about

This is a tribute to my Mom, Mary Lou Zuege, who passed away in February 2023 after a brief, unforseen illness.
She was a woman of great spirit, with an unending work ethic for the disadvantaged and deep love for her community.
She loved to whistle, so I couldn't do it without a whistle. She and our Dad grew up on Elvis, Buddy Holly, and Johnny Cash, so I wanted a bit of that country gospel feel.
I wrote this in January and amongst the chaos of the last month, wasn't able to play it for her before she passed, but I'm glad I was able to bring it to life and share it with the world, in her memory.

lyrics

I’m building that rhythm
I’m building that bridge
In my neighborhood and the places I live
I’m walking in the light

Give me a day of joy
Give me the deep sacred night
Give me the peace of God
And the power to fight
I’m walking in the light

Take me by the hand, take me by the hand
Take me by the hand to that promised land
We’re walking in the light

People of the world
People of the world
All your shining faces
Gonna get what you deserve
We’re walking in the light

I’m building that rhythm
I’m building that bridge
In my neighborhood and the places I live
I’m walking in the light

I know my savior's gonna save my soul
But it don't mean nothing if I get there alone
Ain't no time for talking, you just gotta keep walking
Walking in the light
