about

Well if you look up the word "humanitarian"? This song pretty much explains it self. I was very fortunate to have one of the most respected drummers in the world to play on this song. You might of heard of him. Carter Beauford from the DMB (Dave Mathews Band). Shortly after we recorded a few songs for my "Paper Bag" album. He invited me to go on the road and open up for them. Of course I said yes, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever encountered in my life. Thank you Carter Beauford and the DMB for having me. You guys are truly amazing and definitely add to making this world a better place. Stay blessed

lyrics

I'm running to the land of humanitarian,
where men women and children,
of all kinds, are holding hands.
fighting for that common ground,
that has never been found.
intentions for killing, violence and starvation.

Everybody know little Marcy
see her on TV being held by that lady,
she want some funds for school and medicine,
they say 70 cents a day the cost of a cup of coffee.
so to make a change I give some spear change,
so the devil can't maintain his reign, I give to charity.
from hearts we must all do our parts
so the next generation coming up would have a better start.

So I'm running to the land of humanitarian,
where men women and children,
of all kinds, are holding hands.
fighting for that common ground,
that has never been found.
intentions for killing, violence and starvation.

Families diseased with leprosy,
no clean water, no food for the kids to eat.
their short lives with flies in there eyes,
I was the age of two with the flu,
it made my momma cry.
no hardships when I really think of it,
see the less fortunate watching us
take things for granted.
I pack my bags see ya later gotta run,
to complete the revolution
I must join the coalition. Yeah

So I'm running to the land of humanitarian,
where men women and children,
of all kinds, are holding hands.
fighting for that common ground,
that has never been found.
intentions for killing, violence and starvation.
