Everyone is always talking about how the world is a scary place, but no one really tries to change anything. The song "Change" by Carrie Underwood made me want to change the world.
The lyrics of this song are really powerful. Most people think that the only way to change anything is to do a huge act of kindness. This song shows that the "smallest thing can make all the difference" and something as small as 36 cents can mean the world to a person that has nothing.
The song stresses that the only way to change the world is to do something, and believing that it is possible is the key. I cannot even count the number of times I have seen the ad on TV that is "flashin' up pictures of a child in need," but I never called the number or contributed to try to "save a life," and many people are the same way. They think they are "just a fool to believe [they] can change the world." If everyone would believe that changing the world is possible, we would see a much brighter tomorrow.
Carrie Underwood has contributed to many charities. She has visited and helped children in Africa that are affected by malaria and aids. She recently started the C.A.T.S foundation that helps the schools and animal shelters in her hometown. For her upcoming tour she is donating "36 cents" of every ticket sold to Save the Children's United States Programs. Carrie Underwood emphasizes that trying to make the world a better place is very important.
We often feel compelled to give in times of crisis. Many people give money to people affected by tragedies such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and even oil spills, but we should want to help the less fortunate all the time because there is always something we can do to help "change the world."
