"I Am Leaving" - Sunrise over St. John Bay

My daughter Sarah sent me a text simply saying that she had a 'new song' to go along with my sunrise pics. Then she sent me the file. This is where a dad's heart swells with pride. Sarah recorded this song for her Symphonic Choir at Stoughton High School where she teaches music. She indicated that it was a nice, uplifting farewell song she wanted them to sing for senior class night. After listening to it, my creative juices started to flow and this video is the result.
Captured with my GoPro camera, I felt that this time lapse sequence of Thursday morning's sunrise over St. John Bay paired nicely with the beauty of Sarah's voice and the message intended for her audience.
