The Story Behind A Walk Through Fire

I wrote parts of this song while I was in high school. I heard a melody on an animated cartoon I watched on the television. I don’t remember the name of the cartoon I was watching. However, I really liked the melody of the song the character sang and sat down at the piano to figure it out. I couldn’t remember most of the chord progression so I added my own progressions and melodic line. The rest of the piece was written while I was student teaching in 2000.
