AND GIVES MORE LOVE, ANNOUNCING DETAILS FOR HIS NEW ALBUM
AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 15, 2017
Sometimes this world can be a hard place
We wonder where we go from here
So many hurting bad
Lost everything they had
It’s hard to know what we can do
Give more love
Give more love
It’s what we know we need more of
From the heart, let it start
To flow to everyone
— Give More Love
