This song is dedicated to my grandmother, who passed away four years ago on this date.
She was the matriarch; she was the one who held everyone and everything together. I've never lost someone who was this close to me, and the songs on the album reflect some of the different ways I’ve dealt with this loss.
Without the storm, it would be impossible to truly appreciate a sunny day… unfortunately, sometimes you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Rather than regret her departure, however, I am simply grateful that someone this special was such an important part of my life.
The things that we do for ourselves die with us, but the things that we do for others live on. She did so much for everyone that she met, that although her physical form is no longer here, her energy lives on in all of us. Death is a natural part of life – and now it is up to the rest of us to fill the void that she left.

Older man he comes, Along the open road
Times they may be changin' still his pace it never slows
No food to hold him over, he carries all he owns,
This guitar his father gave him, it's the only work he knows
He sings his songs of hardships, he has had to fight
His songs teach us of patience, and keeps our spirit's high
So when the poisons try to take you, never let their sickness break you
Keep the faith if just to make it through the day
Through the depths of all their stressins', hold your ground but search for lessons,
Keep the faith if just to make it through the day, keep the faith
She's been like a muse for my music, it moves it, in tune with these frequencies, we've been experiencing along our travels
still passing through the perills, yeah i know i've got my devils but i've finally learned to level,
now i'm caught in her net, hooked again out of the water, treat her the same, as i watched my father treat my mother, i'm done playing games, i've got the strength to admit it, and just like common, i've got the sense to stay commited, no gimmicks, these lyrics, reflect the part of me that i would go to any galaxy to see you see the reason i believe is all about security, and wantin' to change, i heard her sing a song i knew i'd never be the same
and everybody's got their tribulations, and it's in those situations we survive through conversation, so i continue staying true, never leave her feelin' shameful, lost in her essence as I strive to be faithful.
Keep patience, patience never let go of hope, pull your mind past all negative outcomes,
Patience, patience, never let go of hope, pull on past your distractions
because life is a balance, beneath these reactions, faith is the way i manipulate my actions, maintain prepared stay aware of surprise, when it's a question of strength and not a question of size
and i've stood the tests and weather the storms, and i've seen the oppressed fight their way to reform, keep the past to my back, plan attacks to move forward, keeping faith alive alive alive alive alive alive...
