This is a song my (deceased) ex-wife Sonja Yancey and I wrote before our son Jett was born.
Sonja and I wrote our own spiritual song together. We went to her producer Fred Foster's office and she sang it to Fred with just the guitar and he recorded and published it. Fred is a hall of fame producer who produced over 20 Roy Orbison's hits like Pretty Woman, Percy Sledge hits i.e. "When A Man Loves A Woman", Kris Kristofferson "Me and Bobby McGee" and many more. We thought it could be a We are the World kind of thing. But he didn’t think it was commercial enough. We still got $1000 just for writing it. It was the best publishing deal in Nashville history. Thank you Forerunner Music.



We Are Sailing

We are sailing on a planet out in space among the stars

Members of the human race that’s who we

And in our dreams and in our plans

We must remember the kingdom of heaven lies at hand



Angel bands whisper softly on the wind

To comfort the heart of every man

Golden streams of glorious light shines from their wings

To remind us and help us understand



We are living in a garden we call Earth

We call her mother She has nurtured us from birth

She’s our foundation She’s our future she’s alive

We must remember we need her to survive



Angel bands whisper softly on the wind

To comfort the heart of every man

Love remains and tears of joy replace the pain

You remember he holds us in his hands



We are seekers in search of wisdom from afar

We are the children of an everlasting star

We are tomorrow todays the day to take a stand

We must remember to preserve his holy land



Angel bands whisper softly on the wind

To comfort the heart of every man

Golden streams of glorious light shines from their wings

To remind us and help us understand



We are angels we are descendants of a King

A river flowing from an everlasting spring

Of one who loves us each and every one the same

We must remember to praise his holy name



Angel bands whisper softly on the wind

To comfort the heart of every man

Love remains and tears of joy replace the pain

You remember he holds us in his hands



We are sailing on a planet out in space among the stars
