"As some of you may or may not know, this song was written about something really close to my heart. You know sometimes life brings out its complications and some hardships, but you know, it's how we deal with them that counts. And I know that each and every single one of you in the audience tonight have been through a hard time in your life before, right? I know that each and every one of you have felt, at one point, like you couldn't go on, but then you found hope. There's always hope. Remember that. There was a time in my life when I got diagnosed with diabetes and I thought that I'm not going to be able to live my dream, getting to do what I want to do. And I can say today that I played for 12,000 people in Chicago. That happened because I found hope. How many of you people in the audience tonight need to find hope? How many of you need a friend? And how many of you need to find peace? Well, like I said, that's what this song is about. And tonight, this song-- this song is for you. This song is for every broken heart tonight, and for every broken dream. For every high and for every low. Don't ever forget it. Now, what I want you to do now is, if you know the words to the song, I want you to sing with all your heart and all of your soul because something happens when 12,000 people in Chicago come together and sing a song. Now this song is for this generation, and this generation is going to sing it out."
