about

I wrote this song about the love of my life having to go through radiation treatments and about the small tattoos they had to place on his body in order to "guide the radiation beam". When I found out about the hundreds of thousands of folks who have similar tattoos I wanted to write something positive and up lifting. In essence, to take something fearful and dark and turn it into a "radiant light" of healing.

lyrics

TATTOO
Tell me your Secrets
And show me your scars
In this season of fear
Life can be hard
And all of the things
We used to believe
And the places
Where we grieve
Everything's weird
Everything's strange
All the cards up our sleeves
We're all rearranged
And the hand that
We've been dealt
Is a hand of change
CHORUS
And the tattoos on your body
They ain't pretty
And they guide the light
To save the love of my life

And when the tough
Times come
We're up for the fight
A punch to the left
A swing to the right
Releasing this
Invisible foe
With radiant light


CHORUS
And the tattoos on your body
They ain't pretty
And they guide the light
To save the love of my life

Tell me your secrets
And show me your scars
In this season of truth
Life can be hard
And all of the things
We still believe
And the places
Where we grieve

CHORUS
And the tattoos on your body
They ain't pretty, no!
And they guide the light
To save the love of my life
And the tattoos on your body
They ain't pretty
And they guide the light
To save the love
Of my life
Of my life
You are the love
You are the love
You are the love
Of my life
