I saw Kristi's beautiful lyric during 50/90 2015 and I felt very inspired by her amazing work. Yet for a long while I couldn't come up with the music which I felt was would be truly connecting with Kristi's beautiful lyric. One day out of desperation I wrote to Kristi apologizing that the music just wouldn't come up. Kristi's response was so kind and understanding! Thank you Kristi for all your support! Few days later I was creating my music to your poignant lyric. Theresa sang absolutely beautifully giving her soul and heart and bringing the song to life. Thank you Theresa for your stunning vocals. Thank you to everyone for listening. You can reach me via Bandcamp contact button if you would like to share your thoughts on our song. We would love to hear it in a movie/theatre production/musical. Please let me know if you are interested.

Don’t give up
When someone lets you down
There’s room for more love
To come back around

Don’t cry too long
You’ll miss the sky at dusk
The rhyme in a song
And the chills in a touch

Chorus:
So walk down the driveway
Get out in the heat
Be strong and keep love
As part of the dream
It’s nutty, it’s funny
It’s freakish and sleek
Oh, be strong and keep love
As part of the dream

Be generous
In all the things that you do
You have your own compass
So look at what’s in you

Be kind too
Send goodness thru the air
The world needs you
To get out there and share

Chorus:
So walk down the driveway
Get out in the heat
Be strong and keep love
As part of the dream
It’s nutty, it’s funny
It’s freakish and sleek
Oh, be strong and keep love
As part of the dream

Bridge:
Perseverance, resilience
Hope and faith
Are all shades of the rainbow
That color the way

So raise your hands
There’s a lifeline on your palm
It’s all in your grasp
Yours is deep and looks strong

Repeat chorus
