THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE CFC

I would like to personally thank you for supporting the Combined Federal Campaign.  If you've watched my video "Soul & Heart" and were moved to action, you've understood the urgency and call to assist our fellow Americans who find themselves in crisis due to circumstances beyond their control.  With thousands of charities available that serve families in need, there is surely a cause that speaks to your soul.  Everyone has the power to make positive change in the world, but when individuals move at once, lasting positive change is inevitable.  Encourage those around you to be the change they want to see in the world.  It all starts with one person of influence.  You.

LYRICS
 
verse one

In the pursuit of the American Dream seems we never have enough
We spend our whole lives up in a store trying to purchase stuff
In the end we ask did it really matter,
when you stop to think about how many countless lives have been shattered
Catastrophes have left communities without a home
The lucky ones receive aid, the rest have to fend on their own
Standin' at a space (where) they're handing out supplies
only to find they just ran out soon as you got to the front of the line
We gotta help the ones we can while we're living
want to build a legacy we can deliver for our children
sometimes it only take one to make a difference
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference
We need a shift in consciousness to make improvements here
this is an appeal to your heart to start a movement here
Picture now a family with next to nothin'
and how you can help them a whole lot for next to nothing

verse two

Good intentions without action and follow through
have no impact in a market that'll swallow you
We've been taught that most important is the bottom line
erase the human face and then replace it with a dollar sign
Anything you put in motion,
it creates a ripple effect, like throwing stones up in the ocean
I say it's time to stand up and be influential
The multiplied effect of time and money can instrumental
So pick your favorite charity
(one) that gives food, gives shelter, helps families
Just a few that'll get you through what you're going through
whenever life takes its worst and throws it at you
The power to change the world is in your hands
and if you understand the power of you, then you'll understand
Be the change you want to see in others
Humanity is when you start to see more of yourself in others

verse three

Your compassion for others led you to civil service
You know how to make things happen, especially when it's urgent
On behalf of the citizens I thank you
You deserve all the best on the journey life takes you
But knowing you, you don't do it for the praise,
But that alone makes you more deserving of the accolades
From federal workers to soldiers on the battlefield
to our elected leaders who fight the social battles here
So many issues to face our work is never done
We work for the future to try to make a better one
We have limitations, we can't do everything
But if you only reach one, to them it means everything
So make the changes you feel you have the power to
Don't hesitate, execute and follow through
If these words affect you live they've affected me
Then go ahead, let your mind soul and heart be free
