_ _ _ _ So the music fills that downtime, [G] helping to give a lot of men of work [Gm] a higher purpose
and _ joy and unity and [G] hope.
They get really [E] good, you know, just being [Em] there all those hours.
It's just amazing [F] what they're able to do.
The music is good, but you also see the [G] power in them to heal, to [C] transform lives, to bring _
life to a new generation of men.
I have some patients [Cm] _ who work [Ab] very hard and [G]
as a result they seek to enjoy that they're
[Bb]
challenged [G] at a high level [E] and that they then rise to [G] that challenge.
There's nothing you can do to help them.
Their [C] musical achievements are amazing.
They're performing with [Eb] Roger Waters at the Kennedy [Bb] Center, the William and Mary on _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Gm] the
is that this musical achievement starts to blossom out in every other aspect of their own life.
Music core [Cm] is growing.
We work with about [C] 15 _ [Em] service members a year.
There are [G] 52 _ [E],000 severely injured since [G] 9-11, _ [Bb] 350,000 returning with traumatic brain injuries,
another 400 [G],000 plus with PTSD, some [F] one million [G] _ disability claims in the VA since 9-11.
[F] We only [G] work with 50 a year.
For me, every [D] single person we work with [A] matters a tremendous deal and it's [Gm] unbelievably gratifying
to work with them.
It's the best thing I've ever done.
[F] And, you know, I'm blown away every day that I come back from the VA, _ but our goal is [Gm] to
expand music core [Bb] so we can work with every single one of the [B] service members who can
use [C] the program.
Music core [G] has become my [D] life's work.
This is what brings them back.
This [Gb] is what helps them.

The ranks fell back.
The enemy attacks for a while. _
The zeal of Richard was held for the price of a few hundred ordinary lives. _ _ _ _ _
It [G] was dark all around.
They were [C] tossed in the ground.
_ The tigers broke free. _ _ _ _ _
_ And no one survived from the royalty to live.
_ _ Come and eat here. _ _ _ _ _
They were all left behind. _
Most of them [G] dead.
The rest of them [C] dying. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That's how the high command took my dad.
_ _ _ From me.
_ _ _ _ And me.
