My Conclusion

The Family International gets a Reboot

Chris — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:54:08 +0000

The Family International put out a press release about the “reboot” and the changes taking place in the Family. I’m really looking forward to this having a major impact on the daily working of the Family International. I also love the fact that they quoted Karen Zerby and Steve Kelly’s internal memo. Time will tell, but I think this is going to get cool.

Change The World by Street Light

Beautiful version of one of my favorite songs, Change the World, by Street Light. It’s in Japanese.

Change the World

You can’t change the stormy weather.
You can’t change the sands of time.
You can’t change the rugged mountain
So it’s easier to climb.

But you can change somebody’s life
Just by giving them your own.
One by one we’ll change the World.
So come on, sing this song.

Chorus:
[You can change yourself]
It might take a little while.
[You can change a friend]
Just by giving them a smile.
[You can change the World]
And we’ve got so little time
To chase away the darkness
And fill the World with light.

You can’t stop the rain from fallin’.
You can’t stop the ocean’s tide.
You can’t stop the sun from shinin’
Even if you try.

But you can stop that empty feeling
Of being all alone.
Just put love in someone’s life,
You’ll find love is in your own.

Chorus:
[You can change yourself]
It might take a little while.
[You can change a friend]
Just by giving them a smile.
[You can change the World]
And you’ve got so little time
To chase away the darkness
And fill the World with light.
