Fears are wolves without their teeth

Our campaign to raise funds to record our next record was only partly successful, depending on how you define success. Monetarily speaking, we did not reach our goal of $10k. In fact, we only raised just over $1k. This may seem like a major setback in our goal to record a full-length album to donate to Courage to Be You, and it kind of is, but we're choosing to remain optimistic.

With the money that has been donated towards this cause we'll be heading in to the studio to record the album's title track "Wolves Without Teeth." This song captures the overall message of the album, which rallies people to stay hopeful in the face of discouraging circumstances. Oh, how appropriate.

To all of you who have been supporting us in our efforts to fight human-trafficking with music, thank you. Here's a sneak peak of the lyrics to "Wolves Without Teeth."


Stormy clouds form overhead
Rain will fall without regret
And your cold feet might get wet
Don't hide inside your home

You gaze out from the window pane
a sigh to greet the howling wind
unlock the door that keeps you in
go soar above the world

You may fall, but you just as well may fly
The greater loss is to never even try
The life you seek is on the other side
Take the leap and come with me tonight.  

The choice is clear go make it now
Dry your tears and leave the ground 
Breaking free takes everything 
But see what freedom brings 

You may fall, but you just as well may fly
The greater loss is to never even try
The life you seek is on the other side
Take the leap and…straight to bridge... 

Dare to sail the wilder seas,
Scale the ridge above the trees,
Take the fake from make-believe,
Fears are wolves without their teeth.
