I was inspired to write the song JAK when I met this young boy who lived for the beauty and wonders of this world. It made me realize how beautiful life can be when you allow your mind to notice it.

lyrics

I met a boy named Jak
He was part of the Kolb Pack
Being just a kid
He brought me years back

When I was a boy
And the world looked so magical
Life and all of its wonders
Well that made me wonder

Where did it go
My curiosity
My life's simplicity
Living day by day

Where did it go
My genuine way to be
My good old memories
They seem so far away from me

I want to play the guitar
I want to know about the brightest star
Can I go out to the park
Im not afraid of the dark

Id like to move like Michael
Or maybe learn how to juggle
Knowing all about the mystery
Of the Sea anemone

Where did it go
My curiosity
My life's simplicity
Living day by day

Where did it go
My genuine way to be
My good old memories
They seem so far away from me

The day came when I worried for the first time
My limitless horizons narrowed down to none
But when I think about it
I know somewhere deep inside there is a way

Well thanks to Jak
My curiosity
My life simplicity
Is coming day by day

Well thanks to Jak
My genuine way to be
My good old memories
There finally coming back to me
