Change the World

Making a difference. At first it seems so daunting. It implies that you must have some sort of influence, special talents and time. In fact, it takes only the desire to make just one thing a little better. In this message we see small acts of service with the wonderful lyrics of Eric Clapton’s iconic song “Change the World.” We believe it will inspire all of us to Make A Difference and Pass It On.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

MUSIC:
If I could reach the stars
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:
I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

SUPER/VO: Make a Difference… Pass It On.

The video is really one of a kind, Its message is very pure and relieving. I just wish everyone would "Pass It On" and for a moment think about the impact they could have not just by taking action but by having a more open perspective. They need to teach this kind of behavior in schools instead of teaching who gets better grades and who is a failure, I pray that our future kids get a better education than todays SLAVE education system. Godbless you all... -Anthony

Eric Clapton is inspiring and his rehab center in Antigua shows that he took a bad experience and is trying to help others. Great song as a reminder that we can all do our part.
