[MUSIC - "THE RIGHT PATH"]
[SINGING] Screaming, crying, I think of what my life is now.
Be strong.
Keep fighting.
I don't know how.
[HUMMING]
Deep breath.
A new day.
Time is slowly moving on.
Without you, without her, how can I be strong?
I lift my head and journey on and take one step.
And I may not be running or walking very fast.
Some days it hurts so bad that I just sit down on the path.
And I can't promise much, but if there's one thing I can do,
I can get on the right path home to you, home to you.
I think of heaven, I bet it's really not that far.
And I bet the bike rides are amazing in the stars.
I lift my head and journey on and take one step.
And I may not be running or walking very fast.
Some days it hurts so bad that I just sit down on the path.
And I can't promise much, but if there's one thing I can do,
I can get on the right path home.
Someday I'll know.
Someday I'll see.
I'll look back and realize where you were leading me.
Someday I'll know.
Someday I'll see
That on this path I found the victory.
Oh, I may not be running or walking very fast.
Some days it hurts so bad I just sit down on the path.
I won't promise much, but there's
one thing I'll always do.
I can get on the right path home,
get on the right path home,
I can get on the right path home to you.
Welcome back to another episode of Mormon Channel Studio.
My name's Alex Melecio, your host,
and that was "The Right Path" by Kylie Hintze.
That was wonderful.
Thank you for sharing that with us, "The Right Path."
Yeah.
So tell us about this song.
What motivated you to write this song?
Yeah.
So I'm really inspired by people's stories--of friends
and family and their unique stories in their life.
And my cousin and his daughter actually
passed away about two years ago in a car accident.
But two months before he passed away,
he posted on Facebook a quote about how the right path isn't
always the easiest or the most popular,
but it's the best path, and how it's the only path that's
going to lead us back to our Heavenly Father
and all our loved ones someday.
And so that quote was really helpful for my family
while we were going through that devastating tragedy,
and so that's what inspired this song.
I wrote it from the perspective of his wife, whom I really
admire, and it's just kind of motivation for all of us
to stay on that right path so that we can make it back
to all our loved ones.
That's amazing.
It comes through.
The inspiration that you had and the events
that led up to you writing that song, it's amazing.
Personally, as a songwriter, I can relate to--you always have
certain circumstances, certain issues,
certain events in your life that lead you and teach you certain
things that you wouldn't have seen any other way.
I was thinking of my own family.
I was thinking of my own kids, you know?
I hope that I'm doing the best as a dad
to put them in the right path.
So I appreciate you singing about that
and titling that song "The Right Path."
Thank you.
I understand you have another song for us.
Yes.
Is that right?
Tell us about this other song.
So this is the hymn "For the Beauty of the Earth."
And I love this hymn because I really
feel like we have a lot to be grateful for,
and sometimes it's easy to forget that.
Awesome.
Count your many blessings, right?
Makes life a lot better.
All right, take it away.
[MUSIC - "FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH"]
[SINGING] For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
Oh, there is sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my light.
Oh, sunshine, blessed sunshine
When the peaceful happy moments roll.
When Jesus shows his smiling face,
There is sunshine in the soul.
Oh, for the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
