Story Behind The Song
This is a song about perseverance when the odds are against you. During the time the song was written I was in the middle of a financial crisis, in a job that twas going nowhere, trying to break into the songwriting business with few resources, little time, and an abundance of responsibilities. Even getting this song recorded was a miracle. This song is about that struggle that we all have when our backs are against the wall.
