Story Behind The Song

Written for inclusion on a compilation CD on the theme "Change" to be distributed in the gift bags at the Democratic National Convention. Unfortunately, the project was cancelled. So.......I made a slide show music video which is now posted also.

Lyrics

A TIME FOR CHANGE

(Verse 1)
"We the people of the United States,
In order to form a more perfect union;"
Our founding fathers inscribed these words,
The beginning of our Constitution.

(Verse 2)
Based on justice and the welfare of all,
It gave power to people to make their best call
On who would govern and how they should,
To make sure it was for the common good.

(Pre-chorus)
Some goals can get lost along the way,
But on the horizon there's a brand new day......

(Chorus)
It's A TIME FOR CHANGE, a change for the better.
It's time to live up to the Constitution's letter.
There's work to do, a hill to climb,
But this is our moment, this is our time,
A TIME FOR CHANGE, a time to believe
In how much together we can achieve.

(Bridge)
Changes are needed in our nation
In energy and health and education,
And we need to show a bit more sense
In our approach to world events.
If out of many, we are one,
We can get these things done!

(Repeat Chorus 2X)

(Tag)
It's A TIME FOR CHANGE;
It's A TIME FOR CHANGE.
