According to Powell the idea came from a post-concert meeting with a New Jersey couple. They mentioned their son had been depressed and drove deep into the woods, planning to kill himself. He turned on the radio and heard "Cry Out to Jesus" (from their 2005 album Wherever You Are), which gave him encouragement to keep going.[2]

A boy leaves a suicide note on a desk before leaving in his truck. He drives to a wooded area. His mother reads the note and is in shock. The boy hears a song on the radio that gives him hope to keep him from ending his life. He returns home to embrace with his mother.
