Story Behind The Song
I was asked to write this song for a non-profit organization called "Hug It Forward" which believes that if we all give 10 hugs and ask those people to give 10 hugs, then eventually there will be a global ripple effect which will have an optimistic influence on how people view the world and humantity. With funds that were raised through this song and the music video, Hug It Forward now builds schools in 3rd world countries. You can view the music video at www.TiamoMusic.com.
Song Description
This song is about reaching out to people, brightening someone's day, showing unconditional acceptance, and coming from kindness. If we all do this, then others will feel inspired to do the same. It can start with the power of free hugs, then connecting with others, and expanding from there.

Lyrics
Verse 1:
Do you believe
That you can truly change the world
When you give freely
To every human that you see
Do you believe
That every sad story lends
An opportunity
For you to heal a heart that bleeds
Do you believe
Circulating hugs impacts the world Exponentially
When they ripple globally
Do you believe
That a hug can ease our pain
The second we
Embrace another who's in need
Chorus:
So be the change
That you want to see
To make a new planet for
Humanity
It all starts with me
So be the change
That you want to see
To make a new planet for
Humanity
Where hugs are free
I'll be the change
Verse 2:
Do you believe
That the greatest way to feel
Is a hug that breeds
Love and connectivity
Do you believe
That acts of kindness can lead
To multiplicity
Of compassion on the streets
Do you believe
There's an abundance of love
No scarcity
We're calling out for unity
Do you believe
The world is crying out for change
We can supersede
With love and empathy
Chorus repeated
I'll change
You'll change
We'll change
We'll change the world
I'll change
You'll change
We'll change
We'll change the world
I'll change
You'll change
We'll change
We'll change the world
I'll change the world
You'll change the world
We'll change the world
I'll change the world
We'll change the world
