Surely We Can Change

Great song!


****************************************************************************************************
And the problem is this
We were bought with a kiss
But the cheek still turned
Even when it wasn’t hit

And I don’t know
What to do with a love like that
And I don’t know
How to be a love like that

When all the love in the world
Is right here among us
And hatred too
And so we must choose
What our hands will do

Where there is pain
Let there be grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Help them be brave
Where there is misery
Bring expectancy
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Something

And the problem it seems
Is with you and me
Not the Love who came
To repair everything

Where there is pain
Let us bring grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Let us be brave
Where there is misery
Let us bring them relief
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Oh surely we can change
Something

Oh, the world’s about to change
The whole world’s about to change

I appreciated the lyrics, having just attended the J. Paul Taylor Symposium on immigration. Dolores Huerta was a great speaker. Since seeing her, I learned that she was so badly beaten by police in San Francisco in 1988 that she had to have her spleen removed. She sued and used the funds she was awarded to help poor workers. She celebrates her 78th birthday now and still works on behalf of others. (And she was born in New Mexico!)
