about

I wrote this song as a tribute to my late brother, Matthew Paul Motok

lyrics

It's a good thing God loves all the sinners and saints
Brother you were a little of both
Good thing we are God's Children
It gives us a little hope
You had a guardian angel all these years working double-time
you tempted fate on a backwoods road now I'm the one left alive
with all these memories and things that I should have done
As you walk this Great Divide
the space between death and life
the wilderness of the Spirit
another for your to explore
Just listen listen to this Man
Trust in the love of God
Listen listen to this Man
Know that you'll be carried home!
open to the loving light of our Creator
your soul has always been whole
Continue to fish and dream dream fish the lakes and pristine clear waters
wish for trout unlimited in your own backyard
I know that you wanted this Earth to be restored
Like me you sought the respect of our father
you were sharp-tongued, and loud, with a raw sense of humor
a lover of mother nature and my mother's firstborn son
A solid man, a wild-natured son-of-a-gun
I had questions that I wanted to ask and a trip that never happened
I've got questions that will never be answered except in my own heart
late at night as the shadows grow
after mourning will the cool night ever come?
Matthew your life was not in vain there was never any race or competition
you came and went on your own terms
and in our eyes you have become
Brother, Husband, Father, Uncle, Son
