This track is probably is the most important track on this collection of songs. It means the most to me anyway.
It was written with a sense of empowerment to the people after a long sense of hopelessness in the early 2000's. Having a voice. Voting. Change.
It has three verses. The first verse is about helping each other and not hurting each other.
The second verse is about President John F Kennedy.
The third verse is about my banjo player, Shankar, achieving citizenship to United States of America and the President Barack Obama and the night he was elected.
