Friendship & Love During the Hard Times

Survival is a long hard road. But I’ll be there beside you all the way . . . Every day.

Sometimes life brings us tragedy, sickness and loss. It is in these times that the best of us shines though. We all know and count on that special someone with endless compassion and love. They hold our hand. They lift our heart. And they see us though.

I wrote Every Day to capture the spirit of that unconditional love. Perhaps it reminds you of someone close to you. Someone you love.

Every Day is performed with simple instruments for an intimate and personal sound. You’ll hear fingers gently brushing the mandolin strings, one fist thumping on my chest like a heartbeat, and two hands tapping and scraping together to create the rhythm. Later the viola soars above it all accompanied by a peaceful section of violins.

Lyrics

days roll by
in the sun
fate steps in
and in one moment it’s all undone
you never see it coming

shakes your faith
takes your hair
breaks your heart
lays you bare
and you can’t believe
this is how it’s meant to be

(chorus)
staring down the devil
fighting through the pain
survival is a long hard road
but I’ll be there
beside you all the way
every day

take one step
then one more
step by step
fighting battles you’ve won before
and they just keep on coming

shakes your faith
when you’re weak
at your low
reach for me
take my hand and I won’t let go
you won’t have to be alone

(chorus)
staring down the devil
fighting through the pain
survival is a long hard road
but I’ll be there
beside you all the way
every day
