about

A dedication to a life lost way to soon, And the place he always called home. We miss you John Phillips, you may not always be in our arms but you will forever live in our hearts

lyrics

Grandmother I can see you there
Standing on the banks of that old creek
A place I use to roam as a child
My heart never felt so free and wild
Grandfather can you hear that sound
Of the whippoorwill calling from the pines
Does it take you to a place in your mind
A place that is so hard to find

I always knew I'd make this place my home
The only place my heart has ever known
And I'd find my rest somewhere among these hills
But as time goes on our hearts stand still
Our hearts stand still

We were going to break ground in the spring
On that sacred piece of land that meant so much to me
A place that my boys could call there own
But now my name is itched in stone

I always knew I'd make this place my home
The only place my heart has ever known
And I'd find my rest somewhere among these hills
But as time goes on our hearts stand still
Our hearts stand still

Mother can you feel me in the breeze
When the autumn winds are blowing through the trees
And the leaves are dancing on the ground
Don't you know I'll always be around

It's been a hard fought battle to produce such a sound, but after years of comparing myself to others and never feeling good enough, I have discovered that if you want to follow your dreams, you have to be your on yardstick. ... more
