"America
stands for two things: aiding and abetting the quest of every human being for
human rights, human dignity and human needs, and providing that individuals can
make a difference."
"Our
lives are to be used and thus to be lived as fully as possible, and truly it seems
that we are never so alive as when we concern ourselves with other people."
If
we can muster up that degree of commitment and get away from the uniquely American
perception that if something can't be done immediately it isn't worth doing, then
I think the Hunger Movement, this small but growing minority of us, can have a
truly significant impact.
What
is needed is a marriage of two impulses, a coupling of the urge to do something
positive with the willingness to constantly re-evaluate how effectively our actions
lead to our goal - that of ending world hunger …
Oh
if a man tried
To take his time on Earth
And prove before he died
What one man's life could be worth
I wonder what would happen to this world
I believe that
success brings responsibility. It also does not bring immunity to the consequences
of our quickening march towards oblivion. The bottom line is that all of us should
be invovled in our own futures to create a world that our children will want to
live in.
This
committment to end world hunger, and my music and story songs, are ways of dealing
with the world as I see it.
We
all have the potential to move the world, and the world is ready to be moved.
When in doubt,
do something.
And
I dream that something's coming
And it's not just in the wind
It's more
than just tomorrow
It's more than where we've been
It offers me a promise
It's telling me, begin!
"There
are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So
many colors in the flowers and I see every one."
