Story Behind The Song
In these challenging and trying times, we are all struggling to carry on and when we lose someone in our lives, well that just makes it all the more painful. That is exactly what has happened to not only us, but the entire Michigan music scene.
Welcome to "Heaven's Call".
With the help of my band Sweet Crystal, and featuring guest vocalists Peggy Turner-Carr (Righteous Through God) and David Winans II (Pi), I created this musical and visual tribute to the life and times of our good friend Vincent Salvia - a business man, a family man, a world traveler, an accomplished musician and a huge supporter of SWEET CRYSTAL and the entire music scene here in Michigan. Although we know where he now is on his journey through eternity, we just had to produce this video to memorialize this amazing man. May the lyrics comfort and encourage all of us that have lost someone this special.

Lyrics
Have you ever thought of all the friends you've got?
There is one that you just know was sent to you from God?
Now you'll understand how we felt about this man
He came into our lives one day
How we hoped that he would stay but then
An angel got their wings today
Just before they flew away
We heard you had answered Heaven's call
When we think of you, my friend
How one day we will meet again
Until then, we'll wait on Heaven's call
You opened up our minds to the higher truths we'd find
Acting as a guide, a friend, we felt that this would never end
If we'd only known you'd soon be called back home
We would have told you from the start
You have a place within our hearts and now...
An angel got their wings today Just before they flew away
We heard you had answered Heaven's call
When we think of you, my friend How one day we will meet again
Until then, we'll wait on Heaven's call
An angel got their wings today Just before they flew away
We heard you had answered Heaven's call
When we think of you, my friend How one day we will meet again
But until then,
We'll wait on Heaven Where you'll be waiting
We'll wait on Heaven's call
