Thank You to Messmer Supporters

     The Messmer High School Choir performed a song thanking Messmer supporters at the annual Portraits in Leadership Dinner on November 4th at the Pfister Hotel. See video at left of the performance.
     Below are the lyrics customized for the occasion, inspired by this year's Spiritual Theme, "Build a Strong Foundation."
Defying Gravity (Thank you Supporters!)
Something has changed within me 
Somehow I'm not the same.
I'm part of something bigger,
Inside I feel a growing flame.

With solid ground beneath me
A foundation running deep,
Now I can trust my power,
I can close my eyes and leap!

You help me try defying gravity
Now I can fly, defying gravity--
Nothing can bring me down!

I'm not accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so.
I won't hold back my spirit,
You've shown me how to let it go!
That solid ground beneath me,
A foundation made of love
Gives me the strength to flourish
With help from up above!

Because of you I'm defying gravity
With all you do I’m defying gravity--
No one can pull me down!

You give me wings for defying gravity
My spirit sings, I’m defying gravity--
Nothing can bring me down!

So if you care to find me
Look to the bluest sky
Because you live the credo:
“Everyone deserves the chance to fly!”
Now I’m not flying solo,
Now I’m just flying free
Because of those who ground me
And help me be a stronger me.

Because of you, I’m defying gravity
With what you do, I’m defying gravity
And soon I’ll reach a great renown.
And nothing, no one, not a cause
No challenge, that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!  I can fly!
