"Can We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart" a new song that was released on August 30, 2024. A call for unity and to heal the divisions of a country through the clean, acoustic sound of guitars and percussion, with lyrics that are socially committed to the fight for understanding. "Can we fix our nation's broken heart? Are we brave enough to try?" Reflects about a nation that finds itself mired in chaos, misunderstanding and pain.

This release comes shortly after his appearance at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in support of Kamala Harris. There he encouraged everyone present to get more actively involved and take advantage of the historic moment that the country and the world are experiencing. In his speech, phrases to keep in mind such as: "And now is the time to understand where we are and what it will take to win — win the broken hearts, win the disenchanted, win the angry spirits. Now is the time. This is the moment to remember, when you tell your children where you were and what you did. As we stand between history’s pain and tomorrow’s promises, we must choose courage over complacency. It is time to get up and go vote!" Later performed "Higher Ground" reminding everyone of the need to rise above divisions and work towards a much brighter future.




Can We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart

Lyrics

Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
Are we brave enough to try? Mm-mm
Can we fix our nation's broken heart
And leave a better world behind?

'Cause if we listen to different thoughts and points of views
All my brothers and sisters, we don't have to lose
Humanity
We're family
So can we please
Fix our nation's broken heart

Children marching down the boulevard
Tears are streaming down their face, oh-oh
Tension in the air is so bizarre
Love has gone without a trace

People pushing and shouting and fighting through the haze
And all this sadness, madness, help me take away the pain
It's gotta change
This can't stay the same
So tell me please
Can we fix our nation's broken heart?

Poverty and homelessness
Can we do away with this?
All we need to is to be giving
For our daughters and our sons
There's a light in everyone
They deserve a new beginning, yeah

Will the light we share survive the dark
Or will it slowly fade away? Ah-ah
Will the light of good be torn apart
And swept away by crushing waves?

We've been floating alone in a dark and bitter cold
'Cause there's a growing ocean of lies that we've been told
To tear us down
But what I've found
Is with our truth, compassion and love
We can fix our nation's broken heart

{Harmonica solo]
Ah-ah
[Harmonica solo]

Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
Are we brave enough to try? Hey-ey
We must fix our nation's broken heart
To leave a better world behind

We've come together with purpose far bigger than you and me
Don't have no time for hatred and negativity
It's you and me
We hold the key
So tell me please
Can we fix our nation's broken heart?

[Harmonica solo]
Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
[Harmonica solo]
I know and you know
We must fix our nation's broken heart
