After watching the WVU vs. Oklahoma game in Glendale, I realized something - Great things come to those who never stop believing.
After losing a key game to Pitt, losing a coach to greed, and losing a shot at the national championship game, they pulled through and showed the country what they're made of.
Bill Stewart and The Mountaineers inspired me to write this song about not letting other people quit. Instead, people should lift each other up and give each other hope.
Hope you all enjoy!
much love,
chris
Cherish (Original)
by Chris Cendana
Copyright 2008
I remember you in autumn leaves
In the river underneath the trees
I can feel your heartbeat in the breeze
Crossing this bridge
Watching closely I can see debris
From the cigarette burned at your feet
With your arms stretched out to feel release
Let them embrace you
The world is fighting now
People falling to the ground
What makes it right to end it now?
Cherish your life
Though the bad can get worse
Strap on your converse and say
Let's walk off the night
Get off the ledge
And cherish your life always
As the cold begins to shiver knees
Your lungs pump out what you can't see
Hands cry out and bleed in misery
Please offer it up
The last thing I want to see
Is doubting what you mean to me
Whom I love love love
Cherish your life
Though the bad can get worse
Strap on your converse and say
Let's walk off the night
Get off the ledge
And cherish your life always
Always always
offer it up
Cherish your life
Though the bad can get worse
Strap on your converse and say
Let's walk off the night
Get off the ledge
And cherish your life always
Hug someone. :)

Thank for a your beautiful song. Everyday I listen to this song, I'm reminded to turn to God when things get bad and being inspired to lift other up. Mahalo, malama pono.
This song is a feast for the senses. Food for a hungry heart and a drink for a thirsty soul. Inspiring! thanks for sharing your gift.
Hace 13 años que conozco está canción cuando alguien me la mostró jamás dejé de escucharla. 13 años después la escucho y me recuerda a él.
Increíble canción, voz, sonido. Me encanta
Well put Chris.. you are absolutely right and I concur with you: we should all help one another to push our selves towards the greater good for ALL. Supporting and caring for one another.
The world that we live in should no longer be about the self, but rather the ALL. ONE LOVE.
This song dips and dives at the right places; it lifts my mood and I want you to know that.
Thank you Chris.
Peace, Love and Harmony to All.

Thank you so much for this right now. I remember favoriting this song a while back, and decided to watch it again...
I really needed this. It's funny how certain songs are just really good, but later you actually experience the emotions. That's what I love about music. It conveys emotions, and provides a way for people to relate in a way that the probably couldn't with just a story. You are good at telling stories Chris, with your music ... :)
I'll get away from the ledge, thank you
this is THE best song.

*adds to favorites*
btw, Cherry aka thebathroomgirl was jamming with me yesterday, and we both concluded that you ARE gifted; not just with your music, but your 'aura'. There is a pureness about you Chris and we fell that although I world at the moment is ran by money, greed and power, people like yourselves remind us to look beyond this materialism and look towards hope.
Don't get big headed: this is purely what we think of you and feel that whoever sees your videos feels the same as we do.
wow what a beautiful song. this song is very personal for me and i thank you for writing it. :)
sherri: only girls who can do constant handstands are wonderful. i'm just emotional. :P
