Songs for the Saints, comes out on July 27th.
Kenny says about the song:
Of all the songs on #SONGSFORTHESAINTS, #BetterBoat really captures the emotion behind the events that took place in the islands after hurricanes Irma and Maria… and the months following. There’s an acceptance it takes to face those challenges and that uncertainty… the lyric has that line, ‘I ride the waves I can’t control…’ And that’s exactly how this was, and in some ways, still is. #BetterBoat is out this Friday.

Beautifully written...
I ain't lonely, but I spend a lot of time alone
More than I'd like to, but I'm okay with staying home
By how the last few months have changed
I smile of mourn despite the pain
I breathe in, I breathe out
Got friends to call who let me talk about
What ain't working, what's still hurtin'
All the things I feel like cussing out
Now and then I let it go
Around the waves I can't control
I'm learning how to build a better boat
