MOLLY HATCHET – “JUSTICE”
“FLY ON WINGS OF ANGELS”
Diena Thompson found herself living every parent’s worst nightmare when her 7 year old daughter went missing on October 19, 2009. Two days later, in a Georgia landfill, Somer’s body was discovered. The community felt an immediate call to action. Fundraisers were coordinated to aid Diena and her family, as well as to raise money for the reward fund.
Multi-platinum, International Recording Artists Molly Hatchet has played an integral part in supporting Diena Thompson. The band donated items for a silent auction and orchestrated a benefit concert, which included fellow Jacksonville based bands, Something Distant and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Molly Hatchet’s biggest contribution to this case is the song that was written in Somer Thompson’s memory. “Fly on Wings of Angels” is a beautiful ballad that opens with Somer’s older sister, Abby, singing “You are my Sunshine”, Somer’s favorite song. The song will be the first single on the bands new album titled “JUSTICE” which will be release on June 1, 2010 worldwide.
Somer’s Song…Fly on Wings of Angels with Abby Thompson (Sister singing in her memory on the opening of the song which was Somers favorite “You are my Sunshine”.
FLY ON WINGS OF ANGELS
(Abby sings in memory of her sister Somer)
You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You´ll never know dear how much I love you
Please don´t take my Sunshine Away....
Vision of a baby child a blessed event in our lives
So warm and tender so sweet and kind
When I looked at you I see my life through my mamas eyes
I held you oh so close to my heart when you laughed or cried
But it ended way too early no one could ever answer why
we bow our heads and say our prayers to Somer in the night time sky
Fly on Wings of Angels a shining star on a cold and rainy night
Somer`s with the Angels so she´ll never have to say goodbye
This single has touched America’s heart and brought forth an awareness that community involvement can make a difference by bringing people together and in helping one another in time of tragedy and seeking…JUSTICE !!
