Sunday afternoon, two o'clock. The masses were gathered in the Stevens's back yard. Everyone was conversing and Steve had a permanent smile plastered on his face. But the people stopped to look when the sounds of the band soon began ring over to their ears.
Randy went through the bass part solemnly and an unknown boy pounded out the drum beat as Twitty and Tawny provided the rest.
" I'm not superman, sometimes I find it hard to stand in this world that keeps you on your toes," Randy sang out, " But if you could see me now. I feel so alive," she kept on getting a glow on her face as she continued to sing and play along with the rest.
" I'm running fast, I'll win this race. I'm not backing down or letting up on my pace. These eyes of mine no longer cry. I've got strength inside I never knew existed. Hello world your mine to own," She continued on
" Dad here, I got you something," Louis said over the band as they continued on
" Louis, you know you didn't have to go spend your money on me," Steve shouted.
" No its okay, really," Louis said, since he didn't pay for it.
Steve opened an envelope and read the little certificate that lay within, " Presented to Steve Stevens on this day, May third, one set of motorcycle lesions curtsey of Angels Motorcycle Shop and the James family. Louis, this is awesome," Steve said with the excitement of a child.
" Yeah, I know," Louis said.
The band played on " Back in my home town, people were out to drag my dreams down. They say ' Rock and roll, you know that stuff's dead, better get those thoughts out of your head'. And yet, I'm standing here today. Ha! Guess you were wrong," Randy kept on and paused as the drummer clicked his sticks and counted to three.
" I'm running fast. I'll win this race. I'm not backing down or letting up on my pace. These eyes of mine no longer cry. I've got strength inside I never knew existed. Hello, hello, hello. I've got dreams inside pouring from my heart, my heart. I'm calling you. These eyes of mine no longer cry. I've found my strength. It lies inside. This world, it's mine," The last notes smacked the air like gold and the end of this chapter came to a close.
