The song’s lyrics are: This damned world could all fall apart. You’ll be fine, follow your heart.”

Alexander added: “To perform the song again after such a long time is a great honor because we all have a deep respect for Beau’s military service and such high hopes for unity and normality will restore the atmosphere and perfection of our country again in this time of crisis.”
