"The concept? Just living life, and all the things that make life worth living... music, dance, someone who loves U for U, a nice car, good lovin, good times.. thats the re-defenition of American Dream!!"
-MikeLyrik
The themes of this contest made me want to be a participant?living
your dream, daring, hoping, and reaching higher. We all need some
inspiration in our lives, whether it's getting through a tough day, or
trying to achieve your goals. I am so blessed to have people around
me that always encourage me to strive for my dreams, even when I get
weary and discouraged at times. I wanted to write words of inspiration
that could help uplift someone else if they ever started feeling the
way I have felt at times. I think we all have the ability to keep
going and achieve our best, and it's important for us as people to
boost and support each other. If this song and video can do that,
then I have done my job. I am truly grateful for this opportunity.
Enjoy!
I'd also like to send out a special thank you to the people who helped
me put this project together: Doris, Manuel, and the Yaras family.
I am from Melbourne, Florida and this is for everyone. My aim is to inspire and promote change! Listen deeply and follow your heart for the vote. Peace and God Bless!!

This song is really about acheiving your personal American dream, whatever that may be. The message I am trying to get across is this: don't ever let anyone's negativity get between you and your dream. You can do anything if you put your mind to it, as long as you stay positive.
I had a lot of fun doing this, I hope you all like it! Please vote 5 stars for me!! Good luck to everyone! Muah :]
Hey Beautiful People! This song is personal in it gives me an opportunity to share my inner most thoughts and dreams to share life through the truth in love. But the message in the melody is also universal in that we all have dreams and desires that we're striving for and it ain't over 'till it's over! And we may not all be where we wanna be, but thank God we're not where we used to be. It's all about progress- that's what I mean when I say that I'm "on my way". Because once upon a time there lived a dream to see beyond reality...Now at the dawn I rise and shine until I reach my highest high...
Peace & Blessings!
What inspired me to do this song is the LOVE I have for MUSIC....
Life is a challenge and you are the challenger, remember!!!
Just trust your instincts and believe in your dreams, don't let no one
and nobody bring you down and keep pushin' forward!
The sky's the limit, SO REACH HIGH!!!
Thanks to everybody for helpin' me out with this project!!!
Peace, Love & Success.
Your Girl,
SILVIA
Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I wrote "Reach" just for YOU ...a person with big dreams that someday would like for them to become their reality. Many of us are trapped in jobs that we hate, unhappy with our lives, and just living day-to-day, all because we've given up on our dreams. Through this song and video, I hope to inspire you to hold on to your dreams and not let the curve balls that life pitches, strike you out (a little cheesy, but you get the idea).
"Reach higher than the sky..." and claim what's yours. At the end of the day, you'll be glad you did.
I hope you enjoy and God Bless!!!

This song is called "Yes We Can." Together we can accomplish anything, but it takes hard work, determination and persistence. Along the way, we learn, we grow and we accomplish small goals and gain the tools and knowledge we need to succeed (symbolized by the items of clothing). We, as people, have been hurting and struggling for too long. It is now time for us to rise up and overcome, for if we sit in the rainy courtyards of life forever, we will never make it to the sunny rooftops. Remember that, and I hope to see you all there on the roof one day soon. Can we make it? Yes We Can. If you love great music, check out my group AHMIR at www.myspace.com/ahmirmusic.
I'd like to thank May Upiya, Mark Robertson, my manager Michael Cheung and The Lord Above for participating in the making of this video.

I met this man a couple years ago. He said some very wise words to me that have continued to inspire the way I live my life to this day. He said, "Work hard, dream big, and you'll go far. That's how I got my idea for the song.:)

LINCOLN SPOTLIGHT CONTEST
"Higher" is a song about conquering obstacles while trying to live out the American dream. The best in us is only revealed when we strive to sore higher no matter what the odds. The featured video expresses my interpretation of the American dream, which is the pursuit of happiness through my family, my two beautiful daughters and loving friends. My life has been plagued with countless trials and tribulations. However, I dare to dream higher and have always believed in myself. I have kept faith that nothing is impossible. America is the greatest nation in the world because despite the circumstances in which people were born, we are reminded every day that it is our right, our duty and our calling to dream Higher... If you can dream it, then you can believe, always imagine it? nothing is impossible.
