About This Song:
Originally written for Ginny Dye’s non-profit organization, “Together We Can Change The World”, which raises money for Ugandan orphanages, it was included in the Kids Musical, “Letters To Daddy” and has gone on to win a Posi Award in 2014 for Positive Music, and has been adopted by the girl scouts of the Philippines, and other positive organizations around the world.

It is fast becoming a favorite of school choruses and is part of a play called, “Letters To Daddy”.

While the version recorded by a 12 year old Rilee O’Neil is the most played one, this version is sung by ME, the singer/songwriter who wrote it, Mark Shepard…

If you like it, there’s plenty more where that came from… Together We CAN Change The World!

<h3>Together We Can Change The World</h3>
Song #375  | 12/5/2007  | CD: <a href=”https://markshepardsongs.com/the-key-to-your-cage-full-album/”>The Key To Your Cage</a>

D
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
A
I believe it’s not too late
C                                                  D
Together we can change the world
D
Lay the puzzle pieces out
A
Find out what it’s all about
C
Together we can change the world

Refrain:
Bm
Can’t do it by myself
G
So I’m asking for your help
D                                                   A
Together we can change the world
Bm
Sail past where it’s been charted
G
Roll your sleeves up, let’s get started
D                                                   A
Together we can change the world
C
Together we can change the world

With our hands and with our hearts
We can dare to make a start
Together we can change the world
What if we spoke with one voice,
Knowing that we have a choice?
Together we can change the world

Refrain:
[instrumental]

Change your mind and change your life
Set aside the fear and strife
Together we can change the world
When we open up our eyes
Then we start to realize
Together we can change the world

You write some great songs!

Hi Mark, You write some great songs! I really enjoyed listening to all of them on Spark and Flame. Thank you for all that you do. Keep up the good work! All the best.

Susan

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

J

Your song was just perfect to start my day…

Mark, your song ‘Freedom (It’s Been  Long Road)’ was just perfect to start my day. I LOVE IT!  Thank you, Thank you.  Blessings to you and much gratitude for your musical gift.

Judy

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

Your incredible music never fails to move me. Thank you, Mark.
