Picture a solitary man, standing on stage, singing acapella:
"I'm sitting in a clean, white room,
And the room is rather small,
There's nothing but a bed in here,
And the only ones to talk to are the walls.
And the walls, they never hear a thing,
And the walls, they hear it all,
For the walls, they are not listening,
And the only ones to talk to are the walls.
... "
I was so blown away by this song, that a week later, I still can't get it out of my mind. Anyone who has ever struggled with mental illness - of any degree - can relate to the words in this song, and I appreciate Phil's courage in sharing it. I encourage everyone to visit Sunrise Ministries and download Track 8 from their album "Fly Away." While you are there, listen to their other music. You might find something else you love.
