A song I felt inspired to write for the 2008 election/World landscape
I consider this version sort of a rough draft, but wanted to share it...

The tune is called "Keep Your Hope Alive". It is written for the World after so much heartache and disaster and war. The bridge part of the song is a tribute to those fighting in battles where they don't want to be and want to come home to their loved ones.

MP3/3:05

As they say, it goes something like this:

Keep Your Hope Alive
by Rex Alpha*

Looking out for what's ahead, you've got to get to the right mindset
keep strong the will to survive, you've got to keep your hope alive

do it all with finesse, you're ready for what's in the distance
kick it out to overdrive, you've got to keep your hope alive

You're up there on the front line, streaking through the pipeline
you're not going to make it nosedive, you've got to keep your hope alive

Your mind controls your destiny look out for the opportunities
Keep that positive drive, you've got to keep your hope alive

You've got to keep your hope alive
You've got to keep your hope alive
You've got to keep your hope alive
alive

* Ollie North referred to something called "Rex Alpha" as the secret government that Raygun would give power to back when he was lying during the Iran-Contra scandal. It is also a "band" where I write, produce and record the instruments/songs/video.

Speaking of video, one is coming and should be on YouTube sometime soon. Enjoy!
