I'm easily inspired either by personal experiences, things said in conversation, being given a challenge, or being moved or amused by something. Many genres.

Story behind the song
Sung beautifully I think by Sarah Doggett, it's an inspirational song and one of five which are on a resource database of new music for schools in the UK. I'm very grateful for the lovely interpretations of the song by the Mexborough Male Voice Choir (UK) Also, a good friend Dieter in Germany kindly used the song for one of his videos while working as a helicopter pilot in Africa.

Lyrics
Keep a hold of your dreams, The dreams to make your life go as you want it to, Keep your feet on the ground that makes The hard rocky road to where you’re going. If you’re strong through it all, You will reach your goal somehow, It’s not where you’re coming from But where you’re making for that matters now. CHORUS Keep your foundations strong and expectations high, If they call you a dreamer it’s true, so let it ride, Keep your foundations strong and expectations high, Throw your coins into the wishing well that stands On the golden sands of time. Keep a hold of your dreams And do all that you can to realise them, Keep a hold of your dreams Even if you ever need to change direction. If you’re on that road alone, Or maybe with another optimistic dreamer, Remember, even if you fall, There’s still a chance that you can have it all. CHORUS Keep your foundations strong, and expectations high, If they call you a dreamer, it’s true, so let it ride, Keep your foundations strong and expectations high, Throw your coins into the wishing well that stands On the golden sands of time. If you’re strong through it all, You will reach your goal somehow, It’s not where you’re coming from But where you’re making for that matters now. Keep a hold of your dreams, Keep a hold of your dreams, Keep a hold of your dreams As I hold on to mine, Keep your foundations strong and expectations high, Throw your coins into the wishing well that stands On the golden sands of time.

Beautifully composed song and just as beautiful vocal by Sarah, I could hear this song in a movie.
