The Next Country Over, written by Richard Ian Greene and Mathew Andrae, addresses the futility of war. The lyrics also bring about awareness of the current plight of refugees in the world and at the US border.
The Next Country Over was performed as the finale of the 18th Annual World's Largest Concert Presented by the National Association for Music Education (MENC) from the Mormon Tabernacle, Salt Lake City Winter Olympics 2002. "It's an eight million voice petition for peace from the children of the world," said the performer and composer Matthew Andrae. The music video features footage from the PBS broadcast.
