You said it, brother.

The hope of children can surely see us through.

Amen.

I love you guys.

Pat - Do you happen to know anything about the music featured in the video? Is
it stock soundtrack stuff?

I assume it's stock music, but I really don't know. If you're really
interested, you can contact the production company. A Free Arts staffer
tells me this:
The company that produced the video is now called Emergence Pictures. The
founder, Dawn Mikkelson, produced our video under Aquaries Media and branched
off into this new company after Aquaries dissolved.

The music in the *news clips* was written and performed by a very talented
young girl, Becca Hurley. Complete lyrics are very meaningful. When she and
her 10-year old brother sang this to a room full of adult volunteers who
work with the abused kids, and financial backers, there wasn't a dry eye in
the house!

When You Thought No One Was Watching
By Becca Hurley ­ age 12

From the time when we are small
To when we win the Nobel Prize
Before we become grown-ups
In other people¹s eyes.
When you thought no one was watching
As you do your daily deeds
We always know
You¹re the reason we succeed.

You¹re an unspoken hero
To every kid you touch
I don¹t know how you do it -
?Cuz you don¹t get thanked enough.

When you thought no one was watching
We saw you go the extra mile
We could tell how much you cared
By how we felt so worth your while
So when you think no one is watching
All the little things you do
Remember kids like me
Are trying to be like you -

You¹re an unspoken hero
To every kid you touch
I don¹t know how you do it -
?Cuz you don¹t get thanked enough.

There¹s a thousand other ways to spend your time
Than to make a difference in a life like mine
I am small, but I won¹t stay that way
I just might make...a difference...to you someday

You¹re an unspoken hero
To every kid you touch.
On behalf of all these children
Thanks for all you do for us.
All you do...
All you do!
Thanks for all you do for us!
