 Extract from ‘The Power of Words’ 
 by Pa-Riss & Danae 

Words can inspire and words can destroy 
Use yours well and I’m sure you’ll enjoy
If you take my route then you won’t be a liar 
And the things you say will be used to inspire

The world is a community, a family, a place
And if you take my advice then you won’t have to chase
Embrace your words in many different ways
As Martin Luther King once said: The time is always right
You will never need to fight
Just believe, believe and hold on tight

Words can inspire and words can destroy 
Use yours well and I’m sure you’ll enjoy
Be the leader, not the follower
The speaker, not the swallower
We could make the biggest change if we just had a say in it

Just believe, believe and hold on tight
