Story Behind the Song
During the period of my "literary awakening," I stumbled over Steinbeck's, "The Grapes of Wrath." I must admit, the classics do scare me, but this work totally inspired my creative energies...I found myself thinking like a member of the Joad's family, as well as feeling their pain.

"Part of Me"
We never look out to the ocean any more,
We never stop to see the sea,
Whatever happened to me and you,
There's one think left to do,
Take a chance and follow me...follow me...
Part of me is you,
Still I'm so confused,
Hunger drives it out into your view.
Take a deeper breath,
Take a deeper path,
I feel the anger in your eyes,
And I understand you had to go,
There's one thing you should know,
Why we can't control our lives...
It's time to rise...
Part of me is you,
Still I'm so confused,
Hunger drives it out into your view.
What I aim to do,
Is to take care of you,
Hunger drives it out into your view.
