TEXT:
Bend, don't break my child
when the winds blow wild
Lean in, then rest a while
Bend, don't break
be brave, my child
when the gale and wave rush by
But you will never bend alone
No one should ever bend alone
I'm here with you, I'm bending, too
And when the wind subsides
you shall rise
But for now
bend low, my child;
bend low.

Raising the bar, Mr. Pederson. Like the “bending notes.” Congratulations to the choir; that, folks, is singing from the heart.

I was in Roosevelts concert choir when we did this piece in 2019/2020. It has came back to me in this particularly difficult season of life, and on some days is my reason for bending rather than breaking. Thank you, Kyle.
