"Music is a very powerful, tangible tool. Both your mind and body become so engaged in the music, you don't have any room to think about the dark thoughts that would plague you otherwise. Music can help you cope. My team and I will provide these tools to you."

"Gaps in the system, no place to go
Hand of a stranger, hope for tomorrow
