One day I was in Chico’s home in San Antonio and I noticed a framed, typewritten yellowed document.  I took a closer look and saw that it was a prayer called Be With Me God.  As I read it, I realized the meter was much like my own songwriting.  Chico told me his father was a 19 year old Marine in World War II whose squad was charged with rooting any remaining enemy soldiers out of caves on several Pacific islands. His father carried this prayer with him as a brave, scared combat teenager.  I decided to make a song out of it and re-titled it Beauty Of A Star for one of my favorite lines in the prayer.
