I always try to find motivating songs for my Spinning class. I discovered this song in itunes on Lance Armstrongs playlist. I can see why Lance Armstrong likes this song. An inspiration himself, he has self-determination to defeat cancer and then ride in the Tour De France. Amazing!

The more I listen to this, the more I feel inspired. Just as I saw on TV Obama's appearance at the MTV's "Be the Change" Youth Inaugural Ball, there is such energy for getting involved in community and volunteering, this song reminds me that our gift is to fight and participate in life.

Fight for what you believe in and fight for a better way! As my first step I'm going to check out this website I found: http://www.bethechangeinc.org/servicenation

A Better Way

Written by: Ben Harper



One, two, one, two, three

I'm a living sunset
Lightning in my bones
Push me to the edge
But my will is stone
'Cause I believe in a better way!

Fools will be fools
And wise will be wise
But i will look this world
Straight in the eyes

I believe in a better way!
I believe in a better way!


What good is a man
Who won't take a stand
What good is a cynic
With no better plan


I believe in a better way!
I believe in a better way!


Reality is sharp
It cuts at me like a knife
Everyone i know
Is in the fight of their life
I believe in a better way!


Take your face out of your hands
And clear your eyes
You have a right to your dreams
And don't be denied

I believe in a better way!
I believe in a better way!
I believe in a better way!
