Backstory:

I wrote this song a few years back and always believed that it was good. Went through a few vocalist and finally found one that captures the feelings of a woman pushed down for so many years, unsure if she could survive on her own. Then she finally reached the point of maturity to break free and find that not only can she survive, she can thrive. "can't stop the heart of a free soul"  The vocalist is Sophie Cannon. I have full rights to the song.
