ME TO WE

Me to we is what wed see

If we could already be the change we wish to see

In our lives these days

By the words that we say

About the world that we could make

By our passions as they turn into actions (x2)

 

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To something that embodies generosity

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To one home one family

 

Cuz It doesn’t take a genius to see

That things need to change

But no one person has the power to rearrange

All of the things that be bringin’ us down

It’ll take the whole world to make a smile from a frown

 

Every two seconds someone die from starvation

Poverty and hunger in every single nation.

40 wars spent one trillion dollars this year

We should have fund education this year instead of investing in fear.

 

Ecoside Genocide Homicide Suicide,

So many ways for destruction to live its life

People get angry and get up with guns

when more people died of suicide last year globally than war

you know we ain’t havin’ fun.

 

Priorities need to change were not doing enough

We ignore a man on the streets

Because his luck is rough

 

They say crime rates are jumping through the roofs.

The same reasons not to trust everyday on the news.

So many types of suffering that human can endure

But straight up there’s more than one way to be poor.

 

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To something that embodies generosity

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To one home one family

 

When you wake up try to find a smile

Recognize that were all alive, but only for a while.

Look around you, only 2 races to be found.

Multiple choice answer to be found, human cruel and human kind.

 

Respect that there is more than one way to live

We can be people who take or people who give.

Changing the world would be as simple as a hug or holding the door open

And not saying you’re done.

Saying something positive when negative surrounds.

Speak from your heart grow from what you found.

 

A stranger is a friend passing you by

If he looks serious pass him a smile,

If you’re still unfamiliar, ask him his name.

Strangers are extinct if and when they do the same

 

So first we need some visions

And we have to set some goals.

Like ending hunger by filling every single bowl.

And ending poverty as if money grows on trees

Lets stop voting war and start voting peace

 

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To something that embodies generosity

Lets move from me to we

And change the world from what we see

To one home one family

 

This is it one chance we can do it.

Learn the dance in the streets

By the way we choose to live

By doing what we do

By the me we give

By the we we see

Every single body

United to one family

One race

One globe

One humanity

That’s what they call human kind-ness

CUZ LOVE AINT DEAD!!!

WEEK OF SCILENCE!!!

When Joe speaks, people listen. Twenty-one year old Joe Opatowski travels across North America speaking to high school students about what life is like in other parts of the world. It’s shocking, and it’s real.

Meanwhile two high school seniors in BC vow to stay quiet after they hear Joe speak. He inspired them to really think about their words - as they embark on a week long Silent Vigil in a symbolic stand for the voiceless children around the world.

Joe’s life took a dramatic turn – but bottom line – he spoke and people listened. Sometimes that's all it takes.

 

"now its our turn! we want to take a vow of scilence for a week, music is aloud, watching news is aloud, and for you guys buzznet will be aloud, but im not using cellphones or email, or facebook! i hope i can get as many people to do this with me as possible! for the love of our planet, we need to bring to everyones attention that there are things going wrong in this world! i will stop talking to show the pain and aggriviation that others feel! not just in other countries like africa, but also in our ouwn loving utopia of CANADA. an amazing country but many are stuck not talking, not having their own voice! check out Joe. his speaches were amazing if your with me, speak up and let me know! not only will you be commited to a great cause, but ur name may go in our local paper. i dont ask for money, just support. itll be hard but ill do it! and with support itll get easier! <3 to all... ~amber pahl~"
