Artist picture
English lyricist working with dozens of composers and artists
I am a lyricist working with many composers and artists around the world and most frequently with 2 guys, Juri Rosenfeld and Mark Ellis who, although their styles are entirely different, are both extremely talented as musicians and composers, as well as producers. Along with these two, with whom I have written more than 50 songs....I have been most fortunate to collaborate with so many others that the list is almost endless but two very talented ladies spring to mind: Dawn Diamond and Amy Caldwell, who have not only both composed for my words but have also both are possessed of beautiful voices and have sung many, many times on songs I have written. There is no ONE genre I write for, since a lyricist has to be able to write for ANY category and I do, but one thing I try to be always, is honest in my work because when there is integrity, there is a way to relate to the song and if occasionally I meander into the poetic, it is because I am and always have been, since the age of 13 years, a poet...but that doesn't mean everything I write is flowery or full of metaphors...as I say, I strive always to be real and of course, most importantly, to be as unique as possible.

Story behind the song
This is a lyric that had to be written for the brave, beautiful, talented girls of the South African Kids Haven whose poetry touches my heart. I am so lucky to have my friend and collaborator Juri Rosenfeld on my side because no one else in the whole world could have made of it what he did. I love you Juri. Also, dearest friend, Amy Caldwell sings the hell out of the vocal and made it her own. I have never been more proud. One more person, I have to thank, for inspiring this song is a lady who is just known by the name Shaz. Had it not been for her drawing me into the lives of these young poets, I would not have been so motivated in writing this song. Thanks to all of you and especially to you Juri, my idol, my dear dear friend.
Lyrics
We are Strong Didn't ask for this life We don't know why we are here Didn't make it happen But it won't just disappear We won't weep upon your shoulder And begging ain’t our style You'll never see us crying Even though we rarely smile ~*~ Chorus: Cause we are strong We are stronger than a tree with many boughs And we belong Because the Earth beneath our feet is always ours We are fearless Much more fearless than a government of fools We can’t be broken We just obey a fundamental set of rules ~*~ Don’t know where we’re going Nothing’s certain in our world Our past is lost in shadows Into which we once were hurled But at least we want tomorrow so much more than yesterday and we’re gonna get there somehow cos they can’t take this away ~*~ We are strong We are stronger than a tree with many boughs And we belong Because the Earth beneath our feet is always ours We are fearless Much more fearless than a government of fools We can’t be broken We just obey a fundamental set of rules But at least we want tomorrow so much more than yesterday and we’re gonna get there somehow cos they can’t take this away We are strong We are stronger than a tree with many boughs And we belong Because the Earth beneath our feet is always ours We are fearless Much more fearless than a government of fools We cant be broken We just obey a fundamental set of rules We are strong Stronger than a tree with many boughs And we belong Because the Earth beneath our feet is always ours We are fearless Much more fearless than a government of fools Yes we are strong!!!
