This song was originally written by Pierce Pettis, He wrote it about the death of his dear friend Mark Heard and the community of artist that his death affected. That though not by birth they were his family. The first verse is addressed to God, the Second is laying Mark to rest in Macon GA (that hard red clay), the third is an affirmation that even the Christ, God incarnate need a human family. A beautiful beautiful song.
