Right now I'd like to do a song for you that I wrote for my recent record, that I wrote about... well, it's about a lot of people that I've met throughout the country, throughout the world.

People that mean a lot to me.

Children, I want to tell you something.

Jesus called his disciples around him and said, "I'm going to send you out as sheep among wolves."

Sheep among wolves.

He said, "I'm not going to send you alone, though.

I'm going to send you two by two."

Peace.
