The March for Our Lives, which some of the proceeds from the song will benefit, will happen in Washington, D.C. This portion of the song almost perfectly applies to the experience of Parklands survivors and the challenging work many of them are doing to change gun control legislation in the United States. Raise a glass to all of us Tomorrow they'll be more of us Telling the story of tonight Out of the shadows The morning is breaking And all is new. It again asserts that time will pass and today's actions will help create a new, and maybe brighter, tomorrow Raise a glass to freedom Something they can never take away. The song concludes by offering the reassurance that more and more people will always join to help others fight against injustice - and to help share accounts of this fight. These students have overcome many obstacles to ensure that their message is heard, including enduring critiques and condemnations from politicians - and even facing death threats. This message applies greatly to the Parkland survivors, who are diligently working in the face of much adversity to ensure that mass gun violence never happens again. People will even proudly tell future generations about it. Indeed, the song implies that changes being made now constitute history in the making. The moving song opens by saying that while 'we may have not yet reached our glory,' people will look back and tell their children 'the story of tonight.' The song seems to imply that while present times may be challenging, people are unifying to create change - and that they should remain hopeful for the future. 'Found Tonight' is the latest installment in the series.

Hamilton is a widely popular musical that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the United States' Founding Fathers. It features Miranda releasing new Hamilton music every month for one year.

The song, 'Found Tonight,' encourages people to persevere in the face of adversity. At midnight on Sunday, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and singer Ben Platt's Hamildrops Collab came out - and its powerful message reflects many of the sentiments associated with the March for Our Lives.
