Courageous. Determined. Strong.

April 27, 2019 will mark the 3rd anniversary of when a distracted driver ran a red light and t-boned singer/songwriter David Francisco while he was riding his bicycle. On March 29th we will start a 30-day countdown on social media and in the press to celebrate his comeback and the release of his inspirational song, LIONHEART.

To celebrate, we want to highlight a story each day, potentially YOUR story, as an example of a person with the heart of a Lion.

Your story - Featured all day!

On your appointed day, David will post on his social media a link to your story. Throughout the day, he will post insta stories on instagram and Facebook, talking about how your story affected and inspired him.

A Higher Calling

We are working with the non profit Celebrate Overcoming to give away copies of the music to people in hospitals and rehab centers who have recently suffered a traumatic injury.


Lionheart - The Song

Here is a PREVIEW of the song. The full song will be officially released on April 27, 2019.

I have the heart of a lion, there’s a spirit inside of my bones that makes me alive
I have a fighting desire, when the darkness is closing in, I’ll be the light

Somehow when everything’s wrong, I know I’ll be alright.
Just when my faith is gone, hope will arrive
Somehow when I can’t move on, I find the strength to survive
Cause I have a lion heart

I may seem weak to the world, I may never be fast or as strong as I want to be
I am a runner on the inside, and no one can stop me now, I’m on fire

Somehow when everything’s wrong, I know I’ll be alright
Just when my faith is gone, hope will arrive
Somehow when I can’t move on, I find the strength to survive
Cause I have a lion heart

You can do more than you know
You can do anything, anything is possible
You can do more than you know, do you believe?

You have the heart of a lion.
There is courage inside of your bones
Don’t you believe?
