Chapter 10: Marcus' Talent
After Jojo's heartfelt performance, Marcus was blown away from Jojo's song. He turned to Jojo and said, "That's awesome. I was crying throughtout most of the song."
"Thanks. I'm glad you liked it." said Marcus.
"Now, we're gonna hear the amazing sounds of Marcus Burnett." said the camp director.
"Good luck, man." said Jojo.
"Thanks."
Marcus walked towards the auditorium, to the stage with his guitar. He sat on the stool and said, "This is dedicated to my dad and my new friend, Jojo McDodd. This is for you because you guys are awesome. This kinda relates to any situation you face with your family and I hope you guys feel the same way."
He strums his guitar and sung along as the audience is listening to Marcus' voice.
You know I try to be
All that I can
But there's a part of me
I still don't understand
Why do I only see
What I don't have
When my reality
It's things are not that bad
Your faith has shown me that...
When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah
Now when I start doubting
You help me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
Oh, believe me, there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you
I never saw the way
You sacrificed
Who knew the price you paid
How can I make it right
I know I've gotta try
When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah
Now when I start doubting
You help me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
You believe there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you
And I hope you can see
You're everything that I wanna be, ooh
When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah
Now when I start doubting
You help me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
Oh, believe me, there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you
My hero is you...
The crowd completely cheered and applauded for the song and Marcus' great songwriting chops. Same for his singing. He took a bow and went back to his seat. Jojo looked behind and said, "That was awesome."
"Thanks. I came up with this in just 2 months. I guess it paid off bigger than everything. It was inspiration based on you." said Marcus.
That was "My Hero is You" from Hayden Pannetierre. That song was out before she was known for "Heroes." Hoping it's an awesome chapter.
