Story Behind The Song
One day I was at a swimming hole out near Rockerville in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The place is called Hippie Hole and has a 20 foot waterfall you jump off the top of. Usually, there was a rope to help you climb back up. One day the rope was missing. I climbed up the rocks back to the top of the waterfall once. The second time I was climbin up, I got a little scared. I started thinking of my beautiful, 2 year old son back home. I thought about what would happen to him, if something happened to me.

Lyrics
Whenever I feel the threat of danger
I think about you
Whenever I see a mysterious stranger
I think about you
When I feel my life is just beginning
I think about you
Whenever I think I might be winning
I think about, I think about, I think about you
When I see some birds out singing and flying
I think about you
Whenever I hear a baby crying
I think about you
When I see the sun all bright and shining
I think about you
Whenever I need a silver lining
I think about, I think about, I think about you
You're my peaceful waters
You're my breath of Spring
You're the place
I can lay me down and dream
