Following is a video clip of 2013 Faith and Fellowship Award Winner and longtime organizer of our Conference’s longtime and very popular Open Mic program Michel Skinner (http://www.nyaprs.org/e-news-bulletins/2013/005688.cfm).
Michael is a hero in our mental health and abuse survivor community.
In this clip, he performs a new song, “Joy,” which he used to close his conference presentation entitled “The Silence of Suicide”.
The clip is part of Michael’s my participation with the 1BlueString Campaign to raise awareness on males who have been sexually abused/assaulted.
“JOY”© Michael Skinner Music
There’s joy in knowing what I have found
There’s joy in knowing that I’m still around
There’s joy in knowing that I still care
Joy in knowing you’re still there
Joy in knowing you’re still there
I’m so glad you’re still around
Thanks for sharing not kicking me down
Something so simple yet it’s so profound
A life to live a life to give your hand held out
Joys of wonder laugh out loud
No more secrets I’ve let them out
It’s tears from laughter and it’s time to shout
There’s joy in knowing I’m still around
There’s joy in knowing you’re still around
I’m so glad you’re still around
Thanks for sharing not kicking me down
Something so simple yet it’s so profound
A life to live a life to give your hand held out
There’s a life to live and a life to give your hand held out
There’s joy in knowing what I have found
There’s joy in knowing that I’m still around
There’s joy in knowing that I still care
Joy in knowing you’re still there
Joy in knowing you’re still there
Yes it’s joy in knowing you’re still there
Yes it’s joy in knowing you’re still there
