Most people are incurably religious and particularly in hard times where there is no other resource than to pray to our creator. Mulling on this, I was drawn to thinking about the greatest savior of all who always pulls on the right strings to calm our anxieties. My immediate thoughts were of the “Fidler in the Sky” and wrote and recorded a song in his honor.
Fidler in The Sky
WHICH WAY DOES OUR JOURNEY BEND
WE’D LIKE TO KNOW BEFORE THE END
WHO HAS MADE US GOOD AND TRUE
THE LOVE WE LIVED THE DREAMS WE KNEW
IF WE LIVED LIFE ONCE AGAIN
WHAT ARE THE THINGS WE’D TRY AND MEND
I’M FORTUNATE I CAN REALLY SAY
WON’T CHANGE MY FAMILY A SINGLE DAY
47 STUCK WITH ME THROUGH THE YEARS
ALL KINDS OF SWEAT AND MANY TEARS
IN THE FUTURE JOURNEY TO BE
CONTINUE: LIFE IN HARMONY
I’LL BE KNEELING, APPEALING YIELDING
SEASONS WILL NEVER RUN DRY
TIME IS CHEATING WHILE WE’RE WAITING
FOR THE FIDDLER UP ON THE SKY
SO KEEP ON YIELDING AND APPEALING
TO THE FIDDLER UP ON HIGH
HE’LL BE WAITING AND RECEIVING
COUNTRY FOLKS LIKE YOU ANDI
FIM: COUNTRY FOLKS LIKE YOU AND I
