This song was written in 2009. Although not specifically related to the middle eastern war, there may be many reasons why this song was written in the time of the Iraq war.



This song was used by NBC during the time of the olympics. In an interview with Kim Lawton, Matisyahu speaks of his song in saying, "It’s really great in the sense that, I mean, there’s—it’s a very sort of simple song, not—it was written after all of sort of—the record came later, and it was just sort of went into the studio and I didn’t put too much thought into it and just wrote, and there were co-writers also, it wasn’t just myself, but just a basic, sort of, you know, hopeful song, you know, just to in some ways naïve, but just tap into that sort of just raw place of hope, I guess, and that is sort of what the Olympics is about to an extent, too—people, countries coming together that have differences, kind of rising above that."
