Ridge Banks – “Searching For Savannah”

Ridge Banks collaborated with Cheri Carmody and Bill Hinks on a song titled “Searching for Savannah,” which started from a story idea Hinks originally brought to the group. The writers created this piece to bring light to one of the most heartbreaking and frequently overlooked humanitarian issues happening today: thousands of migrant children separated from their families after crossing the U.S. border.

The writers chose to focus strictly on the raw emotional reality faced by a mother desperately searching for her missing daughter. By telling this story through the character of Savannah, the song gives a voice to real families whose daily lives rarely make national news, even while they live with uncertainty, grief, and hope.

Built around a simple prayer, the track asks people to remember missing children and the parents who continue searching for them every single day and the line “Lord don’t forget the woman in Atlanta searching for Savannah” acts as the emotional heart of the piece. That sentence turns a national issue into a personal story about love, loss, faith, and perseverance.

For Ridge Banks, Cheri Carmody, and Bill Hinks, the main goal was not to make a political statement, but to build real compassion and raise awareness for families in crisis. It serves as a strong reminder that behind every statistic is a human story waiting to be heard.
