Hello everyone,

I long for the summer, and had heard enough of all these Corona troubles. So I made this song with a Caribbean feeling: https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/live-your-dream

I grew up in the Caribbeans and allways loved the sound of steeldrums. Then discovered it was in the library of BiaB! The lyrics are less sunny. They are based on a meeting I had when I was in Malaga, Spain some weeks ago (just before it wasn't allowed to do because of the virus). But I put something of hope in the chorusses. combined with the sunny feeling of the steeldrums I believe it will work out fine for that woman and everyone else who needs a mindset these days.

She told me she liked it
Hope you like it too!

The lyrics:
Live your dream
(c) HwBerkhout, March 26, 2020

Verse
There you sit in your old chair
A tired face and lifeless hair
Red eyes, tears that barely wait
But a mind giving up faith

You lost what you once got
But finding it again you can not
You heard too many lies
Why not try it otherwise?

Chorus
If you feel it, you can get it!
You won't loose a day
If you stretch out, you can reach it
You'll find out anyway
Always cherish your self esteem
Stay strong,
Live your dream
Live your dream

Verse
Once you were a happy girl
Treated like a precious pearl
Once you sparkled like champagne
Now only memories remain

Once you thought living your dream
That all ended in a muddy stream
You heard too many lies
Why not try it otherwise?

Chorus

Solo

Chorus 2x
