This piece is about how one person can ignite a spark withinus and that spark can allow our voice to be used in many different waysbringing light to the world. Singing is uplifting, and the buoyancy feltin singing can make our bodies elevate as we come together to createsomething magical. When we are brought together in music, we areunited under a common passion, a connection that can be felt for alifetime.- Timothy C.
