This song was written as a response to the help that God offered when Michael asked for some spiritual direction during a rough time in his life. "It may strike some as a little wierd, but it has great personal meaning to me," says Michael. |

Dark, groovy, poetic and politically incorrect. If you are "disenchanted" with the way governments run the world, you're gonna love this song! |

A Brian Clem creation. It's one of Michael's favorite songs to perform live with Brian because, he says, "you never know what song will be on the jukebox." Take a listen; you'll hear what he means. |
