The first song I wrote with Dean Sottile. A beautiful tribute to lyricist Robert Hunter. I knew there was music in those words. Lyrics by Dean Sottile; music by Larree Hollywood - all rights reserved

Ode to Robert Hunter Your pen has graced the pages of our lives in every way You reached inside and spoke of things we hide from day to day You saw inside the insides of our lives and hearts and souls Where many powers, great and small, all fight for the controls A mighty ship has mighty parts and many can't be seen You have been the rudder in the days that lied between Your hands have crafted many parts that led us out to sea Stormy nights and Sunny days, I know you spoke for me Often times The Hunter may get captured by the game The one that captured all of it has Hunter as his name You painted pictures of our future with oils from the past Your mind connected somehow to the one thing Built to Last You wrote about tomorrow like it happened yesterday You found a way to speak the words we all would love to say The soundtrack of my life took flight before I came to hear it The words I'd need in years to come delivered through your spirit There's no way we could measure what you've brought throughout the years Many million smiles, I know, and just as many tears I'm sure that you've been honored more than many on the earth I wonder if you know at all, what your treasure's worth If you did I wonder If you'd care for it at all I know you've seen the rising tide, I know you've seen it fall With every step along the path your lyric lead the way As valid 50 years ago as they are this very day There are those that bake the bread and others that will eat it You brought the flour and the glory fell on those who got to knead it You found the words that gave a man the tools to make them stick With all the power in dynamite, it's nothing without a wick The spark that came from up above the wick that caught the spark You took us to the light until you brought us In The Dark I often sit and wonder what it's like inside your mind The man who grabbed the future from so many years behind x
