Everyone, please consider sending your own version of this mail to them. Wouldn’t that be excellent if it happens?!

Great song to use for the Olympics!

I've just heard a great song to use for the Olympics. It is by Marty Casey and Lovehammers, on their new self-titled CD, to be released Jan. 24. It's called "Casualty", and is about rising to meet challenges, and competing against yourself.

Here are the lyrics. Pay special attention to the bolded lyrics--just perfect for the Olympics! The musical style is "moving rock anthem".
(You can hear this song by opening the media player at:

Casualty
By Martin Casey and Mitch Allan, 2006.

Nobody’s safe ‘round here no more
Drag this lonely boat from the shore
Cut the ropes that bind me
To save the ones behind me
Nobody’s safe ‘round here no more

No time to wait and see
I live this life for me

Rise and fall
Climb the walls
Won’t stop ‘til I have it all
Persistence, resistance
One man can make a difference
The battle’s inside of me
The fight’s begun but not yet won
And I won’t become one more casualty

The need to find my destiny
Drop my anchors set me free
You don’t know how it feels
Till your hand is on the wheel
Drop my anchors set me free

Rise and fall
Climb the walls
Won’t stop ‘til I have it all
Persistence, resistance
One man can make a difference
The battle’s inside of me
The fight’s begun but not yet won
And I won’t become one more casualty

Nobody says we’re free
We’re drifting through the questions
Swimming for the answers
Try to keep my sanity
Till I reach my destination
And bring you here with me

And I’ll make you believe
I have control
But if I lose myself
How can I save you?

Rise and fall
Climb the walls
Won’t stop ‘til I have it all
Persistence, resistance
One man can make a difference
The battle’s inside of me
The fight’s begun but not yet won
And I won’t become one more casualty
