“Raise Him Up”
My oldest daughter was lying in a coma at Vanderbilt Hospital when a good friend and co writer of mine arrived and handed me a sketch of a song we had started. I told him that it was not a good time for me to think about working, but he insisted I take this piece of paper. I remember absentmindedly shoving the paper into my back pocket and muttering something like, “see ya”.

A few days later I found that typewritten sheet and glanced over it. It didn’t take me long to see why he had insisted I look it over. When my daughter completely recovered I got back together with my friend and finished “Raise Him Up”.
