Title

Never Gone

Artist Statement

The video is focused on the transparency of my life dealing with pain and anxiety. In 2018 I lost my only sister to a tragic car accident. The tragedy took me to a dark place of depression that I was recently healed from. The video is a reflection of the transition from a dark place to back to God.
I pray that this video reaches everyone that God intended it to reach.

How it fits into contest

During my transition I had to put on the full armor of God and take a stand. Depression is a deep place that only God and professional help can pull it's victims out. Prayer and the shield of faith is essential for healing to take place.

Credits

Verse 1
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna die no more
I just wanna stay at home
I just wanna love again
Tell me why I'm sinning
Tell them demons leave me along
Tell them demons leave me along
I just wanna stay at home
Chasing my dream

Running to the front door
