This project interprets the title, LIVE, LEARN, BELIEVE, through the words of Walt Whitman and his poem, Song of the Open Road. Walt Whitman has been called the “Father of American Verse” for his optimistic, democratic and energetic words about and for the people of America. In similar fashion, Song of the Open Road is a ballad about the courage to take on new risks, new ideas and then to learn, live and believe in oneself.
