This one came to Lech after the passing of our friend and singer Mike Ledbetter. It was hard to believe we’d never sing together again. Mike was from Chicago so it felt right to do a little Curtis Mayfield-inspired Chicago soul-type thing in his memory.
lyrics
I got joy, joy in my heart to sing
I got a song from the air beneath an angel's wings
Chorus :
I got a love, I got a light, shines my way through the night
and everything’s gonna be alright
I got a feeling stealin from my head to my toes
I got a burning way down within my soul
It’s true nobody really knows just what tomorrow brings
But you can make it better no matter the weather if you got a good song to sing.
In life you know we come and go with some already gone on.
So I’m gonna sing this melody just to keep your light shining on and on
