I’m not usually someone that likes to tell people what’s behind my songs. More often than not these things are best left to the imagination. However, someone suggested to me that perhaps I should divulge a little more information on this song; and I think there’s a chance that in this circumstance they might be right.
I originally wrote the lyrics to this song with thoughts of government corruption and a leader being held accountable for their wrong-doings. I saw hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps even millions, lining the streets of my home town, climbing towards a government building where the government leader was hiding.
As time went on, I watched the strong images coming out of Egypt and Libya and the song became more and more powerful to me. I feel a huge mixture of emotions when I perform this. I hope when you watch this you can feel what I feel.
