SA blog #22 - "Ignited by a Dream" - Reflections on the final 'New Voices'

Monday Nights, New Voices came to an end last night after seven incredible years. I wrote this song 20 minutes prior to the concert. My voice is gone but my heart is full. Enjoy.

IGNITED BY A DREAM - Lyrics

IT STARTED WITH A VISION
CREATED OUT OF LOVE
IT STARTED WITH A STRONG FOUNDATION
AND THEN I JUST WORKED MY WAY UP

IT HAS TURNED OUT LIKE A STORY
WHERE WE ALL PROVIDED WORDS
AND THOSE WORDS HAD MANY MEANINGS
THAT YOU'VE SUNG
AND I HAVE HEARD

I HAVE SEEN SO MANY FACES
I HAVE HEARD SO MANY SONGS
I HAVE WATCHED AS PASSION BATTLED OUT WITH DEMONS
TRYING TO FIND WHERE YOU BELONG
IT'S THE ENDING OF AN ERA
BUT FOR ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN
TONIGHT I CLOSE THE FINAL CHAPTER
IGNITED BY A DREAM

ALL OF YOU'VE BECOME A FAMILY
AND EACH CHILD LIGHTS MY HEART
AND THOUGH IT KILLS ME NOW TO SAY GOODBYE
I KNOW A NEW JOURNEY MUST START

I MUST TRUST MY OWN DECISIONS
THOUGH RIGHT NOW, IT'S HARD TO DO
HOW TO LEAVE BHIND
A SINGLE PAGE
AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF YOU
YES, IT'S THE ENDING OF AN ERA
AND WITH ALL THAT I HAVE SEEN
TONIGHT I LEAVE BEHIND THIS STORY
IGNITED BY A DREAM

AND HERE IS WHERE WE LEAVE
THESE SEVEN YEARS BEHIND
SEVEN YEARS OF MEMORIES
CONCLUDED HERE TONIGHT

BUT IF YOU EVER START TO WONDER
WHERE YOU PATH WILL ONE DAY LEAD
THERE IS ONE THING YOU MUST PROMISE
THAT THIS PATH IGNITES YOUR DREAM

AND RIGHT NOW I CLOSE MY CHAPTER
IT'S THE ENDINF OF AN ERA
AND I HOPE YOU'LL WRITE YOUR STORY
IGNITED BY YOUR DREAMS

I love the song!!!

[dominictheatre]

You are so amazing. I wish I couldve been apart of New Voices. I hope someone does something like this when I am older. Scott you are an inspiration to so many. You are creative and so talented. Thank you so much for blessing this earth!

Scott you could write a song with two glasses and a spoon and it would be perfect and beautiful. And at the end of the day Dreams are all we have left. Dreams give us hope, peace and the light to carry on. You don't know who I am but... a part of me is in all of the songs you write. Thank you for being you.
