Lyrics
"Song For Change"
(Lyrics - C. Webster - Music - M. Novak)
Jeannie sings as she walks along,
she knows the words to her favorite songs
She was born in the summer from love,
her voice was as smooth as the cooing dove
Growing up surrounded by radio tunes,
listening in the mornings and the afternoons
Each song seems to speak to her,
they would whisper words in a purr
Saving for months to buy a guitar,
the neck was slender with a line of stars
Her fingers felt like magic creating sounds,
she practiced for hours without any bounds
Mastering the frets as images appeared,
seeing them as only she could hear
They became one united in song,
whatever is leading the other came along
This is a song for change
CHORUS:
Song for change - It came from her heart
Song for change - She wanted to do her part
Song for change - Making all people agree
Song for change - Protecting earth is her decree
Jeannie's voice became her outward being,
lost in her music her visions far seeing
Imagination fueled as her fingers strummed,
diving into depths yet unplumbed
She sings a song for change
Blooming as she took on an aura,
with colors like an opened box of Pandora
People would watch her on stage,
sitting spellbound can’t disengage
Playing and singing without effort of thought,
easily matching what she sought
Years gone by her ideas took shape,
painting songs with a barren landscape
She sings a song for change
Acclaimed by peers she humbly succeeded,
singing her ideas unimpeded
Loved by all her message ingrained,
vowing to end climate change
She sings a song for change
CHORUS:
