about

The dragon of Courage.
I wrote these lyrics after reflecting on my daughter and the health difficulties she went through and how brave she was and how she persevered. She baffled doctors for a few years and left the school questioning and sometimes interrogating us when we were just trying to get through it and work out what was wrong.

She had scary regular periods of paralysis, blackouts, and problems with staying conscious and alert. She missed about a third of school time and caught up whenever she had good spells. She still managed to get great exam results and danced on stage for national competitions.
(she finally got the right diagnosis and meds after a wonderful children's specialist doctor saw her and is now fine)

Her courage through this experience is my inspiration whenever life gets tough, to live with courage when it all seems impossible.

There's always moments that test us (long or short) but it's amazing what us humans can do.

Love & Lyrics video coming soon

lyrics

Stand up got the heart of a dragon
Give me courage like you’ll never imagine
Tireless and brave, take it to the stage
Your cosmic energy, here is the best of me
Stand up got the heart of a dragon
Give me courage like you’ll never imagine
Tireless and brave, take it to the stage
Your cosmic energy, here is the best of me

The pain is old it slips away, my heart is here, it’s here to stay
It’s a new beginning, this is what I'm feeling
Good fortune comes to all, who give their best of all,
I release the waters, this is for my daughter

Stand up got the heart of a dragon
Give me courage like you’ll never imagine
Tireless and brave, take it to the stage
Your cosmic energy, here is the best of me
Stand up got the heart of a dragon
Give me courage like you’ll never imagine
Tireless and brave, take it to the stage
Your cosmic energy, here is the best of me

My protector of the heart, I knew it all from the start
Breaking out the queen inside, this ain't no thing of pride
The knowledge in my mind, I leave my fears behind,
Defender of the dark, defender of my heart

Stand up got the heart of a dragon
Give me courage like you’ll never imagine
Tireless and brave, take it to the stage
Your cosmic energy, here is the best of me
Stand up got the heart of a dragon
Give me courage like you’ll never imagine
Tireless and brave, take it to the stage
Your cosmic energy, here is the best of me

The yin and yang they balance now, I see the truth I see it now
Guardian of the light, carries me through the night

Heart of a dragon….

Stand up got the heart of a dragon
Give me courage like you’ll never imagine
Tireless and brave, take it to the stage
Your cosmic energy, here is the best of me
Stand up got the heart of a dragon
Give me courage like you’ll never imagine
Tireless and brave, take it to the stage
Your cosmic energy, here is the best of me
