Change the Picture
No one is born a racist or a bully, we learn those things from others, and we can unlearn them too. By examining the sources of hatred we gain the tools to make positive change. This track was a finalist in the Political Song category in the 2009 Just Plain Folks Music Awards.

Lyrics
NOBODY’S BORN A RACIST
NOBODY’S BORN A HOMOPHOBE
NOBODY’S BORN A BULLY
THEY LEARN ALL THAT STUFF AT HOME
AND IN THEIR CHURCHES, IN THE SCHOOLYARD
ON THE STREET, IN THE MOVIES, ON TV
NOBODY’S BORN WITH HATE IN THEIR HEART
IT’S WHAT THEY LEARN FROM WHAT THEY HEAR AND WHAT THEY SEE
SO LET’S CHANGE THE PICTURE
LET’S CHANGE THE WORDS
WE CAN HAVE A WHOLE NEW CONVERSATION
AND WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
YEAH, WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
WELL, NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BEATEN
NO ONE DESERVES TO LIVE IN FEAR
NO ONE DESERVES TO BE MURDERED
LET’S SEND A MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR
THAT WE CAN CHANGE THE PICTURE
WE CAN CHANGE THE WORDS
WE CAN HAVE A WHOLE NEW CONVERSATION
AND WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
YEAH WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
‘CAUSE NOBODY’S BORN A RACIST
NOBODY’S BORN A HOMOPHOBE
NOBODY’S BORN A BULLY
HEY, THEY LEARN ALL THAT STUFF AT HOME
AND IN THEIR CHURCHES, IN THE SCHOOLYARD
ON THE STREET, IN THE MOVIES, ON TV
NOBODY’S BORN WITH HATE IN THEIR HEART
IT’S WHAT THEY LEARN FROM WHAT THEY HEAR AND WHAT THEY SEE
SO LET’S CHANGE THE PICTURE
LET’S CHANGE THE WORDS
WE CAN HAVE A WHOLE NEW CONVERSATION
AND WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
YEAH, WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
NOBODY’S BORN A RACIST
NOBODY’S BORN A HOMOPHOBE
NOBODY’S BORN A BULLY
THEY LEARN ALL THAT STUFF AT HOME
AND IN THEIR CHURCHES, IN THE SCHOOLYARD
ON THE STREET, IN THE MOVIES, ON TV
NOBODY’S BORN WITH HATE IN THEIR HEART
IT’S WHAT THEY LEARN FROM WHAT THEY HEAR AND WHAT THEY SEE
SO LET’S CHANGE THE PICTURE
LET’S CHANGE THE WORDS
WE CAN HAVE A WHOLE NEW CONVERSATION
AND WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
YEAH, WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
WELL, NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BEATEN
NO ONE DESERVES TO LIVE IN FEAR
NO ONE DESERVES TO BE MURDERED
LET’S SEND A MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR
THAT WE CAN CHANGE THE PICTURE
WE CAN CHANGE THE WORDS
WE CAN HAVE A WHOLE NEW CONVERSATION
AND WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
YEAH WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
‘CAUSE NOBODY’S BORN A RACIST
NOBODY’S BORN A HOMOPHOBE
NOBODY’S BORN A BULLY
HEY, THEY LEARN ALL THAT STUFF AT HOME
AND IN THEIR CHURCHES, IN THE SCHOOLYARD
ON THE STREET, IN THE MOVIES, ON TV
NOBODY’S BORN WITH HATE IN THEIR HEART
IT’S WHAT THEY LEARN FROM WHAT THEY HEAR AND WHAT THEY SEE
SO LET’S CHANGE THE PICTURE
LET’S CHANGE THE WORDS

AND WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
YEAH, WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
WE JUST MIGHT CHANGE THE WORLD
