we run through the fire and into God's grace

We're gonna stumble onto some better days

Trent Monk Bio

Trent Monk in the Here and Now...
Revitalized Singer Flying Solo and Loving It

At some point among the crashing plates and angry customers, Trent Monk realized he was missing his calling.

“I was going to culinary school to be a chef. I was working in a restaurant and went, wait, what am I doing?” he said. “The learning curve was years ahead of me to become a great chef. Did I want to leave behind all 10 years that I had put into music? That’s when I began to realize why I started doing music in the first place. God starting doing things with my heart.”

Monk’s musical sabbatical ended there. He picked up his guitar and hasn’t looked back.
“It feels good, feels right. I have more passion and excitement than I’ve ever had.”

Monk had survived and thrived through the music industry grind for more than a decade. Success came through a pair of Nashville record label deals and Top 5 hits. He recorded Dancing with the Angels in 2005 and The Twenty-First Time in 2008 as half of the Monk and Neagle duo.

The records drew industry acclaim.

"I've worked on a lot of great records," said Ed Cash, Gospel Music's 5 time Producer of the Year, "and the special ones you can usually identify. From the beginning, the songs to me on this record are simply at another level... It's been amazing, watching these guys bring them to life."
But a few years later, Monk says he was dried up and burned out. He walked away.
“I’ve always said that I would give it up and go in a different direction if God wanted me to. I guess I had to get to that place and really prove it before I could be used by God.”

A re-energized Monk is enjoying life as a solo artist. He’s touring and has a brand new record coming out Fall of 2011 He describes the music as “soulful acoustic pop with a message.”

And what is the message?

“This record has a theme throughout it,” he said. “Not that every song sounds the same but I think it’s about allowing God to steer you in the right direction from an unpleasant place to a place of peace where you are supposed to be.”

All words spoken by an artist whose music has a mission larger than entrees and appetizers. “I would love for people’s lives to change in some way and to be encouraged,” he said. “What I’ve walked through in my life and the way that God has used those things, I feel like people can relate with their own stories and let God do something in their lives.”

I need your help....

Hey everyone!  I wanted to let you know about a website I discovered recently called kickstarter.com. Kickstarter is a great platform for artists to launch campaigns in order to raise money for projects.  My project is a new record.  Labels spend well over $150,000 on the production of records.  I am doing one for a fraction of that cost.  The money will go toward studio costs, musicians, mixing, mastering, artwork, and duplication.  It adds up really fast!  But, I believe this record will be the best it can be and, with your help, my music will be heard and my heart will be shared...

Here's how it works:
I will set a fundraising goal through Kickstarter that, when raised, will be used to fund my project.   There are various goods and services given to those who donate.  Once I launch my campaign, you will see what the "perks" are. They start small and increase with the amount donated.  Those who donate are not charged until the project reaches it's deadline and is fully funded.  BUT, there's a catch.  I have to be 100% funded in order for it to work.  In other words, if I am just $5 short of my goal, I get NOTHING and you are not charged.  I've been able to get two songs recorded so far, and now I'm asking you to help me get this record finished!  I'll be letting you know as soon as I have a launch date for my campaign.  I have the greatest fans in the world and I know you guys will come through for me.

Be Blessed.
Trent
