Here's a new one from Keith Thompson that's a long time in coming. It's began as a basic demo from Island Groove (Stefano Baldetti and Louis K out of Italy) and turned into an inspired message from Thompson's life. It features a percolating Glen Thornton, Slaag Daddy remix. A full story in a behind the scenes video coming soon. But it's enough to say even he didn't think anyone would want to hear the message, it's better late than never. "Feels like it's the right time now," says Keith.
We hope it moves you and if so, please share it with the world.

lyrics
"When The Morning Comes"
Keith Thompson (BMI), Stefano Baldetti (SAIE), Louis K (SAIE)
(c) 2009 Jamlure International, All Rights Reserved (BMI).
This is dedicated to all the people around the world who are
going through so much and feel so hopeless.
Right now. All have to give you is my heart
and a song.
Keep that guiding light in your heart
And when there's no one else there for you
know one thing, if nothing else. If nothing else,
you will survive. If you strive, you will rise.
'Cause God don't make failures.
God makes champions.
What?! Champions! Yes!
Champions! Know that!
Champions! Sing with me!
(Chorus)
I dream of a better day
So, I keep on and on. Hey-hey!
I trust in my soul
When the morning comes
I'll rise. Hey!
Times may seem hopeless.
Heading down and endless road. Well!
But I know in my heart
when the morning comes, I'll rise. Yeah!
When the morning comes, I'll rise.
When the morning comes, I'll rise.
This world has
so many ways
of fighting you down.
Even loved ones may
not realize
how they dent your crown. Mmmm.
Many times, you'll need to be your
own guiding star.
When no one is there (no one!)
with encouragement
from near or far.
Let me tell you. God don't make failures.
I tell ya. God makes champions.
What?!
Champions. Yes!
Champions! Know that!
Champions!
You're a champion!
Sing!
(Chorus)
I dream of a better day
So, I keep on and on. Hey-hey!
I trust in my soul
When the morning comes
I'll rise. Yeah!
Times may seem hopeless now.
Burdened down with a heavy load. Yeah!
But there's a light in my heart
when the morning comes, I'll rise. Yeah!
When the morning comes, I'll rise. (Carry on!)
When the morning comes, I'll rise. (Carry on!)
When the mor-ning comes, I'll rise. (Carry on!)
When the morning comes, I'll rise. (Carry on!)
When the morning comes, I'll rise.
