about

This is the first song I ever wrote for the then 11 year old Rilee O'Neill. It become just one of over a dozen songs that later became part of the "Letters To Daddy" Musical.

lyrics

Dare To Be 12/26/2006 | Song # 359

Refrain
Stand up and breathe!
Look out to the far horizon
Reach up and receive
Something you can build on

Dare to be who you want to be
Dare to go where you want to go
Dare to see the possibilities
Dare to do what you want to do
Dare to know what you got to know
Dare to take “response-ability”

Dare to dream what you want to dream
Dare to say what you gotta say
Dare to be strong (from now on)
Dare to mean what you really mean
Dare to stay where you want to stay
Dare to belong (sing this song!)

Refrain

Dare to laugh if you want to laugh
Dare to sing if you want to sing
Even sitting in detention
Dare to love if you want to love
Dare to bring some brand new thing
To the world’s attention

Refrain

Bridge
Be the open road
Be the open sky
Be the open sea
Open up your eyes

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
