Hey Vibes Community, I, @Verbal-D, just want to continue to express my gratitude for all of the love and support you guys show day in and night out.
It has been a true pleasure and honor to be able to collaborate with @EdenMichelle. I have a high respect and appreciation for her amazing production skills, her vast artistry skill levels, her soulful and hearttouching singing, layered creativity and harmonizing, and also her deep, thoughtful lyrics. She was a breeze to work with, we got this song done in no time and it felt so natural.
Let this collaboration be the first of many to be able to showcase the beautiful projects within the music realm that the Vibes Web3 Music Competition makes possible with all of us connecting with one another internationally.
Many people may make music just for fun, or for other gains and reasons, but for others, it is understood worldwide, the power and impact that music has. It literally can save lives and I am so happy the way this track turned out. Songs like these are the reason why I am always openminded when it comes to collaborating with other artists. It is an opportunity to also grow and also inspire one another. Please enjoy the video and presentation.

Over the past couple weeks, @Verbal-D and I have been working on something super special and I’m really excited and honoured to be part of Vibes Week 11 with this beautiful entry.
After both our Vibes wins, before he became a judge, we started talking about working on a collaboration together and so the journey began.
@Verbal-D originally sent me the lyrics to this song with a beat he had made and what I felt like was a very catchy chorus. I wanted to bring my production into it and so I built a beat that I felt reflected the beauty of what he had written. I slowly started adding more elements, eventually writing my verse and then adding all the harmonies, final sprinkles and glitter to the mix. How cool that we also live in a world where we can share ideas and collab in two different countries, not even having met and have had made a song together?
I feel the lyrics speak beautifully on the journey of a Christian, the struggles of consistent and unwaivering faith, the judgement from the world, the doubt in our minds that others sometimes instill in us but ultimately and most importantly, the unconditional love that God offers to us as broken individuals.
I think it’s also amazing to be putting this out finally the week after Bobby Dones @bobbydones & @sekani won in week 10 as a collab/duo showing how we all collaborate as a community and that’s literally what this is all about. Making music, sharing music, incorporating different sounds and talents into different pieces of art.
Once again a big thank you to @deimus for his help in creating this video.

Intro Chorus:
Every time I wake up out of my sleep
I begin to think of heavenly dreams
Salvation goals, places of gold
God's within me, Christ's saving my soul
@Verbal-D
Verse 1:
I never thought that I would be who I am today
Making a difference, oh no, no
Before in the past
I would’ve dashed into the darkest of nights
Now it’s so different, oh oh, whoa ohhhhh
It’s truly amazing what one will discover
When given the time to look under their flaws, doubtfulness
There’s so much to learn…
Unlocking Potential that you always had
Leaving no room for mistakes in the past
Count those less…
And keep on moving forward...
@Verbal-D
Chorus:
Every time I wake up out of my sleep
I begin to think of heavenly dreams
Salvation goals, places of gold
God's within me, Christ's saving my soul (x2)
@EdenMichelle
Verse 2:
Who woulda thought that I'd be where I am today?
Spreading a message
Telling of Your Love...
Threw my fears aside
Let You be my guide
Through the darkest of nights...
Now everything's different
And God, You're the difference...
@Verbal-D & @EdenMichelle
Chorus:
Every time I wake up out of my sleep
I begin to think of heavenly dreams
Salvation goals, places of gold
God's within me, Christ's saving my soul (x2)
@Verbal-D
Outro Verse 3:
Can’t even imagine
If I took another path
And I didn’t have the Past that I did...
Can’t even imagine
If I couldn’t face my fears
The pressure from my peers and I hid...
Can’t even imagine
If I forgot who I was, in Whose image I’m made in
Why God’s so amazing…His love…
Can’t replace Him, put nothing above…
@Verbal-D & @EdenMichelle
Chorus:
Every time I wake up out of my sleep
I begin to think of heavenly dreams
Salvation goals, places of gold
God's within me, Christ's saving my soul (x4)
