I just finished chemotherapy for breast cancer and ordered your CD/DVD for breast cancer survivors and was stunned by how completely the DVD spoke of my feelings! The first time I saw this video I watched it over and over all afternoon and wept! Finally, someone put to words what I was experiencing emotionally! Music for the Soul helped me through the difficult journey of chemo for breast cancer. Thank you so very much! I have shared it with many other women and will continue to do so!

Music Previews and Lyrics
Wildest Ride on Earth
WILDEST RIDE ON EARTH
Words & Music by Corey Emerson & Steve Siler
It was just an ordinary day
Normal things done in the normal way
In places that I love – with faces I hold dear
A summer day, a rainy night
A child’s laugh, a lover’s fight
A road we traveled well – nothing to fear.
It was just an ordinary day
Then in a moment everything had changed.
Out of the familiar – into the unknown.
I close my eyes, hold my breath
Caught between life and death
I’m gonna have to take this ride alone.
CHORUS
The bar comes down, I’m hanging on
The panic starts to rise
A twist – a turn, the bottom drops
I’m fighting for my life.
My heart pounds, can’t catch my breath
And everything’s a blur
No one wants a ticket
for the wildest ride on earth.
You wish that there was something you could do
You reach for me – I reach for you
Down another valley – again over the top
An open mouth, a silent scream
All our hopes, all our dreams
Who knows when this ride will finally stop?
REPEAT CHORUS
I keep thinking that this nightmare just can’t be
God why is this happening to me?
The ride slows down but is it at an end?
I might have to face it all again
Looking for a reason – longing to be free
Such a scary place to be
My face is in the mirror and my feet are on the floor
I still don’t have the answers, but I’m stronger than before
Living in the moment now for everything its worth
Another brave survivor of the wildest ride on earth

More Beautiful
MORE BEAUTIFUL
Words & Music by Steve Siler
For better or worse, in sickness and health
We knew our vows and we said them so well
Sunshine and happiness were all we could see
And no one was ever more beautiful to me
We laughed and we loved, we ran and we played
It felt like heaven in the home that we made
Our lives were much sweeter than any dream could be
And no one was ever more beautiful to me
You changed everything
You taught me to smile
You brought a new start
You gave me joy untold
On the day you stole my heart
Then we learned that a child was coming to bless
With rocking chairs and teddy bears we feathered the nest
As life grew inside you we knew we’d be three
And no one was ever more beautiful to me
You changed everything
You brightened my world
You shone like a star
You made my life feel whole
On the day you stole my heart
Now I stand helpless and watch you in pain
I wish I could fix this, make it all go away
But here is the one thing that you must believe
No one was ever more beautiful to me
No one could ever be more beautiful to me

Twenty years ago I had a bone marrow transplant for the recurrence of breast cancer and was given a 2 percent chance to be alive in ten years. Today as an author and professional speaker to cancer survivors and oncology caregivers, I’m always searching for outstanding resources. More Beautiful is one of those. The video Widest Ride on Earth touched me so profoundly I just sobbed. Although my tears were rooted in the painful experience of battling cancer for years, the result was a healing deep in my soul. In my opinion, this DVD comes from the hand of God.

I am a breast cancer survivor. I have counseled many women with breast cancer across the United States since my diagnosis in 2004. I have talked to husbands as well. I plan to put this CD in the hands of every husband of a woman with breast cancer. It is perfect.
Julie Elyea
I will share your beautiful discs and use them every time I speak on breast cancer and be sure everyone knows how to get them.
