I wrote this short song on the day my Mum passed away, to be played at her memorial
and I wanted to share it with you. I didn't realize her spirit
would be so present during our whole trip to Australia after she died. Amazing stuff. - Love, Rick
Four Billion Heartbeats:
I'm a little kid lost, alone and confused
My Mummy died
My Mummy died
I woke in the night to the terrible news
Mummy you died, I'm broken inside
Thought I was made of stronger stuff
Believed I could weather a storm this rough
Four billion heartbeats still weren't enough
And, Mummy you died
Mummy you died
I know that you're free, you're all light
You walk hand in hand with my father again, tonight
