From the recording The 3Ms
Rootsy Americana song written with Michelle Leverette. She crafted some beautiful lyrics to a song that originally came to me in a dream. I had the music and the first line, "Take my daddy's hand", and she did the rest! Produced by the very talented Scott Free, featuring Michelle Leverette on lead vocals, with special guest Stephen Eckstrom on harp.

Times are hard & getting tough
People all around are rough
When I need peace,
I take my daddy's hand
All my debts are coming due
I’ll have hope until I'm through
And hang on as I take my daddy's hand
My daddy's hand fights against the wind
Wrestles luck and always wins
Shoos away my fears on gloomy nights
His hands hold me, keep me warm
Even through the raging storm
I just have to take my daddy's hand
My heart was crushed and on the floor
As he headed out the door
Now I need to find my daddy's hand
This house will never be the same
And no telling who's to blame
But everything is fine in daddy's hand
Chorus
