Send It On

The Disney Channel has become a staple of viewing in our house thanks (or not) to Cheyenne. While I'm not a huge fan of Disney since their politicizing of movies, I can deal with it. Hey, it keeps the little diva from becoming a whiny mess.

Recently, a group of Disney Channel stars recorded a song titled "Send It On" under the name "Disney Friends for Change." Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana), Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place), Demi Lovato (Sonny With a Chance), and the Jonas Brothers (Nick, Joe, and Kevin) have come together to do the song, and I must say that while not a classic in the sense of Clapton's "Layla" (the original; not unplugged), it's not bad.

While the message being sent is geared to kids doing their part to conserve resources, the lyrics could just as easily be a message of inspiration for adults (especially us bloggers) to keep up the fight against an ever-growing government and the erosion of liberty. The lyrics I find most pertinent to our cause will be in bold.

SEND IT ON

[Miley:]
A word's, just a word
'til you mean what you say

[Nick:]
And love, isn't love
'til you give it away

[Miley:]
We've all gotta give

[Nick:]
Yeah,something to give

[Miley & Nick:]
To make a change

[Chorus:]
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Reach a heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action the chain reaction
Will never stop
Make it strong
Shine a light and send it on

[Demi & Joe:]
Just Smile
(Just Smile)
And the world
(And the world)
Will smile
along with you..

[Joe:]
That small act of love
Thats meant for one

[Demi & Joe:]
Will become two

[Miley:]
If we take the chances..

[Nick:]
That change circumstances

[Nick & Miley]
Imagine all we can do

[All}
If we

[Chrous:]
Send it on
On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Reach a heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action the chain reaction
Will never stop
Make it strong
Shine a light and send it on (oh send it on)

Send it on..

[Miley:]
There's power in all of the choices we make

[Demi & Joe:]
So I'm starting now there's not a moment to wait

[Selena:]
A word's, just a word
'til you mean what you say

[Selena & Kevin:]
And love, isn't love
'til you give it away

[All:]
Send it on
(Send it on)
On and on
(on and on)
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
(be a part)
Reach a heart

Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action the chain reaction
Will never stop
Make it strong
Shine a light and
Send it on

On and on
Just one hand can heal another
Be a part
Reach a heart
Just one spark starts a fire
With one little action the chain reaction
Will help it start
Make it strong
Shine a light and send it on

[Demi:]
Shine a light and send it on..

[All:]
Shine a light and send it on..

Just as "Friends for Change" feel that they can make a difference in the conservation movement, we CAN and WILL make a difference in another movement: The movement to preserve freedom.
