Pre-order now: http://smarturl.it/JasonBecker This is my story, and in a way, everyone’s story. Life – we are all just trying to be happy. People are baffled that I can be happy after almost 30 years with ALS. Even I sometimes wonder how it is possible. This song is the simple answer. Most of this video takes place in my mind. I am talking to myself, looking for answers, thinking about the past and some of the people I love, and it all comes out in music. #triumphanthearts Music & Lyrics written by: Jason Becker Produced & Arranged by: Jason Becker & Dan Alvarez Mixed by: Reto Peter at The Teahouse, Oakland, CA Andrew Jay: Intro guitar solo Daniele Gottardo: All other guitars Codany Holiday: Lead vocal Background Vocals: Codany Holiday, Bryan S.

Lyrics: When I was young and full of wonder The universe was tender Every dream I had would come true Music was my worldview Hearts fell at my feet Each breath was so sweet Life was complete Now the past is over I was cut down much too soon I can’t speak, I can’t play But this flesh has much more to say I wave good-bye To yesterday’s highs Life has other plans Love and confusion Peace and destruction What is the point of it all Why must we all feel small Our hearts are not toys We just want real joy Life’s just a dream You ask me this question Due to my unfortunate fate How can you carry on Without feeling hate Love brings light to the darkness inside Love’s the voice that sings “hold on!” Hold on, hold on Hold on to love Hold on, hold on Hold on to me More of Jason Becker: http://JasonBecker.com http://www.facebook.com/jasonbeckerofficial/ http://twitter.com/jasonelibecker http://www.ebay.com/usr/beckteaam http://www.instagram.com/jasonbeckerofficial You can donate to the Jason Becker Special Needs Trust via this link: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=NUUSS6J5RWUYC All donations go directly to assisting Jason and his family in their ongoing battle against ALS.
