We’re Empathetic, Baby! (thank you, Kiki Dee!)
Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. We need more of it! Let’s be the change we want to see, move towards justice, and leave the world a better place. We can all choose to do small things with great love as we practice becoming more empathetic, kind, caring, merciful, loving, and understanding. Thank you, Kiki Dee, for your great music! May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Music: “I’ve got the music in me”
Words by me: Got lots of troubles in our lives. We still have dreams that make us cry. We’re often frightened or worried. We’re not sure how we’ll get by. We heat up, we cool down. There’s lots of things in this world need to turnaround. Don’t want life to get us down. Gonna do things to change what we found here. We’re empathetic, baby! So kind and caring, baby! Merciful, loving, baby! Yeah! Not apathetic, baby! Not fatalistic, baby! Not pessimistic, baby! There’s lots of wrongs to be set right. Can’t leave things the way that we found them. Gotta move towards justice doing small things with lots of great love. We heat up, we cool down. We’ve got words that can heal – we can say them. Don’t want life to get us down.
