- 16:17Speaker 6: woven into everything you touch, your focus and vision summoned
- 16:24Speaker 6: into being what most would call impossible. You carry a
- 16:29Speaker 6: calling from above, and the world is made more luminous

- 21:58Speaker 10: my duty, maris responsibility to share as much love and
- 22:02Speaker 10: to pour into much people as I possibly could. And
- 22:06Speaker 10: music was a way for me to do that. Okay,

- 22:38Speaker 10: understand that people will understand later. You know, I fight
- 22:43Speaker 10: for y'all. Everybody may not know about it, but I
