The first thing that hit me: the LYRICS. Deej, you are a poet and a half, to say the least. Please take it as the compliment it's meant to be when I say this: I didn't know you had this in you, too :-) . I feel like I've been chopping onions.

"All the shadows that can fall upon our doors
May he never feel their touch
May he never know the fear of real despair
When the darkness seems too much"

Just four lines, above, of such a beautiful prayer. What a prayer.

The song is beautiful, Deej sings it enough to rend anyone's heart in two in the way he sings it ... the music feels here like the perfect foil for the lyrics ... it just carries and carries and carries them. I have to be honest: yes, superb music, superb singing, but ... the message is what carries it to the final level, that where it makes anyone shake on the inside. The music serves to highlight the prayer and what is being prayed for - which I'm sure is the intention here anyway. So: mission accomplished!!! Sincerest congratulations.
