The choir added an inspiring description about the video and explained why they created the song.

In part, they said:

"The transition to online learning was abrupt, unclear, and uncharted. Those (teachers) who did not have access to online learning went to extraordinary lengths to communicate and inspire with limited means.
"Through their tireless efforts, teachers have graciously reinvented the teaching profession and in doing so, limited the impact of the pandemic on education."

In ending, the choir hopes their performance reminds young people that they can rise above any challenge - it is all within them.
