So we’d like to, uh, play an old song for you now, we’d like to dedicate this song to you for being here tonight, for supporting us as always. Even though we’ve lost our minds and all that kind of stuff, thank you anyway. This one’s for you. You ready there, Tex?
Tonight, Tonight (acoustic)
BC: This, uh, next song, uh, we were gonna put on our album, then we decided it was too long. And then, we still get criticized for the album being too long so you can imagine if this song was on it as well, it would’ve been really too long. So, this song, uh, most people never heard this song but I’d like to play it for you tonight, seems...fitting. This is called Let Me Give the World to You.

Now I want you all to remember what all of this is about, they have gone or they’re going to 13 cities and every single piece, a penny that you give to the concert tonight goes to Children’s Charities. It’s about...it’s about giving back, giving back, so they’re challenge you tonight to give back to a charity of your choice that helps children and to talk about the specific children’s society that’s getting it in Houston, is Executive Soc-(stutters), Director of Children’s Charities, right here!
