An anthem of self-empowerment and courage. Commissioned by The Women's Hope Chorale with text by poet Julia Pritchett, Follow Your Voice speaks directly to anyone who has struggled to claim their own path. The music moves from hesitant questioning to bold declaration, building to a thrilling affirmation: "Trust yourself and go!" This piece resonates deeply with women's choirs, therapeutic ensembles, and any group exploring themes of identity, agency, and transformation.
Perfect for: Women's choirs, empowerment-themed concerts, graduations, therapeutic or community choirs, programming around self-discovery
All my life, I've listened to those around me.
Followed others, followed orders
Sneaking parts of myself in between
And I used to think it was enough.
It used to be enough...
But now i'm ready to try something new
I'm scared, but I'm ready
To follow my voice
To do things my way
And I know you have the courage to do the same!
Follow your voice
Choose your own dreams!
Stop waiting for someone
To tell you what to do
Or who you're supposed to be!
Follow your voice,
Be yourself and be proud
Follow your voice,
Take a chance, set your course
Follow your voice,
Trust yourself and go!
Set free what's already inside
And listen, listen
Listen to your voice!
