Song information
Several months ago I came up with this chord progression and melody while
warming up to play something else entirely!

I used my old camera to film myself playing it and humming the melody so I wouldn't forget it.

It's a good thing I did, because I was soon busy all the time helping my
youngest son with his job.

I had little to no time at all for months to record anything new
until recently, when things started to slow down. (That's the main reason I've been posting
so many remasters of older songs.)

Anyway, this song is kind of a folk-pop inspirational piece. It's quite different
from my usual fare, but occasionally I like to try new things.

Heartfelt thanks to my dear friend Joyce Dorrance for contributing those
powerful and angelic BGVs!

Hope some of you can enjoy this one. It was a hell of a lot of fun to record!

Be well all!

Lyrics
CANTICLE

I
This life we live,
this world we love...
it's no accident.
---A gift from above!
Give thanks for it.
Don't squander it.
Make the choice to live each day 
for truth and love!

II
In every heart,
the ancient dark,
struggles for mastery
and veils our sense of right...
Never despair.
Call! 
Heaven will hear,
---provide the grace you need
to overcome your plight.

III
When life seems much like 
a ship lost in thick fog, it's 
hard to tell the night from day...
The saints of old
have trod this path before you.
Wisdom heeds
the things they did and said!
-------
There's a Lighthouse
in the distance, beaming brightly
pointing out to all the way!

IV
Truth is revealed.
It's not concealed.
The riches that we seek
are hidden in plain sight.
A wealth of grace,
vaster than space,
is available 
for all who love the Light!

Wow. I love this song. I love the folky style. The percussion works really well. And the two voices works so well. Smash hit!

Michael, this resonates with me. Good lyrics and melodic threads. It is reminiscent of the Moody Blues. Good ups!

Thanks Kenneth. After lying around for months in the idea stage this came together rather rapidly once I nailed the main percussion track. Getting Joyce on board was the coup de grace!

I often run out of words to express my respect for your talent, Mike. I guess that in itself, is something. Again, I am honored that you would ask me in on your projects. Thanks also to those that grab a listen to another of Mike's greatest hits
