Please, let us know if you are inspired to MAKE ANOTHER TRANSLATION into the language we still don't have and if you are moved to create the poetic version of the entire song or a verse in another language (or, may know a translator and/or a poet in another country).
We also welcome all forms of COLLABORATIONS (click to contact the creator), including both traditional and out-of-the-box.
We would be thrilled to know that the content of the song had inspired manifestations in various genres (such as jazz, rock, a capela group, gospel choir, etc.), since our message needs to reach out to as many hearts as possible. That is why, the song's ideas should be heard by the audiences of ALL music genres.
