A word's just a word
'Til you mean what you say
And love isn't love
'Til you give it away
We've all got to give,
Yeah, something to give
To make a change
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Read your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us strong
Shine a light and send it on
Just smile
And the world
Will smile along with you
That small act of love
That's meant for one
Will become two
If we take the chances
To change circumstances
Imagine all we can do
If we...
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Read your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us strong
Shine a light and send it on
Send it on
Oh, send it on
There's power in all of the choices we make
So I'm starting now, there's not a moment to wait
A word's just a word
Until you mean what you say
And love isn't love
'Til you give it away
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Read your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will never stop
Make us strong
Shine a light and send it on
Send it on
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Read your heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action
The chain reaction will help things start
Make us strong
Shine a light and send it on
Shine a light and send it on
Shine a light and send it on
The song above, "Send It On," is sung by Disney's Friends for Change, including The Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, and Miley Cyrus. According to the Wikipedia entry on Disney's Friends for Change, this movement "is a pro-social 'green' initiative that started in the summer of 2009. Disney's stars stress environmental Issues (like saving water) In the campaign. The year-long campaign draws on how Disney stars connect with young fans. Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez are among the stars in the 30 second to 2 minute public service announcements currently airing on Disney Channel, which explain how kids can help preserve the planet (with help from their friends, hence the name, Friends for Change) and tell them to go to the Friends for Change website to register and pledge which is sometimes said as 'reg and pledge.' As part of the initiative, kids will have the ability to choose how Disney will invest 1 million dollars In environmental programs to save water, save animals, stop pollution, and save the earth." Already, a difference has already been made by kids (and their friends) everywhere. Two projects -- Climate and Water -- are already underway. This month, the project Waste will begin and in December the Habitat project will begin. You can register at Disney to find out how you can help change the world. One small step in the right direction can make a big difference! Yesterday I downloaded "Send it On" on iTunes and 100% of the proceeds go to help Disney's Friends for Change. If you liked these lyrics, send it on by downloading the song today! One person can make a difference...
