There's a song that really changed my life because it was first performed in front of our POWs
at the Cotton Bowl with Bob Hope and since then it's been a journey for me you can't believe.
It's allowed me to work for seven presidents of the United States.
It's allowed me to be able to
go and perform for our troops in Iraq.
It's provided me a chance to raise money for veterans
and the song written by Irwin Levine and Larry Brown, will you do it with me?
Here we go.
Okay get happy, [Gm] come on get happy.
