A Part of You - Reese Oliveira - Official Music Video (HXP Ghana - Humanitarian Experience)

A Part of You - the official music video!
In the summer of 2023, I had the amazing opportunity to work alongside 21 other teenagers and young adults as we built a school and laid the foundation for a mental health center in Assin Fosu, Ghana, Africa, as part of the HXP (Humanitarian Experience) program! It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life! I met so many wonderful children and families! Ghana will always hold a special place in my heart.
While I was serving these families, I realized that this experience matched the feelings in my heart of my song, “A Part of You.” This project has taken me many hours-I had 652 videos that I had to narrow down to this three-and-a-half-minute music video! Hopefully, as you watch you can feel the love I have for these amazing children, families, and my fellow HXP builders.

LYRICS:
The steps we’ve taken and the ones we’ll take
Have carved a path of who we are
Memories on the wall, like artwork I’ll hang
And seeps inside our hearts
A part of you
It’s all a part of you
A part of you
Every moment good or bad
Has led us here right now
It does no good regretting
Or to change it all somehow
All we can do is do the most
With whatever time we’re given
It’s a part of you
It’s all a part of you
Every moment good or bad
It’s all a part of you
Oh oh
Here we are dusting off the records
Flipping through the pages
I’ll never forget
Pages turn to memories
Moments into pictures
A sketch etched in time
I’ll never forget
Every moment good or bad
Has led us here right now
It does no good regretting
Or to change it all somehow
All we can do is do the most
With whatever time we’re given
It’s a part of you
It’s all a part of you
Every moment good or bad
It’s all a part of you
All the late nights
All the long drives
The best of times with you
Every lesson you learn
Every bridge you burn
It will be a part of you
Every moment good or bad
Has led us here right now
It does no good regretting
Or to change it all somehow
All we can do is do the most
With whatever time we’re given
It’s a part of you
It’s all a part of you
Every moment good or bad
It’s all a part of you
A part of you
The steps we’ve taken and the ones we’ll take
Have carved a path to who we are
