Asheville, North Carolina singer-songwriter Hannah Kaminer completed a 48 hour residency in July, 2015, and penned this song inspired by her time in Indy.

Lyrics:
If you love me, bring me to life
Don’t you run home (to the suburbs)
Don’t you change your mind
Let these buildings be the place you thrive
If you love me, I will come alive

	I’m your mother			I’m the train
	I’m your city				through your heart
	I’m your sister			traveling on into the night
	So make me pretty		if you love me, I will come alive

Chirping birds and cooing trains
A hundred lonely people 
Finally have a place
Take your time, where you’re going,
Put a name to that face
Love will run like a river through these roadways

		Break your silence
		Your gaze on the ground
	Plant your roots in the driest part of town
		Being lost ain’t so bad,
		If you can tell when you’re found
	If you love me, I will blossom in this dry ground


Come Alive - Hannah Kaminer

"I'm Gonna Walk It With You"
Words & Music ©2016 by Brian Claflin & Ellie Grace. BMI

well it looks like it might be a hard road, but I’m gonna walk it with you
And I know you might have a heavy load, but I can carry some too
I will lift you up when they push you down,
I will raise my voice and stand my ground
well it looks like it might be a hard road, but I’m gonna walk it with you
And it looks like it might be a long night, but I ain’t goin’ nowhere
And I know it’s gonna be a hard fight, but I will stay right here
I will shine a light in the darkest hour
I will face the man in the tallest tower
Well it looks like it might be a long night, but I ain’t goin’ nowhere
I will work! (I will work!) I will fight! (I will fight!)
I will strive in the name love
I will speak! (I will speak!) I will shout! (I will shout!)
I will sing it to the skies above
Well it looks like it might be a perilous climb, but I will follow your lead
And I know it might be a long time until the last one of us is freed
But I will hold on tight, stay by your side
I will be with you for this whole damn ride
Well it looks like it might be a perilous climb, but I will follow your lead
well it looks like it might be a hard road, but I’m gonna walk it with you
And I know you might have a heavy load, but I can carry some too
I will lift you up when they push you down
I will raise my voice and stand my ground
well it looks like it might be a hard road, but I’m gonna walk it with you
I’m gonna walk it with you
I’m gonna walk it with you
I will walk! (I will walk!) I will climb! (I will climb!)
shine my light the whole night through
because it looks like it might be a hard road, but I’m gonna walk it with you

I'm Gonna Walk It With You (Claflin-Grace) live at Jubilee, Asheville NC

The Sky Is Not The Limit

Fearless

Into the Flame
(for Brook, and Kyle) Written in support of Brook, in memory of Kyle. Performed at Kyle's memorial service at Haywood Congregation.

bearer of radiant sun in the sky
iron willed wolf spirit child
too free to be caged, wise beyond age
by turns both captive and wild

your heart is a compass to chaos
the threat and the thrill of the game
but if you gaze at the glow of a candle
you don’t have to fly into the flame

savoring decadent grudges		
we issue indignant demands
but clutching hot coals meant for some other soul
you only will burn your own hands

face down in distorted reflection
one can drown in the shallows of shame
you can gaze at the glow of a candle
but you don’t have to fly into the flame

yarnspinner, wordslinger, teller of tales
narratives tangled and torn
sounder of sorrows whose songs go unsung 
tender of rose and of thorn

continue to witness the unseen
keep giving the nameless a name 
fall into our arms, let us catch you
breathe deeply and sit with the pain 	

reach for the star you have summoned
and rest in the warmth of her name
today let us each light a candle
but please don’t fly into the flame

you don’t have to fly into the flame
