Seeing this warmed my heart to no end, and is undoubtedly a career milestone for me. In ways many people probably don't understand, this video represents the meaning of this song in every ways. When I wrote it, I did so for power and courage to take to the stage, but also in the hopes that other people would find power and meaning in this song. To the performers, every one of you is so amazing, and you've helped self actualise through this. You really have.
Also, a big thank you to Nicole Kunz, who works at Fulton. This was her idea, and she painstakingly transcribed and translated the lyrics, and then taught the song to the school children.
