I first heard this at Ortigas Center where Gang talked about the butandings and Rock Ed Philippines to a group of employees. I remember I asked Karl Roy to distribute white bands while Nards took photos. It was awesome.
I have heard Noel sing this song many many times, but I have never grown tired of it. It always reminds me that though I am comfortable, a lot of Filipinos are struggling just to have three square meals every day. That I cannot be apathetic to our brothers and sisters who barely make a living peddling anything on the streets regardless of the weather. That even though I cannot give to all of them, I can at least treat them with respect and dignity.
Everyday is a day to be grateful. Everyday is an opportunity to help others.
There is no excuse for complacency. There is no excuse to be unkind.
