What it says is, "I wish for you peace.

I wish for all of us peace.

I wish for us acceptance and second chances.

I wish for us all to feel and remember and bring back that wonder and joy of a child in our hearts because we're all still children in our hearts.

We are all travelers for a brief time in this human experience and we travel through these turmoils and these troubles and these tragedies and these losses, but we can sing as we go.

And, in the hour of miracles, in the hour of miracles -- comes more often than we might think -- in the hour of miracles, poison can be medicine, too, if you only drink one drop."

This is "Poison Arrow."

I always like to, you know, take a second to just talk about everybody's favorite topic -- climate change.

[ Laughs ] [ Cheering and applause ] We don't talk about it enough.

We don't know what to say.

It's so hard to face it.

It's so heavy.

It's this thing that brings up so much shame because, just by being born into this country, into this time, and having this knowledge, we have to carry with us this sort of role that we didn't ask for, of almost being the wrongdoer.

Whenever we're shaming ourselves for our choices or shaming other people for theirs, we're not able to see the reality of the predicament that we're in and the reality of the systems that we're living in, that are causing us to have to play this role that we don't want to ask for.

We want a beautiful world for ourselves and our children and I've never doubted that anyone doesn't feel that way deep in their hearts and I think that, when we talk about climate change, we get really scared and we get really shameful and we blame and we freak out, but we forget to talk about love and how we love each other and we love the world, obviously.

So, I just always like to bring it up because we don't talk about it enough and it's here and we got to just keep talking about it and being kind to each other in all of the reactions that word brings up.

-Yeah.
