Patti Jo Roth-Edwards – I'll Be The Change In The World lyrics

Even a small step toward the desired destination is in the right direction. Ghandi's famous quote along with the desperation of so many who ask me what they can do inspired this song.
I can not do everything. I do not go to marches and get arrested. I do not do politics. I am a songwriter and like to make videos and post them on You Tube. I am a writer. Graphic arts is another thing I enjoy. We are good at the things we enjoy. These are the things I can do to change my world.
I work locally to create change globally and focus on my local community by eating foods grown and produced locally. I get my clothes at thrift stores, make my own yogurt and summer wine and rarely drive. I never use pesticides and eat nearly all organic foods. This is my contribution toward my desire of a healthful sustainable world.
My small act of living my life is a vote against factory farms, gmos, chemical and pharmaceutical corporations and oil companies. I am healthy and fit, have not been to a medical doctor for many years and do not have or want insurance. I live within my means and studiously keep my income low enough to not pay taxes, although, just like corporations, I donate and invest in ways that can be deducted. In this way, my money does not go to drones or Geoengineering or gmo corn subsidies.
These things I do, as a way of living, are my way to be the change I desire. I hope to inspire and encourage others to do what they can as an action of love. Doing what one enjoys can create and accomplish positive change in the world.
