October is Domestic Violence
Awareness Month in the USA
But I say—I'm already aware
How about we call it what it needs to be?
Domestic Violence Prevention Month
Prevention is easier than cure
Because awareness without action is just watching
We say World Peace quite a lot
But think about it—
World peace starts in me Not a law,
not a sign, not a policy
It's a choice I make when I wake up each day Every
word that I speak,
every step that I take
I've seen too much pain,
I've cried too many tears I've lost my own blood,
faced my deepest fears But I'm still standing,
I'm still here And I'm choosing peace—let me make it clear
I pledge to be nonviolent Respect my body,
protect the Earth I am NVP I am NVP!
Nonviolent Person—that's me!
Aw yeah, that's me!
I am NVP!
Nonviolent Person—that's me!
Aw yeah, that's me!
My body's a temple,
I treat it with care Clean air in my lungs,
good food that I share I put down the phone,
step into the sun This life is a treasure—my race has just
begun No smoke,
no drink,
no drugs in my life I'm walking in the sun to get
vitamin D
Learn something new—to be all I can be
This world is my body too
I must protect the ocean and the shores The plastic,
the cans—I won't litter no more
I will live simple and clean Reduce and recycle,
save every drop Keep waterways clean so the beauty won't stop
Manage my time and my money with care
True nonviolence is where we start
But a rule can't change a human part...
True nonviolence must start in the heart...
Mamas and Papas, hear this plea...
Don't lose your child to the streets Are you dealing with sadness
and hopelessness About your sons or daughters lost to death?
I lost my grandson,
Adam, too... Let's turn our grief into saving a life Let's change
the world, starting with you...and me Let us stop the blame...
Break the cycle, change the game
I am
NVP!
I am NVP! I am NVP!
What is NVP? Non-Violent-Person—that's me!
Aw yeah,
that's me!
I am
NVP!
NonViolentPerson—that's me! Aw yeah,
that's me!
World peace starts in my heart...
World peace starts in my heart... I
am NVP.
Aw yeah...
that's me.
