about
Composed by Samuel Mann for Little Pink Houses of Hope, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization. LPHOH provides free beach vacations to families and couples in the midst of a breast cancer battle. The retreat week includes accommodations, meals and activities and allows families to reconnect, away from daily struggles with bills, treatments, and doctors. Founded in 2010, LPHOH will serve over 170 families this year, but the demand is far greater. Help them grow by purchasing this song. It costs $563 to fund each family's free vacation, hence the price of this song...if 100 generous people buy it, you've all made a difference! Please go to littlepink.org and read all about this organization.

LYRICS
I have worn the ribbons, I have known the fight
Pink is for the people, gathered here tonight
Bonded by our letter, tested in our time
Hope is surely with you, come and ease your mind
Tell me that you're mine
Leave behind the chemo, see no doctors soon
Paddleboard this morning, hike this afternoon
Sitting on the seashore, sipping on a drink
Feeling very good now, trying not to think
It happened in a blink
Little Pink, it's a good good place
Its filled with grace, it's a good good place
At Little Pink, you're gonna taste and drink from life
And good old days
Glory be the sunset, giving all its worth
Pelicans perfecting, dancing on the surf
Time spent with these families, I have come to know
Gives me motivation, keeps me on the go
I will tell you so
Little Pink, it's a good good place
It's filled with grace, it's a good good place
At Little Pink, you're gonna chase familiar life
And good old days, and good old days
I have worn the ribbons, I have known the fight
Pink is for the people, who we miss tonight
