From the preface:
"There is always work to be done, and throughout history, the singing of songs has accompanied difficult work in an effort to maintain hope and resolve. It is our hope that these songs will take root in the fertile soil of hearts everywhere, and that each of us, one by one, will water the seeds of kindness, compassion, harmony, wonder, beauty, and peace with our individual and collective voices."
