A great ending to Inspiration Unlimited was listening to the song "Dream Big" by Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband. We had an interpreter there for 3 hearing impaired students and she stood at the front signing the lyrics with such expression & passion-I loved it. Touched my heart to see those 3 students moved by the words even though they couldn't hear the song.
This past weekend felt as though someone carried me through my classes with added energy as I prayed for strength...
"When you cry be sure to dry your eyes 'cause better days are sure to come
And when you smile be sure to smile wide don't let them know that they have won
And when you walk, walk with pride don't show the hurt inside because the pain will soon be gone
And when you dream, dream big as big as the ocean blue 'cause when you dream it might come true
When you dream, dream big
When you laugh be sure to laugh out loud 'cause it will carry all your cares away
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself and it'll help you feel okay
And when you pray, pray for strength to help you carry on when the troubles come your way
And when you dream, dream big as big as the ocean blue 'Cause when you dream it might come true When you dream, dream big"
Enjoy your Monday. xo

What beautiful words! I have never heard of this group, but if all there songs are this beautiful I will be looking into getting to know them better! Thanks for sharing those words. =)
I tell you, it's quite the inspirational Monday out here on the www.. thanks for adding to the up-liftment of my soul today!
It's so fun having you post about them :)
I sang with them waaaaay back in the day at an EFY youth concert. FUN TIMES.

Love those lyrics. Both my in- laws are Deaf and I love when songs are interpreted in signs, always brings tears to my eyes. Definitely shows more expression than words alone. My daughter was 3 when she taught her pre-k class a song "One small voice" in signs for a recital, and all the parents were in tears.
beautiful lyrics - I am going to google it in a sec. Those photos are amazing - never too tired or too old for dandelion wishes!!!

Thanks for sharing your musical inspirations. Wonderful lyrics. Glad your weekend was successful though sorry to hear your dog-tired - although I suppose it's to expected (sorry for the really rotten pun!).

Absolutely love this song. I've had a scrapbook page with these words and title in my mind for so long. Maybe I will finally create it...
I heard this song a couple of months ago and i LOVE it! I'm using it in a slide show for my son who is graduating from High School this year. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today :)
