about

From making a conscious effort to write positive, in spite of the rough patch that was happening at the time, this song took shape. The question became, what style of music could I use as a foundation to support my story without it becoming maudlin? I've found as I've attempted to write a 'positive uplifting' number that it can easily turn to cheese. Enter Mississippi John Hurt whose influential music is a favorite of mine. His sound, so natural and melodic yet smooth and strong, is a comfort in the storm and proved to be the inspiration I needed. Here's hoping I've done it justice.

Verse
When you've lost the reason why
As hope disappears into an empty sky
When a cold, hard world comes a calling
Lean on me, I'll catch you if you're falling

Chorus
Love is a rising road
It's a choice that we make
Though sorrow takes a toll
On every living soul
It's love that carries the day
Love will carry the day

Verse
In time every storm will pass
Tears of sadness will not last
Together we'll see this through
You can count on me, I'll be there for you

Chorus

Verse
The dream I had while we slept
Still hasn't burned off yet
We were walkin' a cold, dark winter mile
When a warm mornin' sun rose in your smile

Chorus
Love is a rising road
It's a choice that we make
Though sorrow takes a toll
On every living soul
It's love that carries the day
Though sorrow takes a toll
On every living soul
It's love that carries the day
Love will carry the day

Ending
Love is a rising road
Love is a rising road
