Performing my original song "Erica" at AHS' STAND Benefit Concert on 1/14/11

Please visit my FaceBook page! I love hearing from you! :) http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Gwen-Levey/138895856160

We raised over $1,000 towards the fight against the genocide in Darfur as part of AHS' annual STAND Benefit Concert. Fellow Songwriter's Association of Washington (SAW) member, Jeff Silberberg, accompanied me that night to play on some of my songs and I was HONORED!

It was an amazing night full of so many great acts fighting for a great cause! I was honored to be a part of it again for my second year.

Lyrics:
Erica came into this world,
A beautiful baby girl,
Now as she grows in her teens,
She still shines bright with beauty,
And I-I-I want to say,
Erica don't look the other way,
When your life is moving ahead,
Please just don't forget

CHORUS
You'll go up and down and all around,
Know that life is what you make it,
The good and bad are bound to happen,
Just take a breath and take it,
Erica...

Of all of those boys that you will meet,
Know that anyone would be lucky,
To receive your love in future time,
Because trust me at this age they can be so blind,
And I-I-I want to say,
Erica even when your heart breaks,
Time is the best medicine you'll find,
And soon you'll smile because it's all right

Repeat CHORUS

Even when the sun doesn't shine,
You'll still be able to feel the light,
That's right,
Even when your heart is broken,
Cracked right open,
It will heal,
In time...time...

Repeat CHORUS

Erica...
