On My Mind
I first dreamed this song in 2004. This was before talent shows were well-known or popular. Yet, in the dream, I was unwillingly the participant in a televised talent show. At first I thought I was there to comfort and encourage a girl who was having an extreme attack of nervousness. But then, suddenly my name was called. In some dismay, I picked up my guitar and walked onto the stage where a worldly, uninterested crowd awaited me. The host was a sarcastic troll who began with making fun of me for appearing to be unprepared or surprised at being there. He suggested that I sing what was on my mind, since it was clearly distracting me from the irresistible lights and glitter of the moment. I sang this song and awoke to write it down.

I was born into this world facing trouble —And it caught me ‘fore I even knew my name
D E7 A D A E7
Guess I might have died, but you came into my mind —And I lived to smile again another

day. A D D A
On my mind when I’m dancing in the kitchen

On my mind when I’m weary on my feet
D E7 A D A E7 A
On my mind all the time, hallelujah! —And there’s nothing quite so sweet.
A D A E7 A
Rainy days are bringing me your rainbows —Mountains steep are teaching me your might
D E7 A D A E7 A
And weariness aside, I’m feeling so alive —Hallelujah, hallelujah, yeah, that’s right.

On my mind all the time, hallelujah! —And there’s nothing quite so

Well, it might be my journey’s almost over — It might be you knocking at my door
D E7 A D A E7 A
But even if I sleep, I can guarantee—I will dream about the One that I adore

On my mind, oh— oh— oh, yeah

On my mind, hmm— mmm— mmm — On my mind. . . hallelujah!

And there’s nothing quite so sweet.
