A solo voice opens this moving anthem of individuality that doubles as a celebration of music. When all the voices join, singers echo warm phrases from part to part and build to an important realization at the bridge: If we all sing together, our songs will become like a symphony. You'll feel a firm tug of the heartstrings as the fully harmonized final verse builds to an impressive cadence and a momentous fermata. An awesome opener or closer in any voicing, and one you won't soon forget.

There is a word in South Africa, Ubuntu, which recognizes that we are better as individuals and entire communities when we root ourselves in relationships. When we care for each other and embrace our essential unity, humanity thrives. This very special original song invites singers and audience members to live Ubuntu, connected as one global family. Two-part singers will quickly learn the naturally syncopated hook, echo phrases, and no fuss harmony. A small drum circle, an opening narrator, a few rap soloists, and some resonant descant voices guarantee an impressive performance. This is the type of piece you'd hear at convention, hope your kids can handle, and then rejoice when you realize they can!

Carefully placed staccatos and well-chosen chord inversions illuminate the gospel style of this original anthem of hope. It's a perfect pep talk or pick-me-up theme song for whenever your program needs a lift. A solo voice becomes a duet before all the singers join in and grow with intensity. Several ascending key changes raise spirits, ensuring that the uplifting message resonates. Everything will be alright, everything will be okay, 'cause I can see a new horizon on a brand new day. If you don't perform with the kickin' SoundTrax accompaniment, be sure to add a groovin' drummer and riffing organ of your own. We dare you (and your audience) not to clap along!
