about

This song has become a way of life for us and our fans... it was written the first time I (Mel) was diagnosed with cancer as a way to process the emotions and fear Rich and I were feeling at the time. I (Mel) have survived cancer twice (I'm a lucky girl!) and this song has grown well beyond us- helping lots of folks through tough times. We are honored that this song could help others and we send it out with all our love.

One for strength
Two for joy
Three for better days

All that I
Counted on
Seems so far away

So here I stand
On foreign ground
Trying not to sway

With nothing left to lose
but everything

Dare me to try
To make me whole
And I will fight
I will try
To be brave and kind
And make me whole
And I will fight
I will try
To be brave and kind

One for hope
Two for grace
Three for chancing it

All that I counted on
I took for granted

With this scar
I am found
I am branded

With everything to lose
This is nothing

Dare me to try
To make me whole
And I will fight
I will try
To be brave and kind
And make me whole
And I will fight
I will try
To be brave and kind

I am blood
I am bones
But I am not afraid…
