An emotional lyric video has been released for the Orlando tribute song “Hands” that features YouTube stars who traveled to Orlando in the wake of the Pulse massacre and also some of the survivors of that shooting that left 49 people dead.

The video was released on Tuesday to coincide with the one month anniversary of the massacre.
