Story Behind The Song
This is the latest song I have been privileged to collaborate with the incomparable talents of Cyndi Corkran. Listening to the song, you will realize the nature of the lyrical content, all more poignant by the fact it is co-written and recorded by two artists on different continents, but both living with the effects of a global pandemic.

Lyrics
Oh, I fell into a place
Nothing but dark walls
No one to hear me
And no one to call
My own small voice
Sounded frightened
Of this view
Who knew this world
Could be so hard
A silent death among us sparing so few
As the days marched onward
Many souls are lost
A fighting battle
Of inevitable cost, inevitable cost
When it's all over
Life will resume
The enemy no more
At our door
Your outstretched hand
Led me away
From the darkness within
Finding its way
Into my heart again
You stayed by my side
Your care, a God send
Angles around me
At every bend
I could not see your face
Your armor distracting
But you lifted me up
With your compassion
Your saving Grace
A calling from God
Brought me salvation
Raising me up from the valley
From which I trod, from which I trod
When it's all over
We will smile once more
We'll live our lives upon the shores
Of happiness,
When it's all over
(Instrumental Break)
Your saving Grace
A calling from God
Brought me salvation
Raising me up from the valley
From which I trod, from which I trod
We will remember
All those we lost
And tell the generations
The terrible cost
When it's all over
A new day dawning
A new beginning
Our lives returning
When it's all over
We will smile once more
We'll live our lives upon the shores
Of happiness,
When it's all over
