I can't even imagine how sad that is. Losing a daughter. That makes Chapman's song, Cinderella, all the more sad when you think about it.

I can't imagine how the brother is feeling. The entire family, especially him, have my prayers.

I can't imagine how terrible I'd feel if I accidentally ran over my sister with my car. I'm definitely praying for them.

I heard about that. I'm so sorry for his family.

I heard them talking about it for the first time on Larry King Live.

I just wanted to spread the word that Steven Curtis Chapman will be performing 'Cinderella' live on the CBS Early Show this Wednesday.

I think "Cinderella" was one of the songs he rewrote after the death of his daughter.

Hmm.. rewrote? He rewrote "Yours" for the radio... I haven't heard anything about rewriting Cinderella.... though, he did make a special CD about This Moment, the Cinderella Edition. It has like... 3 versions of Cinderella and is all pretty and pink... he rewrote it though? That is totally new... So, this Wednesday? I'll have to catch it on youtube come Thursday.. I have school...

Perhaps re wrote was a poor choice of words slightly re worked is a better choice. My friend on facebook posted this underneath a video: "After the death of his daughter, Maria, and with the pending wedding of his oldest, Emily, Steven Curtis Chapman has changed some of the lyrics to his beautiful song "Cinderella"

All he changed was the last line:

"All too soon the clock will strike midnight, but...the truth is: the dance will go on."

The new verse of Yours is in my signature. It's actually a picture of the actual words Steven himself wrote down.

EDIT:

Also, The Cinderella Edition of This Moment was already set to be released before the accident happened. The only two versions of the song Cinderella that are on there are the original and the accoustic, which are both also on This Moment [Special Edition].
