Story Behind The Song

A fellow firefighter friend of mine was going through a hard time and didn't tell anyone about it. When I found out I wrote this song for him.

Song Description

A song to a despondent friend for the purpose of letting them know that they are not alone, ever.

Lyrics

Hey There Anthony
Words and Music by James Horning

Hey there Anthony, how?ve you been
Looks like you?re kinda near your end
Are you so lonely, Tell me, are you so sad
Is it really so dark there in your mind, is it so bad

Well hey there Anthony what went wrong
Did you just get tired of singing that song
Do you really think you haven?t got a chance at all
Do you feel so tiny, insignificant and small

chorus
Well hey, hey
Can you see me here you?re not really alone
Are you listening
It?s not so hard to go and pick up the phone
I will be here

Hey there Anthony I know it looks bleak
But you know to find you still gotta seak
I know life?s tough, I know life?s hard, I know it sad sometimes and
I know it feels like your going against the greater tide

chorus
But hey, hey
Even though it looks dark, even though it looks blue
I know what you can do
Let me hold you up let me give you a hand
I will always understand

bridge
I believe God sends an angel to fly upon the face of danger
To stop the driving wind and give you hope again


Well hey there Anthony listen real close
I know it?s not the path that you chose
But you gotta pull yourself up, you gotta stand real tall
People they?re gonna talk, they always talk but after all
I will be here

Hey there Anthony lay down your head
Take a rest and listen to what I?ve said
I will not leave you, I will be your friend
I will be your brother count on me until the end
I will be here

Hey there Anthony, how've you been?
