about

The Emerald is an ancient symbol of compassion, love, healing, and wisdom. Those who leave this earthly existence live on through our memories, their legacies, and the things they leave behind. This is a song for everyone living in the material world. I hope you enjoy it.

lyrics

It is a lovely day
So let me wipe your tears away
There are no monsters in your room
The blood will dry
And heal soon

I've got a piece of emerald glass
It's magic from my dad
And I'll give it to you
It keeps the wolves at bay
It's the torch that lights the way
And leads me home to you
I was only ten when my dad got sick again
My mother's sky was always grey
After he passed away

I've got a piece of emerald glass
It's magic from my dad
And I'll give it to you
It keeps the wolves at bay
It's the torch that lights the way
And leads me home to you

It is a lovely day
So let me wipe your tears away
Your family's in the waiting room
They're beautiful
I'm proud of you

I've got a piece of emerald glass
It's magic from my dad
And I'll give it to you
It keeps the wolves at bay
It's the torch that lights the way
And leads me home to you

I’ve lived a life of no regrets
Memories I won’t forget
I’ve shared it all with you
It is a lovely day
So let me wipe your tears away
