​It's always amazing when you hear a song come across the radio for the first time, that says everything that's in your heart, but you are afraid to say out loud. Thank you, Kenny Chesney, Liz Rose and Travis Meadows.
Kenny Chesney (Feat. Mindy Smith)'s "Better Boat"
Written by Liz Rose and Travis Meadows,

Lyrics:​
I ain't lonely, but I spend a lot of time alone / More than I'd like to, but I'm okay with staying home / My how the last few months have changed / I'm smilin' more despite the pain. 

Chorus:

I breathe in, I breathe out / Got friends to call who let me talk about / What ain't working, what's still hurtin' / All the things I feel like cussing out / Now and then I let it go / I ride the waves I can't control / I'm learning how to build a better boat.

I hate waiting, ain't no patience in these hands / I'm not complaining, sometimes it's hard to change a man / I think I'm stronger than I was / I'll let God do what he does.

If it's working I don't know / When I get done, the thing may not float / But I'm learning how to build a better boat.

​My name is Kristen Steele. I am the fourth solo on the "Dear Evan Hansen Virtual Choir". On Sunday, September 2 at 3:00, I finally got to see Dear Evan Hansen performed. I was there with my son. It's hard to put into words how much this moment will mean to me, but I will try. This my story. The story of why and how I auditioned, and the incredible impact not only the show has had on me, but the honor and timing of being chosen to be included in the Virtual Choir.
