This song is based on the life story of Danielle Coppedge who, after her incarceration, worked with documentary songwriters to share her life experience.
Her message to the world is that hardships can leave scars, but they also make you stronger.
This is the second song in the 12 song series “Unlocking Harmony,” based on the lived experiences of people who have been incarcerated and on their growth since their conviction.
