“Be the Change” by Brian Bolding

***

So many folks think they’re powerless, that their vote doesn’t matter, then they don’t vote, and this is replicated hundreds of thousands of times. You need to know that every little act in life creates ripples, and everyone’s vote matters. So this November, go vote, as if your life depends on it, because it DOES!

***

Be the change you want to be

be the love you want to see

in the world today / don’t let it get away

Be the change you want to be

be the love you want to see

everyday / don’t just walk away

So many times we may feel powerless

we may wanna lose ourselves in a drug or a kiss

but don’t forget, what you do today

foretells the future, in the most curious ways

Be the change you want to see

Be the adult you want to be

in the world today / don’t forget about yesterday

So many days I wake up

and the world is literally on fire

There’s got to be something I can do

there sure is! Vote. The rest is up to you.

Be the change you want to see

Be the adult you want to be

in the world today / kids are watching, by the way

Be the change you want to see

By doing good acts & loving unconditionally

in the world today / Don’t forget to put your biases away

Be the change you want to see

Uphold our democracy

every single day.

We can’t just want change

We have to be the change
