Happy World Music Day! Making the choice to venture down a career path as a change maker dedicated to service – and living it – is not always easy. Some days, we just need to jam out. And maybe dance a little… Here are some of our favorite songs that keep me inspired:

Aloe Blacc- Wake Me Up

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don’t have any plans

Hanson- World’s On Fire

(2009)- yes they started making good music when they became adults

Do they know that the world’s on fire?

Do they know that the time is now?

Do they know that you gotta stand up, stand up

Let your voice speak out

Do they know that it’s time?

Tracy Chapman – “Talkin’ About A Revolution”

While they’re standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation

“You Get What You Give” – New Radicals

This whole damn world, could fall apart
You’ll be ok, follow your heart
You’re in harms way, I’m right behind
Now say you’re mine

You’ve got the music in you
Don’t let go
You’ve got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don’t give up
You’ve got a reason to live
Can’t forget
We only get what we give

“You Gotta Be” – Des’ree

Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted
Don’t be ashamed to cry

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day
