"I ask for one day where I don't have to hear about pain, or life that's lost. I ask for one day where whispers of hope are alive inside my heart." These words, written by 12 year old Claire Latimer for a choral workshop were so moving, they inspired this marvelous work. A song that motivates us all to work for peace, this arrangement is very appropriate for children's community, middle school or younger high school ensembles. 10881214 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 l i carry your heart with me—Michael John Trotta.
