Summer Camp Song

Just as last year, we have kept the same amazing song for out morning song each day for our Passepartout Summer Camp and the children just don't seem to get tired of it at all - on contrary - they love it. I would like to share a very touching background to this song that you can hear and see in the attached you tube video below.


"Together We Can Change the World, Inc (TWCCTW) played a major role in bringing an African Youth Choir called SIFA to USA for a tour. All of the children are AIDS orphans. The goal was to raise money for the children to take back to Uganda in order to finish building their orphanage and to build new homes for them to live in.
Their six month tour was a tremendous success. Every where they went people just fell in love with them. A very good friend of TWCCTW, Mark Shepard, wrote a song that describes the heart of what the do and why they built this company. Before the SIFA Choir left to go back to Uganda, they were able to get them and a young lady named Rilee O'Neill into a recording studio to lay down this song so it could get placed on an upcoming SIFA project and promoted by them."


Lyrics:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
I believe it’s not too late
Together we can change the world
Lay the puzzle pieces out
Find out what it’s all about
Together we can change the world
Can't do it by myself
So I’m asking for your help
Together we can change the world
Sail past where it’s been charted
Roll your sleeves up, let’s get started
Together we can change the world
Together we can change the world
With our hands and with our hearts
We can dare to make a start
Together we can change the world
What if we spoke with one voice,
Knowing that we have a choice?
Together we can change the world
Change your mind and change your life
Set aside the fear and strife
Together we can change the world
When we open up our eyes
Then we start to realize
Together we can change the world
