The Impact of Our Lives

Words & Music by David Faraday

Chorus 1

If we all took the time, every day, just a moment,
To think about the impact of our lives.

Then maybe we’d all agree,

That how we choose to live must be revised.

Chorus 2

So please take the time, do it now, take a moment,
To think about the impact of your life.

What are you prepared to do?

And where are you prepared to compromise?

Verse 1

Are you prepared to take the jump,

Reduce your carbon footprint, travel wise?
Maybe you could eat less meat,

Re-use that dress, turn down the heat, just try.

Chorus 2 (see above)

Verse 2

Are you prepared to have less stuff,

Reduce the clutter, simplify your life?

And, when we’re eating healthy
For the good of earth’s community, we’ll thrive.

Chorus 3

If we all took the time, every day, just a moment,
To think about the impact of our lives.

What are we prepared to do?

And where are we prepared to compromise?

Verse 3

Are you prepared to jump for joy?
To celebrate, communicate and care?

Let’s focus on the things we know,
In life are there, but all too often rare.

Chorus 1 & 2 (see above)

Outro

What are you prepared to do,
Before the earth becomes a sacrifice?
