The app for independent voices

I would love to know what song is inspiring you to overcome your fears?

When I was trying to find the courage to push the publish button on my first Substack post, my daughter asked me if there was a song that might inspire me to do it.  I immediately thought of the song You’re the Voice, the words speak as powerfully to me today as they did the first time I heard this song decades ago. 

We have the chance to turn the pages over

We can write what we want to write

We gotta make ends meet before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter

We're all someone's son

How long can we look at each other

Down the barrel of a gun?

You're the voice, try and understand it

Make a noise and make it clear, oh, woah

We're not gonna sit in silence

We're not gonna live with fear

This time, we know we all can stand together

With the power to be powerful

Believing we can make it better

With the courage this song instilled, one week ago today, I pushed the button and published my first post on Substack.  If you have not seen it, check it out.
