about
This song was written as part of our Real Project essential question: "What Distinguishes Music From Noise?".
This song is our final outcome. The students worked in groups to write lyrics around the themes of resolve and determination. We then combined lyrics from each group to form one final set of lyrics. Finally, we took our talents to Frank Marshall, head of music at Ark Academy Putney, to record our song in their recording studio.
Lastly, this song is a charitable effort. We decided on our school charity, the NSPCC, as our charity of choice. If you are able to donate, please visit the link below to make a donation.

lyrics
Verse #1
Your dreams will need a lot of resolve, as you get older you will evolve
Want to succeed just listen to me, don’t let people block you from your dreams
Write the song that you believe, don’t let yourself be deceived
I’m not giving up today, cause I’m gonna choose my own way
Chorus:
Keep on dreaming, never give up
Keep on fighting, never give up
Teamwork brings people together
We can use it to make the world better
Verse # 2
It’s no matter, you’re the same as me, we’re gonna drive the car to victory
Resolve is a work of glittery gold, do your best and it’s a joy to behold
It doesn’t matter if you’re really buff, but your mind still has to be tough
We are brave knights that will never surrender, we keep on trying so always remember
Chorus
Verse # 3
Dream about passion, dream about love,
Don’t be miserable, you’ll fly up above
Never stop dreaming you can touch the clouds,
Shine like a star and make yourself proud
Chorus
Verse# 4
Keep on dreaming, and always be kind
This energy, flashes through my mind
It’s called resolve, you can have it too
You have to try and push on through
Chorus x2
