472 Be The Change

21418888_mAbout This Song: (lyrics below)

I want to share with you today my recent “upgrade” to the song I wrote for the Albany Peace Project. “Be The Change” has been magically transformed by my longtime collaborator, Joe Mennonna. Joe took time out from his busy touring schedule with Kevin Bacon and Michael Bacon to create a stunning arrangement.

Our mutual buddy Gene Moore joined us on electric guitar and background vocals. Then Luci Mennonna and the stunning young vocalist Riley O’Neill dropped in to help with background vocals and a sweet duet for the bridge.

I thought you might like to hear it!

“Be The Change”

Song # 472 | 5/15/13
From “Home Across The Sea” CD
Words and Music: Mark Shepard | Arrangement: Joe Mennonna |
Inspiration: Bethany Gonyea – The Albany Peace Project

What if you could really vote with your heart?
Imagine the world a better place because of you
What if we could pause for a moment of peace?
What if for a moment all hostility could cease?

Refrain:
Be the change you want to see in the world
Be the change you want to see
Be the change you want to see in the world
Be the change you want to see

Brothers sisters, fathers and mothers
What if we all got together
And took a moment to breathe with each other
So that we can make things better

Refrain:

Broadcasting love is a conscious choice
that allows your hurt to mend
So lay down your arms and open up your heart
There is nothing that you have to defend

Refrain:

Bridge:
I will hold you in my heart
And surround you with love
I will hold you in my heart
In the Light we’re all made of…

Refrain:

Thanks for Listening!

Mark
