Katy Perry has done it again. Firework is one of my favorite songs. Granted, its not entirely her doing. Firework was one of the first song selections for my church’s Dramatic Worship team, which is a liturgical dance group. One the dancers is my daughter, so now I cannot hear that song without thinking of her and her best friend singing it out loud with all their heart.
Well, Katy’s song Roar is a similarly awesome song about conviction, courage, and strength. It is one I want my daughters to know and sing along to. I had heard it once or twice, and enjoyed it. Then I saw the video below, shared by a friend on FB through Upworthy on Tatiana Danger’s blog. It contained a crying warning label, but I’m okay with a few tears every now and then. I wasn’t expecting what came next. Tears. Then sobs. My heart was at the same time broken and strengthened. I was saddened beyond words, and yet inspired. The video is apparently a fundraising effort for Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. I don’t know if it will help them, but I will never hear this song again and not think of the courage in that building, and all Children’s Hospitals.
And by the way, the girl in the purple tie-dye is an awesome performer
