      Finding out that Yebba along with my mother passing not too far apart from each other. It is a uniquely painful experience that when shared when an artist who is so talented: it becomes so very cathartic. God bless every one here
      Thank you Yebba for exposing me to a whole new world of music
      Much love everyone 🙌🏽💜🤍

She could have easily just leaned on her vocal chops as an artist and it would have been great. ....but here she is blessing the world with deeply meaningful lyrics, intentional and adventurous musical composition, thoughtful melodies......oh and sick chops.

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    How many years will it take for these tears to dry?
    Oh, my Lord please don't pass me by
    Where can I run when my running is out of time?
    [Chorus]
    These are the moments that I'm with you
    Under the pressure I'll see it through
    Live out the wonder way past the borderline
    Adventure as far as the eye can see
    I'll try not to miss you too desperately
    Live out the wonder way past the borderline
    [Verse 2]
    It comes and it goеs but it's always in control of me
    How the hell on еarth can I set me free?
    Where can I run when the ground moves beneath my feet?
    [Chorus]
    These are the moments that I'm with you
    Under the pressure I see it through
    Live out the wonder way past the borderline
    Adventure as far as the eye can see
    I'll try not to miss you too desperately
    Live out the wonder way past the borderline,
    the borderline
