Its All Gonna Be Okay

about

Sometimes we face trials that we don't understand... sometimes all we can is pray... and know that no matter the outcome. Life is a fragile gift.

I wrote this song for my mother's husband Dan who was having to watch his sister Becky slowly degenerate from Huntington's Disease. The same disease his father & grandmother died of.

About 5 years ago Dan was also diagnosed with Huntington's Disease.
I don't understand why there is sickness like this in the world... but what I do know is faith can carry us through the darkest of times. Dan teaches me that every day.

This track was written for and is dedicated to Daniel Rydlewski.

lyrics

You don't have to worry
You don't have to be afraid
Lift this load you carry
Its all gonna be okay

Its better than bad
but it sure ain't good
finding it hard to smile
when things don't go
the way we think they should

but I can offer more than I'm sorry
than the common phrase thats too bad
I can offer more than sympathy
leaving you to feel more sad

a prayer to the almighty God
whose promise is I hear your cry
you'll hold you in this time of trial
Wiping each tear from your eye

You don't have to worry
you don't have to be afraid
lift this load you carry
Its all gonna be okay....
