I have been raised in a competitive era where second place is the first loser. This paradigm means that some people give up because they fear losing and believe they are not good enough to win. We live in a time of enormous material wealth where money has become the measure for success. I believe that the reward of money is healthy, but I think we place too much value on making it, keeping it and taking it. Most people want more than success, they want to make a difference and have a purpose – to be significant. With this song I am not saying that success is not important, it is, what I'm trying to say is that significance is possible for all people, whether they are successful or not. Everybody is significant and we all have the capability to matter, to make a difference.
