I'm Feeling Good 03:19
lyrics

Bird singing sweet out my window Cat lying in patch of sun Coffee in bed with my honey All of the covers undone Come on day, bring it on Chorus Ooo, I’m feeling good Ooo, I’m feeling good I’m laughing out loud in the shower Water is hot on my skin Stepping outside to the morning Cool breezes hit, and I grin Come on breeze, bring it in Chorus Bridge Living this life to the fullest Making it up as I go Now that I know I am ageless I’m gonna put on a show Chorus Katydids sing in the nighttime Stars romancing the moon All is right in the heavens Breathing it in as I do Come on, moon, I’m with you Chorus

Don't Need the Lights On 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Our love can be an eclipse temporarily in the dark As long as we maintain the flame devotion burns in our hearts Even in shadows of doubt I can see your gleaming smile Your true passion shines through the radiance showing for miles CHORUS I don’t need the lights on to see the love in your eyes I can feel it, darling even on a moonless night Like the sun is to the sky You’re a sure thing in my life I don’t need the lights on to see your love tonight Even in my darkest dreams you illuminate my soul The blaze in your fingertips ignites a hunger I’ve never known There can be a sky full of clouds trying to cast shadows on us but when I’m lying in your arms I’m inside the brightness of us CHORUS

Leave A Mark 03:44
lyrics
buy track
His scheming kisses all the late night stitches made me feel so small Done with that Your touch lights me like a current gliding through me Yeah, you see and hear and feel me I want that Chorus Leave a mark on my heart Storm gone out Drink the rain Leave a mark I’m your art Paint me now without pain Leave a mark Leave a mark Leave a mark a beauty mark He said I was ugly that my body made him bloody Tried to crush my soul burn me down Your love holds me like a river as it flows me Yeah, you lift me up and know me I can’t drown Chorus Bridge He first hit me on my birthday Then every time, those stupid bouquets I threw him out with all the flowers Now I don’t have to hide and cower with you Chorus

Holy Ground 02:56
lyrics

I’m goin down I’m goin down I’m goin down to the Holy Ground I’m goin up I’m goin up I’m goin up to the Holy Cup Pre-Chorus I came here on a bet I was a cocky triple threat I wore a crown And when the bullets finally hit I had to find my holy grit I had a breakdown Chorus I’m gonna pack up all my troubles gonna head for the light I’m gonna fake it ‘til I make it and I’ll be alright I’m goin down, down, down, down, down to the Holy Ground I’m goin East I’m goin East I’m goin East ‘til I have been released I’m goin West I’m goin West I’m goin West ‘til I have been expressed Pre-Chorus I wear a cowboy holster set I am the lightning coalesced I am a clown I am a silly little girl I am creator of the world and I am starbound Chorus Bridge Earth’s not a location It’s a frequency I am made of air I am energy The Bible tells me so As above, so below Chorus

Ask Your Heart 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Tried so hard to make it work but it fell apart, you got hurt It’s hard to love again when you don’t know who to trust Wake up from that painful past You’ve been living in a kind of trance But its not then, it’s now, wake up give us a chance CHORUS Ask your heart I’m asking you Ask your heart what would it do Don’t ask your fear It won’t tell the truth Ask your heart ‘bout me and you I can’t give you a guarantee I might not have the kind of love you need but if we don’t take the risk, we’ll never find what we could be CHORUS

I Don't Hate That 02:41
lyrics
buy track
We’ve been crazy busy, baby working night and day Haven’t taken time together We just need a break You have a suggestion, maybe this is what we’ll do Clear out both our schedules Focus in on me and you Need to slow things down CHORUS I don’t hate that Take a step back Love when you laugh You’re my soundtrack What do I say? Sleep late, chill day You me, long nap I don’t hate that Like the way you’re thinking, we could turn off all the noise Go back to those lazy days we know we both enjoy Hang out with the birds and have a quiet barbeque Stare up at the stars see how the moonlight looks on you Need to slow things down CHORUS I don’t hate that Take a step back Love when you laugh You’re my soundtrack What do I say? Stay up real late You me, long chat I don’t hate that

Echo 03:25
lyrics

It's all an echo a manifesto the love between us a spinning genius Love is an echo (love is an echo) streaming A pulsing whisper a tiny shiver the ping between us can only free us Love is an echo (love is an echo) streaming Pre-Chorus Every echo makes it strong back and forth reveals the bond inside each other (inside each other) Can you feel your heart expand we design the Promised Land within us Chorus Reaching for Nirvana floating in the quantum I love you It goes on forever the echo of together You love me, too This love goes pulsing out from earth into the endless universe an Echo Inside the love There lives a Light Inside your heart a Second Sight Light is an echo (Light is an echo) healing There's only love That's all there is There's only us this moment here Love is an echo (Love is an echo) healing Pre-Chorus Chorus

You Are the Hero 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Every song is a story Every life is a journey Do you know the hero in yours? In a world full of danger many toils, fears, and anger Will the hate or the hero endure? Chorus You are the hero in a life full of villains who shatter your heart into shards You stand up and laugh even though you are bleeding Dear God, why is it so damn hard? You are the hero You are the hero I was lost in my story I believed in my history A hero was not in my mind Then one day there he kneeled by my side, and he healed me and he said, "You are good and you're kind" Chorus He said, "You are the hero in a life full of villains who only exist in your mind It's hard, oh it's rough You are never enough until you can see you've been blind, and you are the hero You are the hero" Bridge What is a hero but a warm helping hand and getting through life the best that we can? Chorus He said, "You are the hero for taking life on It's not for the faint-hearted kind It's hard, oh it's rough but you are always enough and for just this one moment in time believe you're the hero because you are the hero"

Dear Mama 03:11
lyrics

Dear Mama, I am writing you this letter from my heart Dear Mama, I cannot forget the way you finally had to depart I cannot forget the way I never said goodbye driving to Atlanta on the day you died crying, trying to make it there Dear Mama, I remember how you worried all the time Dear Mama, I remember your worst fear was that you'd lose your mind You forgot my birthday, then forgot my children's names forgot the smell of springtime morning when it rains no seasons and no reasons to really care Bridge Thank God it happened slowly and you barely knew that you'd forgotten me and you'd forgotten you and now that you're in heaven you know everything That’s what I believe and that’s why I sing Dear Mama, You remember now the children that you raised Dear Mama, You are sitting with the wondrous God you always praised You recall each tiny moment of the love we shared laughing round the table, everybody there Mama, Alleluia, dear Mama You recall each tiny moment of the love we shared laughing round the table, everybody there Mama, Alleluia, dear Mama For Mittie Morris McDearis, 1917 - 2016

The Current 03:04
lyrics
buy track
There’s a creek out in the country surrounded by the Georgia clay And that creek still runs right through me like a prayer inside my veins CHORUS A current runs through me from my family history and the mighty oak trees on this land Through my sister and my brother From my father and my mother The current tells me who I am There’s a church out in the country where I met Jesus the first time and that music still runs through me like a choir inside my mind CHORUS Bridge I can feel it, yeah, the heart just knows Like a current now the love still flows CHORUS

about

Carlene McDearis Wentworth image

Carlene McDearis Wentworth Greenville, South Carolina

From country to Broadway, and sometimes a little bit of both, Carlene's music is not so much a genre as it is an emotional provocation. No scratching of the surface here but an exploration of story, deeply held beliefs, and the human experience. Piano and vocal rich with light strains of blues and jazz weaving their way through most of her songs. It's open your heart music and oh yeah, your soul. ... more
