about

I invited some of my singer and musician friends into the studio to create a choir for "Cover Me" as it has a gospel feel and is a song of praise and hope for the light of love to come when you are in most need, when you are at your lowest, when you have nothing left or no where to turn.

It was at a time in my life when my father who had been diagnosed with Liver Cancer 2 years prior was failing and losing his battle with the disease. To have such a joyous recording come together with love and friendship gave me the light, gave me the love, lifted and sustained me during that horrible period.

I play it when ever things are getting me down and still feel the joyous love and warmth showered upon this wayward soul.

lyrics

There's a light, shining down
on you my friend
and in the darkest hour ,when all around
is fading to blue, it will light the dark
if you believe something good is gonna come to you
then you know it will
in every heart theres a flame that soon stars a fire
with the smallest spark

Wont you let the Light
Shine down on me
let it burn
so bright that I can not see

As I look out over the world and all it's troubles
i can get a sad as any man
But you've got to fight
to stop yourself from drowning
in that sea of pain and hate and disillusion
find your way
through the maze of the fakers and the deceivers
Find your way
into the hearts and the arms of the true believers

Wont you let the Light
Shine down on me
let it burn
so bright that I can not see
