If our fear is stronger than our hope then our nation will never be great…it will just be scared and afraid and very alone. The world is changing, people are evolving. America is a better place when EVERYONE has a seat at the table and they are secure in the fact that they matter. The future is a place where individuals of all creeds, color, orientation and heritage will have a responsibility in moving the country forward, not back. As President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”

Are we going to be America the great and beautiful or something else? Fear not is mentioned in scripture. Maybe that is a lesson we should all heed.

A song, a lyric, a stanza can speak louder than a protest. Anthems and rhythm can resonate in such a way to move people to action. Sometimes a tune can change the world. We have music in our lives that speak to us in an intimate and profound way. You can say a lot in the notes and words that stick with you and come up from memory. We all need music to say what we can’t say on our own.

Music can be subversive, confrontational, inspirational, transformative and soul-stirring. Music can sound the call to war or it can rally people for peace. There is power in a song. The thing about music is that its timeless and generational at the same time. You hear your heart when you hear people singing from their hearts. It can be nonsense to one person but incredibly meaningful to another.

So whether its a record, a CD, an 8-Track a cassette, on your personal music player or live in person or from an instrument you play you are powerful.
