| Edwin McCain – Prayer To St. Peter Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
A little more info on where this song came from. (Thanks Bob Korkuc). The song was written by John Gorka and first recorded by David Wilcox. Edwin McCain came next, and then John recorded recorded it. John recieved the lyrics from a friend in Akron, Ohio. The friends mother was a nurse in the Phillipines in WW-II. She found the lyrics left behind in the hospital and added them to her scrap book, under one of those pictures of a thousand white crosses. When the daughter saw the scrapbook, she copied the words and sent them to Gorka, asking him to write some music to go with the poem. (Source - WKSU NPR local news) |
