Yes, we can.

I will say nothing to this video except to post the comments by the hip-hop artist "Will.I.Am"



I was sitting in my recording studio watching the debates
Torn between the candidates. I was never really big on politics and actually I’m still not big on politics but 4 years ago, me and the black eyed peas supported Kerry. And we supported Kerry with all our might. We performed and performed and performed for the DNC doing all we could do to get the youth involved. The outcome of the last 2 elections has saddened me on how unfair, backwards, upside down, unbalanced, untruthful, corrupt, and just simply, how wrong the world and politics are.

So this year i wanted to get involved and do all i could early. And i found myself torn because this time it’s not that simple. our choices aren’t as clear as the last elections, last time it was so obvious:
Bush and war
vs
no Bush and no war

But this time it’s not that simple and there are a lot of people that are torn just like i am. So for awhile I put it off and i was going to wait until it was decided for me. And then came New Hampshire.

And i was captivated. Inspired.

I reflected on my life, and the blessings I have, and the people who fought for me to have these rights and blessings. And I’m not talking about a black thing I’m talking about a human thing me as a person, an American.

That speech made me think of Martin Luther King. Kennedy. Lincoln. and all the others that have fought for what we have today. what America is "supposed" to be.

freedom.
equality.
and truth.

and thats not what we have today we think we are free, but in reality terror and fear controls our decisions. this is not the America that our pioneers and leaders fought and died for. and then there was New Hampshire.

It was that speech, like many great speeches that one moved me because words and ideas are powerful. It made me think and realize that today we have very few leaders, maybe none

but that speech.

it inspired me
it inspired me to look inside myself and outwards towards the world
it inspired me to want to change myself to better the world
and take a leap towards change
and hope that others become inspired to do the same
change themselves
change their greed
change their fears
and if we change that
then hey
we got something right?

1 week later after the speech settled in me I began making this song I came up with the idea to turn his speech into a song because that speech effected and touched my inner core like nothing in a very long time. it spoke to me. because words and ideas are powerful. I just wanted to add a melody to those words I wanted the inspiration that was bubbling inside me to take over.

so i let it.

I wasn't afraid to stand for something to stand for change I wasn't afraid of fear it was pure inspiration. so I called my friends, and they called their friends, in a matter of 2 days, We made the song and video.

then we put it on the net for the world to feel.

When you are truly inspired, magic happens, incredible things happen, love happens. (and with that combination) love, and inspiration, change happens. change for the better. Inspiration breeds change. Positive change.

no one on this planet is truly experienced to handle the obstacles we face today; Terror, fear, lies, agendas, politics, money, all the above. It’s all scary.

Martin Luther King didn't have experience to lead.
Kennedy didn't have experience to lead.
Susan B. Anthony.
Nelson Mandela.
Rosa Parks.
Gandhi.
Anne Frank.
and everyone else who has had a hand in molding the freedoms we have and take for granted today, no one truly has experience to deal with the world today, they just need desire, strength, courage ability, and passion to change, and to stand for something even when people say it's not possible.

America would not be here today if we didn’t stand and fight for change yesterday. Everything we have as a people is because of the people who fought for change, and whoever is the President has to realize we have a lot of changing to do.

I'm not trying to convince people to see things how i do, I produced this song to share my new found inspiration and how I've been moved. I hope this song will make you feel, love, and think, and be inspired just like the speech inspired me.

that’s all.
