And to close our program this morning, I would now call forward mr ronnie broussard ronnie last year, leaving this ceremony, as I said earlier, was so moved by what he had been seeing in our recovery that he was moved to write a song called. I want to come home and he is going to debut that song here this morning. Ronnie.

Thank you before I sing the song I'd like to cough, so that's done.

I'd also like to dedicate this song, if I could, to all the citizens of biloxi, past and present and future and to mayor aj, holloway and your lovely wife and family, and to everybody in your office brenda and bill, and I cannot forget vincent creel who's, always been so very nice to me and one of the last times I spoke to vincent on the phone.

I thanked him for um inviting me to this event and vincent said ronnie. We thank you. If there's anything you ever need you just call, we probably can't give it to you, but you call and you can't top, that that's beautiful stuff so to everybody.

I wanna put my feet back on the sand. I wanna go home to the only place I can understand and while the breeze cools my face, I can watch the seagulls racing high.

I know now that you're my best friend, I feel you calling me just like the tug of a mother's hand, I'll be safe, I'll, be warm when I get.

C

Bring on the wind bring on the rain.

C

That's who we are yes, we are all.

C

We are all the.

I need to be back where I was born in my daddy before me, so let me breathe that perfume there from right off the sound, a sea of friendly faces, so many cultures, so many races wait there for me.

C

So I wanna go home.

C

I to put my feet deep in the sand home to the only place I'll ever understand I'll watch the islands in the sun as the little babies run on the.

C

C

But we won't run and we won't fall cause. That's who we are.

C

Yes, you see, that's who we are you and me.

And I wanna go.
