they teach them to climb 107 00:05:41,690 --> 00:05:44,649 then they can push themselves to the limits 108 00:05:44,649 --> 00:05:47,143 gracefully moved to fear and doubt 109 00:05:54,403 --> 00:05:57,599 to learn respect for our natural resources 110 00:05:58,529 --> 00:06:01,040 because if they can admire nature's true colours 111 00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:04,269 they can begin to see the beauty in all things 112 00:06:04,859 --> 00:06:06,568 to be aware of those inconspicuous 113 00:06:06,568 --> 00:06:08,516 and overlook details of life 114 00:06:09,146 --> 00:06:11,004 I want to

00:06:25,770 to teach them to play 122 00:06:25,770 --> 00:06:27,370 cause if they can play they can sing 123 00:06:27,370 --> 00:06:29,507 and if they can sing then they can dance 124 00:06:30,017 --> 00:06:32,337 and when you dance, you celebrate 125 00:06:32,931 --> 00:06:34,956 it is all connected 126 00:06:37,056 --> 00:06:38,715 these lessons will teach them 127 00:06:38,715 --> 00:06:40,312 to express them self 128 00:06:42,472 --> 00:06:44,062 and if I build it 129 00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:46,886 then I can teach them hard work 130 00:06:46,886 --> 00:06:49,137 dedication,

from the ultimate highs 137 00:07:12,837 --> 00:07:15,613 to the lowest that brought me to my knees 138 00:07:16,593 --> 00:07:18,955 there has been one constant 139 00:07:19,825 --> 00:07:22,748 something that stayed with me through all of this 140 00:07:24,058 --> 00:07:26,020 like a home on the road 141 00:07:26,830 --> 00:07:28,960 a comfort disguises armor 142 00:07:30,668 -->
