Sitting in my neighbors lawn 
Surrounded by howling trees
The big trees became our dads
The smaller ones became our moms
We convinced each other that we spoke
The language of the trees
I believed and you believed
And believing it just made it so

I need to believe
I am trying to believe
I want to believe

On a boulder in my yard
You’re telling me a story there
About a man that’s smaller than
A single blade of grass by far
You really seemed to know
All about this little man
I believed and you believed
And believing it just made it so

Standing in a walden’s books
We were a bit older now
There was one book we loved the most
Red and white and look look look
We wanted a new where’s waldo
You convinced me there was one
I believed and you believed
But believing it didn’t make it so 

Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 7+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
