From the recording All The Lights Of Heaven

I wrote this song in 2005 as I was awaiting an MRI to see if a cancerous tumor I had removed in 2004 was still gone. I was anxious, of course, and reading the book "A Course in Miracles" put me at ease. I wrote the song the day of the annual MRI based on the peace I felt from reading the book and the ideas expressed in the book. Thank goodness the results were negative and I am still cancer free. I had the best doctor operating on me in 2004. Blessings to Doctor Ivan Zamora. He saved my life.

I wrote this song on my piano and the song changes key twice which surprised the acoustic guitarist who lent his talents to the recording. It raises a half step twice yet it doesn't sound like it changes key at all when you listen to it. I think the song wanted to ascend the steps to the stars. When a song speaks to you and tells you what it wants, it is a songwriter's job to listen.

Lyrics

You shine with all the lights of heaven
Divine with all the lights of heaven
And you bring my thoughts to reason
And you help me find the meaning
No there's nothing left to hide
'Cause in peace we will abide
You're alive

You shine with all the lights of heaven
Combine with all the lights of heaven
And your radiance has reached me
And your eloquence besieged me
No you'e not just passing by
'Cause there's no such thing as time
I'm alive

You shine with all the lights of heaven
Divine with all the lights of heaven
We are gifts unto each other
Whether friend or foe or lover
Let us learn more about life
And where love and truth reside
We're alive
