Help Us Win

As some of you know, I love music! And I love to play and write music. Now I'll admit, I am not very good at it sometimes, (especially singing) but I still love to do it!

Recently I had the opportunity to play some songs at my family wards small BBQ. Here is part of one of the songs I've written.

It's called "Help Us Win". I have never sang with a microphone before so it is pretty hard to hear me because I wasn't close enough. Oops... my bad. But here you go. I hope you like it. The lyrics are below so you know what I'm saying. :) (fyi the video picks up at the second verse)

Help Us Win -

written by Rachel Jenkins

Verse 1

The fight it seems may never end

One's alive another one's dead

but when will it stop?

Your mom, your dad, your sister your son

who will have to be the next one to fight

for the chance to be free again

CHORUS

All the people around the world are calling to you

Who will help us change a life will it be you?

So stand tall

Don't give up

Don't give in

Just be the one

To help us win

Verse 2

Look at all the people who

who haven't survived, but who have tried

to no success.

And all the others who

who've made it through it may be because

because of you

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

To bury a friend is the hardest thing you'll ever do

So just give

Your time, your money, your heart let's help them live

Repeat Chorus
