“This music unites, inspires, uplifts. And whether it's for a kid listening to a radio in his upstairs bedroom or it’s in front of vast assemblies of people in giant stadiums, whether the song's about loneliness or love, or it's asking to give peace a chance, or if it's just about being on your own, with no direction home, this music has crossed all boundaries of race and religion, and politics, and nations, and even finally generations, and no one can stop it, no matter how hard they tried. The building we built shall remind us of that energy, and that power forever.”
