Going on a ride today
Now it’s time to get away
Go anywhere you want to go
Drive down that road

Find that dream you haven’t found
Making every moment count

If you don’t go, you’ll never know 
Drive down that road

Drive Down that Road jingle 30 second version

50 to 100 verse/chorus

I'm Not Done v/ch

When God Asks Me MG6

Sleepwalking MG1

V1
I’m tired of going through the motions,
Wakin’ up feelin’ beaten and broken
Tryin’ to figure out what I’m supposed to do (ooh)

Can’t shake the feelin there’s something better
And everything is gonna come together
No more sittin on the sidelines, this is where I come alive (hey)


CRS
I’m gonna write my own, write my own, write my own story
Write my own, write my own, write my own story
Write my own, write my own, write my own story
Oh oh oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna rise and fall, feel the pain and glory
I’m gonna write my own, write my own, write my own story
Oh, oh, oh oh

V2
Nothing can stop me, there’s no turning back
I’m in the fast lane, no brakes, all gas
I’ve been waiting my whole life, and now’s my time
 
CRS
I’m gonna write my own, write my own, write my own story
Write my own, write my own, write my own story
Write my own, write my own, write my own story
Oh oh oh, oh, oh
I'm gonna rise and fall, feel the pain and glory
I’m gonna write my own, write my own, write my own story
Oh, oh, oh oh

BR
I’m lettin’ loose, I’m breakin’ out of my shell
Even if I’m the only one, I’m bettin’ on myself 

(write my own story, write my own story)

WRITE MY OWN STORY

Let Love Write the Book MG3

Matt Glickstein is a songwriter and musician born and raised in Kaneohe, Hawaii. His commitment to helping the environment, his community, and those in need has led him to writing Songs for a Better World.
 
Songs For a Better World was inspired by the tragic events that took place in Japan’s earthquake and tsunami of March 2011. Glickstein was moved to create a music video tribute to bring comfort to all those affected, and composed Steppingstone: A Benefit Ballad for Japan.
 
In January 2012, Glickstein collaborated with students from Lanai High and Elementary School to write and record several songs and music videos. Working together with their classroom teacher, Sandy Patterson, Glickstein and Lanai’s fourth grade class (Class of 2020) wrote songs about peace (Singing to the World), the environment (Every Day is Earth Day and Being Green), and more. The children’s passion inspired ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro (pictured left) to accompany them in their first music video.
 
The work of Glickstein and his students has generated local, national, and international recognition. The Singing to the World music video was shown worldwide during two Dalai Lama events in Honolulu in April 2012, and the song was also selected as a finalist in the John Lennon Song Writing Contest. The Every Day is Earth Day music video won the Debris From the Sea Contest, as well as the Project Earth 2012 Earth Day Contest (national).  Dream What Could Be Done, a song and music video about Hawaii’s homeless, was featured in the Huffington Post, and Glickstein was selected to be the opening speaker at the Statewide Homeless Awareness Conference. In honor of their accomplishments, Glickstein and his students were formally recognized by the Maui County Council, and received a Proclamation from Maui County Mayor Alan Arakawa. 
 
In November, 2012, One World, a music video about the past, present, and future of Lana’i, and the hopeful realization of Larry Ellison’s vision, was selected as the winner of the Eia’o Lana’i Film and Video Contest, sponsored by the Four Seasons Resorts Lana’i and the High Maka Maka Film Society.
 
Matt is also the founder and Executive Director of the Lana'i Academy of Performing Arts (LAPA).  He has served as Music Director for every LAPA musical (11) since the organization was formed in 2013.  He also wrote the original musicals "Island Below the Star" (2013) and "Day of Conquest: A Story of Kaululāʻau (2019).   

Matt was awarded one of the highest honors an individual can receive at the 2019 Junior Theater Festival. It is given to a person who has shown that a musical is much more than just a performance – it is an opportunity to make a positive, life-long impact on a young person’s life.
He received an all-expense paid trip to New York City, complete with professional development, Broadway performances and unforgettable celebrations as well as $5,000 from Freddie and Myrna Gershon to enhance the Lanai Academy of Performing Arts arts program.
