We Need a Change

Tim Lucas (my co-writer) and I wrote and recorded this song together.  I love how it turned out and still one of my favorites. I don't know how to download the music but here are the lyrics...I had come up with the idea for this song after the shooting of Gabriel Giffords. I thought it was also reminiscent of the incident that just happened!
Some of you have this song on our 10 track cd....

We Need a Change

Written by: Tim Lucas and Allison Jacobson

I turned on the news today

A teen was shot in the alleyway

People locking themselves away

Afraid of who’s got a gun today

We’re sending our troops overseas

When we got shelters full

We got mouths to feed

Why can’t our eyes see?

What it is that this world needs?

 

But I keep hoping

That the world will change

And maybe it might someday

Will money grow on trees?

No beggin on our knees

Everyone will have the right to say

In God we trust and that will be enough

To get us through another day

To get us through another day

Mothers won’t have to grieve

When their sons leave

To go fight and die for us to be free

And we don’t have to cry

Don’t have to say goodbye

And we can climb a mountain to get high

But I keep hoping

That the world will change

And maybe it might someday

Will money grow on trees?

No beggin on our knees

Everyone will have the right to say

In God we trust and that will be enough

To get us through another day

To get us through another day

 

I woke up from a dream today

There was children playin in the alleyway

People opening up their homes to say

 My God what a beautiful day

No war overseas

No starving mouths to feed

Thank god that my eyes see

What a wonderful world

God made for me
