"You never stood in that man's shoes

Or saw things through his eyes

Or stood and watched with helpless hands

While the heart inside you dies

So help your brother along the way

No matter where he starts

For the same God that made you made him too

These men with broken hearts."

[SPEAKER_09]: Were there a lot of wires?

[SPEAKER_09]: Yes, Mike.

[SPEAKER_09]: Were there a lot of wires in your studio when you wired it over the weekend?

[SPEAKER_05]: Any advice on that?

[SPEAKER_05]: For instance, experience is that important?
