Good morning, all!  We had a great rehearsal last week, learning the George Duke song, We can Change the World.  The lyrics are as follows;

Verse:
*Gather round let’s talk a minute, what I have to say is quite simple
But it's very hard to do, what have we got to lose?
*There are problems everywhere, see the people just don't care
Enough to make a change, that keep em playing the same old game.
*USA to Africa, Mexico to Indonesia
Imagine what we could be, if we opened up our eyes to see.
*Can't we all just get along, seems we don't know right from wrong no,
I see it everywhere, we need to wake up and learn to share.
 
Chorus:
It's only a dream, impossible as it seems
If we put aside our differences, and hold back our fears
Wash away the prejudice, and wipe away the tears
It's only a dream, but in my heart I've seen
If we put our heads together, respect each other's needs
Standing strong when things get tough
We'd change the world
We can change the world
 
Verse:
*Hurting hearts need helping hands, together we can change this land
In a world that needs to know, in a world that needs to learn and grow.
*From the errors of the past, if we could only make love last
Then the problems of this world, wouldn't be left to our boys and girls.
*On the land and in the seas, even in the air we breathe
Pollution everywhere, environment in true despair.
*Money, power, lies and greed, in the times ever seen                        
We don't have to to accept it, I know there's a way to fix it.
 
Chorus:
 
Come on stand up, shoulder to shoulder, stand together,
 Let our voices be heard
Singing in harmony, let our voices speak as one,
Singing of hope and peace, come on and stand up,
Speaking  the words of  truth to power, we can fill the need
Come on rise up, putting our hearts and minds together,
for the world to see.
 
Chorus:End
It's only a dream, impossible as it seems
If we put aside our differences, respect each other's needs
standing strong when things get tough, we'd change the world
It's only a dream
But we could change the world
We can change the world
We can change the world
We can change the world
We can change the world
