Lyrics by: Jakob Ward

Bbm Dm Am

There’s only one way to say
I’m sorry baby
I never did stray

But I did lose my grip
While on a weakened trip
But I’ve learned and I don’t want the blame

Dm F/C Gm C7

Forgive me, I’m sorry
If you could just find the time
To leave that mistake behind
I’ll be your everything
Just like I promised I would

Hear my words
Straight from my heart
I’m changing right now
To make us complete

I’ve wronged you before
It won’t happen again
The shame is too great
Can’t even say my own name

Dm F/C Gm C7

Forgive me, I’m sorry
If you could just find the time
To leave that mistake behind
I’ll be your everything
Just like I promised I would

So this is my place
And I’m down on my knees
Wont you give me another chance
To prove myself

I’m empty inside
And in spite of my pride
I give my future
To you

Rest your head and stay a while
Weary beauty from many a mile

Turned this house into a home
Restless traveler soon is gone

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home to you

Love is a walk and we walk the land
Walking on water leaving footprints in sand

Blessed and a blessing so what can I do
write a song, fall in love with you

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home to you

This is my first actual blog entry ( the other 85 were ideas I'm converting into blog entries ) and I'm excited to let it be about...gardening. Ha! For those of you that know me, you're like...wha?! But, it's true. Enough filler, let's get growing...

I have a 4 tier greenhouse from ALDI and one small light, but I'm going to need some additional supplies. Here's what I have on the get list:

• soil - 
• mister - to keep soil damp and maintain humidity
• planters - strategically sized to maximize roots and provide drainage
• safety base ( to protect my solarium carpet )

Here's what I'm going to grow:

• basil
• thyme
• mint
• tomatoes
• rosemary
• cilantro

I've been doing some research and I will update and organize the information as I make progress.

Sample: US-MX2-11-10300

[ US ] :: COUNTRY
[ MX2 ] :: LABEL CODE
[ 11 ] :: YEAR
[ 1 ] :: RELEASE CODE
    [ 1 = ALBUM, 2 = SINGLE, 3=COMPILATION ]
[ 03 ] :: ALBUM RELEASE SEQUENTIAL
[ 00 ] :: SONG RELEASE SEQUENTIAL

FRONTLINE MILITIA: US-MX2-14-10400

Lyrics by: Jakob Ward

Beat on lock.
I’m feeling you baby.
Let’s take a trip.
Then just maybe…

We’ll keep going,
never stop.
I’ll do what it takes
to keep you on top.

I like the way you talk to me,
feeling grand and being free.
You clear my mind through zones of time,
Fire it up, we’ll make it shine.

You amaze me, them little things.
All the quirky details that you bring.
Working a song that makes love birds sing,
so lets’s get high and spread our wings.

Jet is ready, I’m ready to go,
Waiting for you now to start this show.
Late night message on the telephone
hit me up when you’re on your own.

So many avenues we will explore,
All we gotta do is walk out that door.
Get your passport ready if you want more,
we’re gonna go places you ain’t been before.

You amaze me, them little things.
All the quirky details that you bring.
Working a song that makes love birds sing,
so lets’s get high and spread our wings.
