I Am NVP

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

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.

Period.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Mamas and Papas, hear this plea...

Don't lose your child to the streets...

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...

we must.

I pledge to be nonviolent,

Respect my body, protect the Earth.

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!

World peace starts in my heart...

World peace starts in my heart...

I am NVP.

Aw yeah...

that's me.
