NEW ‘Dreaming with a Broken Heart’ - Cover by Tim Halperin
Finally! A new cover video! Sorry it took so long, but fitting to close out 2012 with a new video. This year has been amazing, and I love all my Tumblr friends, thanks for all your support :)
Check out the new site: TimHalperin.com
So a flashmob unfolded during my song ‘We Fight Back’ last night and I had no clue what was happening…
I was playing a show in Temecula, California as part of their Race For the Cure, and this is a song I wrote for the fight against breast cancer. All of a sudden, these amazing kids started dancing..they choreographed a whole number to the song. It was an amazing moment!
Here it is! The new Kidd’s Kids song ‘Shining Like the Stars’. Get it on iTunes and all proceeds go to this incredible trip. Get it on iTunes HERE!
Kidd Kraddick started Kidd’s Kids as an organization to take terminally/chronically ill children and their families to Disney World each year. I went on the trip last year and it changed my life. These kids are all heroes, and everyone on the trip smiles the whole time because they are finally able to drop their worries and just enjoy a vacation with everything from park passes and VIP treatment to an entire medical staff at their disposal. I wrote this song from the kids’ perspective. If they were to sing a song while in Disney World, this is what I thought they would sing…and now, they will this year! Please buy the song on iTunes or donate to Kidd’s Kids online. I can guarantee that your money will fund many smiles :)
Lyrics:
SHINING LIKE THE STARS
VERSE 1
Take me to a place where all my dreams come true
Cuz everybody knows I’ve got a dream or two
When we hit the ground there ain’t a thing I won’t do
Tell me what you got, just bring it on!
I close my eyes at night and I’m a hero man
When they see my face, they’ll finally understand
We can see the world, just give me your hand
And nothing’s gonna stand in our way
CHORUS
Shining like the stars
Can you hear them say my name
Here we are
Watch us throw our cares away
And we shine so bright, we light up the darkest night
Here we are
We’re shining like the stars
VERSE 2
Mom she always told me, just how good it would feel
Standing in the sun and I know that it’s real
And all the faces that I meet, they think that I’m a big deal
I tell them I’m just here to have some fun
And it seems that I belong here, I just wish I could stay
But some turns are on this road we all have to take
And I know that I’m a hero and it’s by no mistake
So hold on tight, cuz tomorrow never waits
CHORUS
Shining like the stars
Can you hear them say my name
Here we are
Watch us throw our cares away
Here we go
We don’t even know what’s next
But we know
That’s what makes this life the best
And we shine so bright, we light up the darkest night
Here we are
We’re shining like the stars
BRIDGE
I close my eyes at night, I’m a hero man
And one day they’ll understand
CHORUS
Shining like the stars
Can you hear them say my name
Here we are
Watch us throw our cares away
And we shine so bright, we light up the darkest night
Here we are
We’re shining like the stars
