Story behind the song
I wrote this song for a loved one who recently passed on.
Lyrics
["And friends today we honor a particularly beautiful soul - a shining soul"]
Tell me something I didn't know
I lost my faith long ago
I'm a child of the daylight
But the sun is sinking low
I can only push the window
Open to my very soul
When the stars are in alignment
But the wind blows in so cold
And I don't know, I just don't know
But you always made things better
I guess that was your role
So I send you my thank you letter
and I address it to your soul
I've been running every morning
Just so I can catch my breath
And I meditate on Moses
Yeah, I feel it's life or death
You can only feel the weather
When you drag yourself outside
Will the full moon bring me answers
Or does it just bring in the tide?
Well, I don't know, I just don't know
But you always made things better
Well I guess that was your role
So I send you my thank you letter
And I address it to your soul
["Dear God, merciful Father of us all, your children, bowed in grief, seek light to dispel the darkness which threatens to overwhelm us"]
I believe what I see
I believe what I see
But you always made things better
Well I guess that was your role
So I send you my thank you letter
And I address it to your soul
Yeah, I address it to your soul
["And I think that she did what she came here to do, she took care of all of us."]
