Marissa: Music

Spirit Carries

(Marissa)

This song was written about a puppy named Dominic. He was hit by a car, and due to the severity of his injuries, one of his legs had to be amputated. This dog now lives on three legs and is faster than most dogs on all four! The vet encouraged Doninic's owner to put him down, but Dominic refused to give up! I thought his indominable spirit deserved a song. But this song is also about purserverance, tenacity and hope.

Go ahead,
Sing your song,
And you knew it all along,
Your spirit will win out,
Every time I see your face,
I’ll remember you and this place,
The wine we drank,
The summer sun,
Your spirit tells me,
You’re the one,
You will never fail,
You will walk along the trail,
And your spirit will get you through,
Your spirit will carry you,

You set your mind to something,
There’s not stop,
You climb the mountain,
And struggle to the top,
Everything you are,
And everything you do,
Your enduring spirit will get you through,

You’ve got that something,
A spark and a fire,
Your force of will,
Your grace and desire,
You will never fail,
You will walk along the trail,
And your spirit,
Will get you through,
Your spirit will carry you,
Oh carry you
