Stoneman Douglas High Drama Club releases their song, "Shine".

Last edited Sun Mar 18, 2018, 09:22 AM - Edit history (3)

Some professional music producers have stepped up and helped the MSD drama club record the song first performed live at the CNN Town Hall, which brought so much support.

The live performance was inspirational, however mic levels were a problem at the beginning.

Here it is with a professional touch.



For those who have not seen the live performance:


Both are great in their own way.

We will Shine!

Will post lyrics in a bit.


Lyrics:
You!
You threw my city away.
You tore down all the walls
And opened up all the gates.

You!
You ruined this town.
You burned all the bridges
And slowly let us drown.

{chorus}
But you're not going to knock us down.
We'll get up again.
You may have hurt us
But our promise will be stronger and
We're not going to let you win.
We're putting up a fight.
You may have brought the dark
But together we will shine the light.

Whoa! We are something special.
Whoa! We're going to shine.
{/chorus}

We're!
We're going to stand tall.
We're going to raise our voices
So we'll never ever fall.
We're done.
We've seen your little games.
We're tired of hearing
We're too young to make a change.

{Chorus}

{bridge}
We can hug a little tighter.
We can love a little more,
Laugh a little harder.
We can stand up and roar.
If we all come together it will be all right,
Stand up for one another.
We'll never give up the fight.
{/bridge}

{Chorus} repeated.

They need to sell it and have all profits go to gun-control issues or to democratic candidates who support gun control!

They have some voluntary professional assistance. It's available on iTunes. I don't do iTunes.

That's all I know.

It would be nice if this went viral, kind of a theme song of the movement.

We'll see.
