Together

[adalger]

Let us join with one another on that long and winding road.
From the valley to the valley o'er the mountaintops we go.
Should one tire, should one grow weak,
Should one falter as we seek,
Let us each pick up the load. Let us share the strength we know.

Let us walk along together in communion, hand in hand
From the morning to the evening through the brightness of the day.
Should one lag, should one retreat,
Should one wilt beneath the heat,
Let us help our friends to stand. Let us lift them on the way.

Thinking about it, you're probably smack dab in the center of my "target audience" for this one. I had two specific people in mind when I wrote it, but in a larger sense I was going for a "hymnal" style. To me, this is a celebratory song of praise for the strength of a community joined together in faith. Your positive response is very meaningful to me, because your faith and spirituality are exactly the feelings I'm trying to connect with here.

Thank you.

oh NICE!! :-D it definitely resonated with me. :) i like it very, very much. could i...would you mind terribly if i tried putting it to music??

[adalger]

I'm open to talking about it, preferably in something with voice capability.

What do you mean voice capability? I was planning on making it something to sing...I don't actually write music. So I would just come up with a melody and then sing/record it for you. :)

Having thought about it, I've decided I'd be flattered if you were to do something like that. :)

Oh yay!! Yay, yay! I was hoping you'd be up for it!! :D
