This piece I wrote years ago and pulled it from my poetry journals, then sculptured it into this powerful song that I am so proud of writing. This song is an empowering anthem about resilience, self-determination, and the transformative power of music as both personal expression and collective inspiration. The central figure—a woman who "lurks over the shadows" with "strength and beauty"—embodies someone who has overcome adversity and now stands as a beacon of possibility for others. The recurring image of standing tall while "the sky never leaks" suggests an unshakeable inner strength, a refusal to let hardship penetrate or diminish one's spirit. There's an optimistic, forward-momentum philosophy throughout: "I only see forward and never look back," "a little less today, a little more tomorrow," "for every doubt, there's a shout"—all pointing toward incremental progress and the choice to focus on growth rather than dwelling on the past. I wrote the lyrics in a way to fit into the music as a tool and be used as a liberating force, something that can "set you free" and shake people "from your seats," suggesting art as both awakening and a call to action. The bridge's acknowledgment that "in the game of life, we all have a part" broadens the message from personal triumph to collective empowerment—this isn't just a personal story I lived but an invitation for everyone to embrace their role, excel, and find their own courage. It's ultimately a rallying cry for authenticity, perseverance, and using your voice to inspire others. Most of my songwriting is of this nature; It’s deep, it’s from the heart, but most importantly, it’s all been lived and true! It’s what I am and always will be. “A man that can, and a wizard that will”! This track is pure inspiration — the feeling of pushing through closed doors, setbacks, and doubts until you finally break through. It’s about refusing to fold, refusing to shrink, and choosing to stand tall no matter what tries to knock you down.
