Rafka's RST
Bio
Rafka has been singing for fun since she was a little girl. She took lessons on the recorder in the 3rd grade and guitar lessons in the 5th grade, but did not continue due to boredom. More recently, she picked up the guitar again and began to teach herself, she also managed to begin learning the piano. Although she isn't as experienced with instruments, she takes pride with what she has managed to accomplished. In the 9th grade, Rafka joined Show Choir, which has taught her a lot about music that she never knew as she continues to grow.

Verse 1:
C Em
I try to cheer
G D
It leaves me with fear
C Em
About who I am
G D
And where I stand
C Em
I go on not knowing
G D
All my thoughts are flowing
Chorus:
C Em G D
Life’s a game so take a shot
C Em G D
I’m trying not to lose all that I’ve got
C Em G D
I just need a soft place to land
C Em G D
I need you here, so take my hand
C Em D
I don’t want to be alone
Verse 2:
C Em G
Taking the time to find my way
D C
It leaves me in dismay
Em G
The memories are keeping me awake
D C
As I watch them fade away

I piece them together
G D
Hoping they’ll last forever
