From the recording Epiphany- Limited Release

There was a young man named Freddy Wiechers who was riding his dirt bike and returning home after riding the trails in the North Valleys of Reno, Nv. As he crossed a road the setting sun blinded a young girl who was just learning to drive. She didn't see him, and the life, and the life.... Thanks to Richard Campbell's skills this song came together in this beautiful but sad tune.

Lyrics

AND THE LIFE
©Doug Robertson / Richard Earl Campbell; CD Baby Publishing

There’s a corner that everyone knows of
A glint of metal on the sign caught my eye 
It’s where moments are captured in a heart beat
Sometimes we see it, Sometimes we drive by

Model Airplanes, a slot car and a class ring
Photos of old dogs and dirt bikes 
Toys & gadgets, pictures and flowers
At the corner, they’re fresh every night

And the young girl, drives the first time
And is blinded By the sunlight
Doesn’t see him at the crossing
And the life.... And the life...

Preacher looks at the cross on the roadside
Mumbles prayer, moves on with a sigh
Lonely mother passing as the daybreaks
Thinks of her lost son and she cries.

There’s a corner that everyone knows of
A glint of metal on the sign caught my eye...
