    The beauty of Avi's writing and the choir's soul really knows how to hit you right in the heart. Singing this with you all was a true blessing.

      Hobawea I was getting nostalgic to hear this beautiful stand out song again, and I saw your comment. It brings back memories of when I met you, & I’m so happy that you were able to come back! Keep singing lovely one, you have a gift, one of many. I am blessed to know you.

    That pause, after singing stops & before applause starts... clear sign that the audience was also moved & entranced. Pure EXCELLENCE!
    Thank You All!

    Avi's songwriting is graceful and deep. The melody of this piece is beautiful. The arrangement they did is stunning and these kids performed it with so much passion. Just what I needed today, thank you!

      @@jeancaldwell5391 That is actually Rob directing. He was one of the behind the scenes guys on the Sing Off just like Ben.
      The 3 of them have been friends forever.
      Rob is co-founder of ACA with Avi and Ben, teaches other A capella workshops and camps, has a great podcast.
      Rob is a great beatboxer and he and Avi taught the bass and beatboxer in Citizen Queen. They work with the basses and vocal percussionists in A CaPop Kids.
      Rob Dietz arranged this, Avi wrote it, and the two of them worked with the choir on this presentation.
      Rob is amazing, he is just behind the scenes so people don't know.
      Ben is with PTX most of the time.

    LYRICS
    Planted deep down in my soul
    I could feel the roots take hold
    Through the years I watched it grow
    From the earth I dug and the seed I sow
    Let the heavens fall and the fire rain down
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    Let the oceans try and wash me out
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    Before I saw the light of day
    I was ploughing deeper than (inaudible)
    But I broke my way through (inaudible)
    To feel the sunlight on my face
    Let the heavens fall and the fire rain down
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    Let the ocean try and wash me out
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    Rising up into the blue
    I felt my heart would break in two
    When the thunder rolled the storm came through
    That I was slayed but my roots stayed true
    To the earth I dug and and the seed I grew
    Let the heavens fall and the fire rain down
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    Let the ocean try and wash me out
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    I swear that I will hold my ground
    Sorry that I couldnt get some parts. Please reply if you do know it :)

      See if that is what you hear.
