Space Shuttle Endeavor Returns Today
WASHINGTON, June 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Justice Through Music, a national non-profit that uses music to inspire people to engage in social causes, has released a touching music video tribute to US Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and her husband Mark Kelly. The video, based on the Op-Critical song called "Gabby," was released on YouTube in time for the final shuttle flight of Endeavour, piloted by Mark Kelly. It begins with footage describing how Gabby watched the launch after she and her husband exchanged wedding rings, and then follows the launch and flight, trading off with moving footage of Gabby engaged in many activities over the past few years.
"Gabby and Mark are living a real life love story, which we portray in this song and video," said Op-Critical's singer and keyboardist Brian Simms. "They truly epitomize the best attributes of Americans, and demonstrate those daily with their civility, compassion, humility, honesty, love, kindness, commitment and professionalism. This video is a tribute not only to who they are, but to what they represent, and the message of the song is that we, as Americans, can learn to be kinder from their example. We are hopeful that this song will help in a small way to bring people closer together." Watch the video below.

LYRICS
There is no way to know what your destiny brings
Some of us are meant to be a bigger force
When the powers beyond us change history
Choosing those of us who chart a different course
Gabby, we owe you so much, we have felt your touch, topping off our hearts
Gabby, you make us so strong, we all now belong, never do us part
You have always been the best of, America
You show all of us the best of, America
You give hope to all of us in, America
Hope that we'll be kinder in, America
We've come face to face with opportunity
Winds of change blow now for everyone to see
The time has come to take this opportunity
We will all change now for everyone to see
There is no way to know the reasons why
Fate comes knocking when we least expect it
Chaos has a way of opening the door
Giving strength to those who carry on
Hope that we'll be kinder as Americans
