Inspired by lyrics to “We Can Be the Change” by Sue Riley, Glen Roethel, Anji Kat:“One step, one act, it’s a simple fact, we can be the change.
Don’t have to do it all, no steps too small, we can be the change . . . .
One heart, one voice, one simple choice, we can be the change.
When it calls to you and it’s yours to do, we can be the change . . . .
Reach out one hand, be the change — a part of the plan, be the change.
Put it into motion, be the change, like a ripple on the ocean, be the change . . . .
We can be the change. We can be the change.”
