Songs Can Change the World – Mary Gauthier

People ask me if I believe songs can change the world. My answer is yes, absolutely. Here’s how: A song can change a heart by creating empathy. A changed heart has the power to change a mind. And when a mind changes, a person changes. When people change, the world changes. One song, one heart, one mind, one person at a time. Songs can bring us to a deeper understanding of each other and ourselves and open the heart to love. — Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting, p. 2
