Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Got to catch my breath.
I am out of shape but --
I am gonna play for you one more song tonight, or this afternoon.
And this is a really meaningful song to me
and I just wanted to tell you a little about what it means to me.
This song is called "Transcendence."
And I wrote it at the time of my life, I was kind of, probably,
at the lowest point of my life.
I didn't quite know who I was.
And I was surprised at the person that I thought I was finding.
And I wrote this song and I called it "Transcendence"
because 'to transcend' means not just
to get through something or get passed something,
but it means to completely overcome something
and become better for it.
So in my own life I found that during that time period
I found passion and I found that I was able express myself through something I love.
And I really think that's kind of what saved me, and helped me in that time of my life.
And I love being able to share it with other people now --
And just like it's been said over and over again,
by finding passion and by sharing with other people
we are able to work from the inside out.
And that's how we find happiness.
So I just want to encourage you all to take what you've learned today
and to transcend.
