I shared with her a song that I had begun writing after having dream visions of my brother, Billy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She added, &#8220;I asked her to write the second verse as a healing outlet for her pain and grief. I was blown away by the verse she brought back to me. But it still wasn&#8217;t finished, and we weren&#8217;t sure where to take it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That&#8217;s when the pair asked Willie, 93, for help, and he wrote the bridge. Later, he added vocals and played guitar on the song.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Now it is a full-on family song, as it should be,&#8221; added Amy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;God ain&#8217;t in the business of taking love away \/ They&#8217;re there baby it&#8217;s okay,&#8221; the pair sing on the chorus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Tina Rose added in a statement that she found the song&#8217;s concept &#8220;so powerful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for<\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/people-news-daily-newsletter-sign-up-8692701\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:PEOPLE's free daily newsletter;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;PEOPLE'&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><strong> PEOPLE&#8217;s free daily newsletter<\/strong><\/a><strong> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I was honored that she invited me to contribute to it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;My verse is about a distinct memory I have \u2014 of the first time my dad visited me in a dream after he died.
