David Bowden's "Start Something That Matters"

Lyrics
There is a box suppressed deep in our chests
Where forgotten dreams and consuming passions are laid to rest
This wooden crate is packed tight with
            Crumpled sketches on coffee stained napkins
            Brilliant ideas from an enlightening conversation
            A painted canvas full of life and imperfections
            Notebooks spilling with business plans, poems, and powerful intentions
We’ve all heard about the bottom billion
            How 72 million children can’t attend school
            How 22,000 of them die daily from poverty’s rule
            How HIV, Malaria, and Diarrhea are preventable even treatable
                        How we have the tools
            Yet millions still suffer and die because what they’re missing is me
                        What they’re missing is you
What the world is missing is what you have always longed to do
            To provide water, clothing, shelter, shoes
            And to do so following your boxed in muse
So I invite you
To unpack your crate
            Find your spark light your fuse
And start something
            That the world can truly use
Then when your box is empty
            And your tools are in hand
Flip your box upside down
            to use it as your voices’ stand
Shout your dreams, wave your banners
            Plant a seed, pen tomorrow’s chapter
I say to you standers
            You box top dancers
Paint all you painters
            Paint something that captures
Write all you writers
            Write something that answers
Build all you builders
            Build something that shelters
And start all you starters
            Start something that matters
