SONG: A Rare One by Tricky Britches
Music and Lyrics
Tricky Britches’ guitarist Jed Bresette, inspired by one family’s struggles, created the song "A Rare One" to highlight the life challenges that face rare disease patients. A Rare One serves as an honest declaration of strength in the face of adversity, and the commitment a future illuminated by the shining light of hope.
It's a mighty heavy load - Sometimes it's hard to stay afloat, but
You can always count on me to help you through the stormy seas, and
When you feel like breaking down and giving up,
just look around and
You will find many people who are just like me -
They're just like you
“….and I just want you to know, you are not alone.”
