Thank you to my special friend who sent me this. It made my day!! He knows me well and how it has not been easy lately with all that is going on around us... Love this guy.. he spreads inspiring music all over the world. Thanks for spreading such a great message for us all- Sharing this gift of a music video, song and message that says we are one family – just Keep Loving!
Another Empty Hands Music collaboration between Nimo and Magical filmmaker and sister Ellie Walton to create "Keep Loving" – A Universal Love Song.
Nimo was inspired to write this song from his experiences living in the Gandhi Ashram in India for the past 5 years. Mahatma Gandhi practiced a life and message of non-violence and love. At the foundation of this type of love, is the capacity to embrace all, accept everyone where they are at, and keep loving them more: through our prayers, our thoughts and our actions.

While Ellie Walton and Nimo were playing with the DC community in the summer of 2014 during the Empty Hands Tour, Ellie mentioned to Nimo that she wanted to create a music video for this song. But she wanted to capture the message through human experiences in public transportation - more specifically the NY Subway system.
8 months later, with the loving help of Tanisha Christie, Neelam Vaswani, Chad Harper and other dear souls we share with you this gift of a music video, song and message that says we are one family – just Keep Loving!

9. KEEP LOVING LYRICS
Written and performed by Nimesh “Nimo” Patel
Beat by Epistra
Mixed by Brian Nicholls
Verse 1:
Whether you’re different, same, ignorant or intelligent
Whether you tell the truth, lie or embellish it
Whether you live in gratitude or for the hell of it
It doesn’t really matter, we’re still one single fellowship
Whether you’ve been lustful or livin’ celebate-
Whether you’re an optimist or only see the negative-
Whether you’re dead broke or rich from inheritance
It doesn’t really matter, we’re made of the same sediments
Whether you got a family or single parentin’-
Or your Asian, African, European or American
Whether you pray-to-God or atheist is irrelevant
Cuz what you got inside is the same as all your brethren
Chorus:
So keep loving,
It’ll change your heart, it’ll change your mind
And then you’ll start to change your eyes
So keep loving
Everything you touch, everyone you see
Will soon become, your family
Verse 2:
Do you see yourself in the troubled and the homeless
Can you say everywhere you are is where your home is
Sharing your heart in the dark just like a lotus
Lettin’ your light shine bright so you can flow this
Everlasting love of grace like those did
Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, Buddha and Moses
Who carried the weight of the world upon their shoulders
So every time you fall down, go ‘head and hold this
Close to your heart, cuz you’re a love soldier
And every time you getta chance you pay it forward
Moving closer to Heaven’s gates we’re all soarin’
Because of you love is where we’re headed towards
[Chorus]
Verse 3:
So keep loving…
Gotta keep on loving
Gotta keep on sharing
Gotta keep on trying
Gotta keep on caring
Gotta keep the light on through dark and despair
Gotta spread the love, where nobody cares
[Chorus]
So keep loving,
It’ll change your heart, it’ll change your mind
And then you’ll start to change your eyes
So keep loving
Everything you touch, everyone you see
Will soon become, your family
