Part 4 of the Hodgkins story... definitely more mellow than my usual stuff. Sort of has a Jar of Flies feel to it at times.

Story behind the song
The main character is in the midst of chemo and radiation, but has one of the rare days when he feels really good, as if there is a light at the end of the tunnel with his disease. It's fall outside, the leaves have changed, and it's cool out. One of those days where it's great to drive with the windows down. He feels as if God created the day just to lift his spirits.
Lyrics
Pushing on, moving forward with hope From crawl, to walk, to jog, to run The tides have turned my way for now it seems Having a good day, a rare day A day to celebrate the magic of life CHORUS: I believe there is a place for me to be I believe there is a life for me to lead God has spared me for a while it seems I must not let dust settle on my feet Can you remember a day when all you wanted was to drive? All the windows down and the air, the wind, whipping through? Walking out to your car And lifting your head to the sky Inhale, soaking in the smell of fallen leaves The smell of 65 degrees He spared me only for a few days like these CHORUS Run with me, away to where the truth can019t see Stay hidden in the smell of 65 degrees Happiness can cure even the worst of disease At least in the end you know you believe

Puts me in the mind of Queensryche diong David Lee Roth's/Steve Vai's "Damn Good". Lots of feeling!
