Backstory:

Here's the first song Heidi (McKee) and I co-wrote for the SongU.com Spring Fling Challenge in June 2007. It was a fantastic experience, despite our different styles, and I would love to write with her again. Click on the link below to listen to it! Enjoy, and we will appreciate your comments. -- Ban

Lyrics:

                                                  
Verse 1:
Jenni lived in a tin-roof shack
On the wrong side of town
Her daddy the local garbage man
The kids laughed and always put her down
She'd look at them and say
Every dog has his day...
 
Chorus:  
I'm gonna soar
I'm gonna fight harder, dream bigger
Life won’t beat me down
Spread my wings wider, fly higher
Higher than ever before
I'm gonna soar, gonna soar  

Verse 2:
Jenni got a guitar at eighteen
Each string held a dream
People laughed and said just give up 
A dreamer is all you'll ever be 
Jenni would prove them wrong 
She wrote her first hit song

Chorus: (same)

Bridge:                                       
Jenni’s first concert at the Ryman Theater 
This freckled little ragged girl got up and sang this chorus

Chorus: (same)

Tag: 
I’m gonna soar
I’m gonna soar
