Where Birds Can Fly

Words and Music by Mary Ann Young
"I am not driven by the desire to be famous. If I live my life experiencing the joy of having a few TRUE friends, then I will have lived a very rich life. I also don't want to live a life of mediocrity; I truly DO want to press on toward a higher mark. I want to leave a legacy that will endure for generations. I want my life to count for something that is bigger than me."
