about

I wrote this song just after losing my father and the birth of my son. The two passed by each other in eternity. The first verse is written from my perspective. The second is from my father's perspective. And the third verse is me talking to my newborn son.

Grief is real, difficult and very painful. But it will strengthen you. And it will teach you to cherish what is truly significant in this life.

If you decide to donate money for this song, I will be sending it to:
www.gofundme.com/dr2ks2-las-vegas-victims-fund
to help with medical costs for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting on Oct 2, 2017.

lyrics

Be still my heart
When waves rage around me
Don't play the part of a man consumed by fear
Hands of iron are no match for the truth that can stick and catch

I'm out of touch
That's why I need for you to touch me
I'm not alone for I know that you're next to me
When it's time for you to let go when the hour comes for you to let you know

Release me now!
And don't let sadness find you
Release me son!
And I will rest in the arms of God

Why tears my child?
It's in tears that life will teach you
Just how to live and to love in this broken world

A world that hurts right beside her joy
A world where meek one day employ

Just still your heart
