Chevel Shepherd
Song: The Letter
Director: David Dibble
Songwriters: Julie Wood (ASCAP/JamminJules Music), Kellys Collins (BMI/Songs of 2Bar Music/Starstruck Writers Alliance)
Label: Country Sweetheart
Lyrics:
She had a ring of gold and a three-year-old
And a house with a wooden fence
The doctors tried and her family cried
‘Cause it didn't make no sense
But somewhere deep inside she knew God knew better
So in the middle of the night... dim night light…she started her letter
It said...
Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words write ‘em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
Keep looking up keep looking up
Well she got the note that her momma wrote
On the day she turned eleven
On the envelope she read the words...
To my little girl from heaven
She couldn't remember the smell of her skin
Oh but on that night it was like she was holding her again
When she read…
Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words write ‘em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
Keep looking up keep looking up
Find a man who will hold your hand and loves you for you
And for heaven’s sake you'll make mistakes but whatever you do...
Don't give up right before the miracle
Don't let this world turn you cold and cynical
Take these words write ‘em on your heart
Let your light shine through the dark
And when you think you've had enough
And you need me to pour down my love
Keep looking up
Keep looking up
Keep looking up

We balled like babies the first time we heard this song and we literally cry every time we hear it and I'm teared now as I write this. Seeing our daughter in this video just makes hard to even express in words how eternally grateful we are for Chevel Shepherd and her family. We watched her from the very begging of The Voice and were fortunate enough to be from her home town in Farmington which caused our paths to cross. I can say unequivocally that she has one of the most authentically bright souls of anyone we've ever been around. Fame hasn't changed her one bit and I feel like that is so rare today. Her God given talent combined with her beautiful soul makes her such an important force in this world, we just consider it a privilege to say we know her. This song, it's meaning, the sound, her voice...it's all perfection. We love you Chevel. Thank you so much for touching our daughters life, and for setting such a powerful example. Evert bit of it is priceless. SHARE THIS SONG!

Chevel captured America while on The Voice-and deservedly won. She's a talent, both under the truck hood and with those god-given, beautiful vocals. I miss the authentic country ballads, and Chevel served this song up on a golden platter. Beautiful person, beautiful spirit and a beautiful voice. I hope we/I hear much more from her. She'll soon enough be on CMA and walking down the red carpet smiling and waving.
