The larger-than-life track challenges listeners to be the change they wish to see in the world; as the song hopes to inspire a message of unity, action and optimism.

Says the Smallbones: “So often we deal in statements in life — we make statements about ourselves, about God, about others. And yet if you look at Jesus’ life, He so often dealt in questions.

We’re proud to ask these questions alongside you, and we hope that you find your answers as we’ve found ours.”
