Start Giving
About this song
We wrote this song at Fairbridge Festival to honour the good work of the many volunteers without whom a music festival would not be possible.
Volunteering is good for your mental health, get’s you out of the house, interacting with other people and learning new things. It just takes a small step to start and you can do this today. This will help you feel better about yourself and the world. It makes you feel part of community and gives hope
If you can’t take it any more start giving
If you feel tied down, start living
You can make a change right now, small steps along the way
Here’s out tip: start today
Help other people out, good will come your way
You might have to change your expectation
It‘s not rocket science, and easy to do
Your new life will be a revelation
If you can’t take it any more start giving
If you feel tied down, start living
You can make a change right now, small steps along the way
Here’s out tip: start today
Do something that you haven’t done for a while
Write a letter to an auntie or a niece
Play the guitar that’s been hanging on the wall
Invite your neighbours to crackers, wine and cheese
If you can’t take it any more start giving
If you feel tied down, start living
You can make a change right now, small steps along the way
Here’s out tip: start today
If you worry about this world, reduce your CO2
Miss that flight and enjoy your local park
Start growing your own food and connect along the street
‘Cos love is the answer to the dark!
If you can’t take it any more start giving
If you feel tied down, start living
You can make a change right now, small steps along the way
Here’s out tip: start today
