I want to thank all of you who have helped build the stage I step on every night. It's a special stage - a sacred stage - not seen with the eyes but felt in my HeArt.
I feel it when I'm playing on the front porch at the local watering hole or on the old band shell in the city park. I feel it when I play at the summer music festivals and community concert series. I feel it in the gymnasium over at the high school and in the grass at the farmers market on Saturday morning.
I feel it on the cold concrete, down in the youth detention center and over at the Moria Refugee Camp. I feel it standing in the dirt, underneath the baobab tree in Kaswanga Village, Kenya. The stage I physically step on looks different every night, but the Reverence is the same. It doesn't matter if I'm playing for 2000 people or 2 bartenders, I know who put me there and Why. That's what makes it Sacred. Thank you.

NEW SONG
"Nothing Left To Lose"
VERSE 1
I've seen some things that I can't forget.
Feels like a buried hatched beneath my chest.
I've seen the best and worst of Humanity.
I'm still holding onto hope because I still believe.
A couple things that I conclude.
A couple times I've been called a fool.
Gonna see this world with both my eyes
Means seeing this world through anothers' eyes.
CHORUS
I'm singing to you. x2
You and you and you
I'm singing to you
Singing to me too.
I'm singing to you.
I got Nothing Left To Lose.
VERSE 2
It's getting real hard trying to find my place.
Getting real hard, trying to relate.
In a vast wasteland of apathy.
Cause there's a couple things that we'd rather not see.
I'm gonna speak up and sing out loud
Gonna sing it up and sing out loud.
Gonna see this world with both my eyes
Means seeing this world through anothers' eyes.
CHORUS

And, thank you to everyone who has helped us by sharing our music and videos over the years. This is a multi-culture, multi-faith movement, grassroots in nature and as ancient as the common bond that connects all of Humanity. What effects you also effects me because we (as humanity) are all in this together.
