On the last day of June, 2011 Lance decided to invite some of his musical friends to co-write songs with him as he ventured into his first solo album. An act of faith only knowing their work, never working with them before creating music. In just two months, those involved had created an epic masterpiece, quite a feat indeed based on the quality of this release.
In under three months, A MOMENT IN CHIROS was mixed and mastered and off to the presses, perhaps the fasted created music in history? This album was meant to be out by 11/11/11 and is destined to stand the test of time.
The album's concept is based on the 11:11 time prompt phenomena happening to over 75 million people around the world, Lance is one of these people, and has dived in deep to find more about what it’s all about. This album is one man's journey as a seeker of truth looking for answers to the world's greatest mysteries.
Lance has chosen "Human Trafficking" (sex slavery), one of the fastest growing criminal activities worldwide as the charitable cause he would like to champion, profits from this album will go to efforts to abolish this slave trade worldwide through an organization called "NOT FOR SALE"!

AWAKENING
Lance King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm hearing a voice at the door.
I've always believed there's more,
I feel an awakening.
How can this be?
He was much too full of life
to pass on, so why now?
says "There's Grandpa", a raised eyebrow.
She can't bear the thought of losing him.
A feeling of loss comes over her,
tears start falling.
A man that's always been there like a rock,
now gone, the door is closed and locked.
She is stalling...
Beginning to see there's more,
I'm hearing a voice at the door.
I've always believed there's more,
I feel an awakening.
(I feel an awakening...)
A week later, some unusual events unfold
around our home.
Sound of water, the lights a flicker,
a message somehow through the veil.
She feels his presence every single day,
unable to shake sadness away,
oh so lonely...
Finally she reaches out in heart
to pull her and her pain far apart,
breaking boundaries...
Beginning to see there's more,
I'm hearing a voice at the door.
I've always believed there's more,
I feel an awakening.
(I feel an awakening...)
A cascade of love to ease her pain,
a husband is struggling to attain
a link with her loved one.
Seeking a discussion deep within
and simply cutting through dark and din
in transmission...
Beginning to see there's more,
I'm hearing a voice at the door.
I've always believed there's more,
I feel an awakening.
In Lance King's song "Awakening," the singer is experiencing a revelation that there is more beyond their current understanding, as they hear a voice at the door and feel an awakening. The lyrics then shift to focus on a man who has passed away, leaving behind his grieving granddaughter who cannot bear the thought of losing him. She feels his presence every day and is unable to shake the sadness away. However, with the help of her husband, she is able to connect with her loved one and find peace, breaking through the boundaries of grief.
The song explores themes of spiritual awakening, grief, and the power of love and connection to overcome loss. The idea of there being more beyond our current understanding is a common one in many spiritual and philosophical traditions, and the song suggests that by being open to this possibility, we can find comfort and peace even in the face of death.
