SEEDS OF CHANGE –

Not much to say about this song the message is abundantly clear. There are numerous difficult and disturbing issues effecting areas of not only our individual communities but of human society as a whole, that is not news. It is not enough for us mature adults to just point out the problems, solutions and/or change will not be forth coming if all we can do is complain and attach blame.

We each need to act for change, individually set an example for our children, our neighborhoods, our friends and family and society as a whole. We must plant the seeds of change by our actions and deeds. Change must come from within, it can not be legislated for and it seems for the most part our “leaders” in society are either satisfied  with the status quo or are to busy embellishing their status or bank accounts to lead for change.

So I say plant the seeds of change put away your hatred whether that hate be born out of spite, disadvantage, greed, jealousy or some holier than thou mindset. Live and let live is the way forward, that belligerent attitude that allows one to believe that they or their chosen agenda, ism, religion or country is the only path forward, does little but promote division and hatred. Demands that others conform to your thinking or agenda, no matter what that may be, is not campaigning for change but rather self righteous indulgence that hardens hearts and minds. Be the example of change, plant the seeds and stand as a planting stake for others to grow on.

“You know we need to stand right up and plant the seeds of change” and if we don’t we should.

SEEDS OF CHANGE – Lyrics

You hold them in your very hands – Plant the seeds of change

You can do it the time is now – Plant the seeds of change

Happened before it can again –  Plant the seeds of change

No there is no right no left here – Plant the seeds of change

There is only one race to save here –  Plant the seeds of change

Its happening right here right now – Plant the seeds of change

A tiny seed is all it will take  plant the seeds with love surely they will grow

If we stand as planting stakes  the seeds of change germinate surely they will grow

We don’t need to shout my way’s the best – Plant the seeds of change

Help those of us who need a hand up – Plant the seeds of change

Shun those of us who live in hatred – Plant the seeds of change

You hold them right in your heart there – Plant the seeds of change

You know we need to stand right up and – Plant the seeds of change

Right this ship we’ll save this planet – Plant the seeds of change

A tiny seed is all it will take  plant the seeds with love surely they will grow

If we stand as planting stakes  the seeds of change germinate surely they will grow

You hold them in your very hands – Plant the seeds of change

Plant the seeds of change  Plant the seeds of change
