The new Prouty anthem, I Am More, written by Walt Cunningham, director of The Dartmouth College Gospel Choir, was performed for the first time at The Prouty Kick-off party on Thursday, May 8, at the Hanover Inn Ballroom. Thanks to everyone who attended, members of the Dartmouth College Gospel Choir, and the now-famous Prouty singers! And mostly, thank you to all the people who have been touched by cancer for whom this song was written. The Prouty is a charity athletic event that raises money for cancer research and patient services at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Join us as we cycle, walk, row and golf to fight cancer on Saturday, July 12! http://theprouty.org/
"I Am More"
The Prouty Anthem
Celebrating All Who Have Been Touched by Cancer
© Music and Lyric by Walter Cunningham
My wish is to spend each hour
living for today
So join me as I scale this mountain
With strength within like an endless fountain
You might see me down but just take a seat
Each day that I see is "oh so sweet"
I've found my stride and I'm gonna rebuild
And now it's time that I reveal
I am Victor
A Survivor
And a Conqueror
I am More
We're your wives, and your fathers; and your sisters and your brothers,
Your neighbors, close friends, just loving one another
While on this journey we have one thing in common
That through it all we are so much more
We're braver...than you believe
And we're stronger... stronger than it seems
We are smarter... much more than you think
We are more
We are more
Everyone here deserves the chance
So come along join this dance
And On this day let's all be free
Open your eyes, it's time to see
I am Victor -- I am more
A Survivor -- I am more
And a Conqueror -- I am more
I am More
We're your wives, and your fathers; and your sisters and your brothers,
Your neighbors, close friends, just supporting one another
While on this journey we have one thing in common
That through it all we are so much more
We're braver... than you believe
And we're stronger... stronger than it seems
We are smarter... much more than you think
We are more
I can and I will
I am more
I can and I will
So now when I look in the mirror and see
The hurt and the scars that have now become me
I see that I did it now I'm starting to breathe
Now I can see the forest for the trees
I am Victor...I am More
A Survivor...I am More
And a Conqueror...I am More
I am More
We're your wives, and your fathers; and your sisters and your brothers,
Your neighbors, close friends, just loving one another
While on this journey we have one thing in common
That through it all we are so much more
We're braver... than you believe
And we're stronger... stronger than it seems
And we're smarter... much more than you think
We are more ...We Are More!
Repeat two more times:
We're braver... than you believe
And we're stronger... stronger than it seems
And we're smarter... much more than you think
We are more ... We Are More!
