Скачать или смотреть A Daring Adventure (Original Song) - Daniel Mow

Hey, Friends!

This song was inspired by and written entirely using quotes from the wisdom and insight of Helen Keller.

Some of the lyrics are direct quotes, others are paraphrased. All are uniquely uplifting challenging in their own ways, calling us all to live a life of vision, purpose, and connectedness. A most daring adventure, indeed...

This video was shot in beautiful Shell Beach, just North of Pismo on the sunny Central Coast of California. Please enjoy the views! I know I sure did!!! (By the way, the whales were migrating and breaching right behind me! 🐋 Didn't see any when editing, but if you look close, maybe you might see some...)

Verse 1
When I’m all alone, I can only do little,
But together we can do so much
Most beautiful things in the world unseen,
Both out of reach and out of touch
But together, we discover all
We know to be true in our hearts
To walk alone in light’s not better
Than running here with you in the dark

Chorus 1
It’s all a great adventure or nothing
It’s all the same in nature, no such thing
As safety nets, just one-shot life experience
It’s all a daring adventure—
Adventure or nothing at all...

Verse 2
It’s true, the world is filled with the pain
Of a many, hurting broken soul
But with joy, our strength, and unbroken faith
The love we deeply share forms our homes
If we keep our eyes to the sunshine
We will never see the shadows
Just keep our focus on the next door open
Even as the first doors slam closed

Bridge
Perhaps the only fate that’s worse than being blind
Mere existence void of dreams to guide our lives
Hope we together set our sights and so believe
In a future brighter than any we’ve ever seen

Chorus 2
It’s all a great adventure or nothing
It’s all the same in nature, no such thing
As safety nets, just one-shot life experiments (one life-long experiment)
It’s all a daring adventure—
Adventure or nothing at all...

For your enjoyment, here are all of the original Helen Keller quotes that inspired the lyrics!

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

― Helen Keller
