Let's take action and be the change we want to see in the world!!
These singers are very good, but after I heard this guy playing on the radio, I was amazed ua-cam.com/video/R4XmQ54pFWE/v-deo.html
💯
Podiam convidar musicos do sul do Brasil Rio grande do sul , para fazer uma participação
Right on! Don't wait for the world to change - go out and change it yourself!
The You Tube algorithm blew it. It picked up world and change and threw at us the climate change non-factual disclaimer, or reminder, another attempt of manipulation, at telling us how to think. It does not matter anymore because the world is, indeed, changing.
Waiting for the world to change is about the New Earth. There are two factors bringing that to us: the energies of the universe and our own rise in frequency, our choice of thinking for ourselves..
I said it before, I will say it again. This is what the internet was for. ❤️🌎
We have more in common than we are told. Its not the people that are the problem, its the governments.
Please watch my music VID for the CHILDREN OF THE WORLD who have No VOICE here is their VOICE.... yes share ua-cam.com/video/_JcchFW-N5o/v-deo.html
The governments are held in place by the unthinking people.
Greed, power and religion separates us all.

Agree - politicians, governments are divide & conquer
Absolutely beautiful music!!! The world can't change until the people do. Peace, freedom, equality, and love is what we need. Above all else we need to protect our children!!! ☮🕊✊🏽💖🌎
Let's take action and be the change we want to see in the world!

Peace through music. Love to all of you listening ✌️🤟🫶
I'm not waiting on OUR World to change. Time is now! Everybody just slow your role. Or Pick up the pace.Thank you again as always Playing For Change! ✌️🙏☝️🌎❤️😎
It's not the world that needs to change, it's some of the people on it. Each one, teach one .. As one Light brightens someone's soul, another soul is ready to bring out the Light ❤

This language can never be misunderstood
Several years ago, in the comments section of the official video by John Mayer, I nominated this song to performed by Playing For Change. And on Thanksgiving day 2023, here it is.
Woah!! That's so cool!!
This so beautifully shows that we can spread joy and love and not hatred and prejudice! Let’s keep this in our hearts and share it with everyone we meet and make it contagious!! What a wonderful world we could create!!🙏🏻
Какие прекрасные люди, какая прекрасная песня! У людей больше общего, чем различий. Всё любят свои семьи, хотят счастья и мира своим детям. Всём нужны радость и тепло
Be the change you want to see in the world, that’s better then waiting on the world to change. Nice song, beautiful colours!
Well said.
Those dancers from Senegal & Thailand sure were beautiful.

I am here fifty kilometers north of Tel Aviv, and about two hundred kilometers from Gaza.
I passed through Gaza once as a soldier in the IDF and that was in 1969.
My interest in achieving peace with Palestinians did not reach political involvement. Maybe because the more human side appeals to me, I made a lot of Palestinian friends.
As an adult who manages to accomplish what he sets before him, even if it takes a lot of work and time ... and a huge investment.
In the end today, in the iron opacity of a conviction, Jewish as such, completely faithless, I sit here and all I am is to scream and cry in pain.

Shame on you for these words
Peace 🗝🌏❤

I think this made John Mayer a very happy man.
It's not the world that needs changing, it's the world's leaders that need to change and tell the real truth. But that will never happen and that makes me weep for the people of the world.

Sometimes i wish people can take a pause and see how powerful they are. The power to happiness, change,love and peace is in our hands. Life has been given to us embrace but most of us we seem to be lost and we wait for the world to change. We need to take a step back. Beautiful combination of culture and rhythm. Deep indeed. Music will always connect us in a beautiful way. Thank you.❤

John Mayer deserves this. Great song to cover. Not waiting

Beautiful just amazing beautiful 💙 💙🎶💙🎶💙🎶 we need the world to change to one luv 💙 this shows how amazing people can really become one with one luv 💙
It’s not the people who need to change, we’re all the same, it’s the thugs that lead us as a reflection of their own crass self interests.
Music like this proves we are as one, the outliers being the ones who can’t hear the miracle for war drums beating in their ears.
Wonderful. Playing for Change is showing the right way for intercultural cooperation. It should serve as an example to those responsible for bringing war and death.

Excellent global collaboration, excellent cover, of an iconic song. This has made my morning over here in East Africa. Fell in love with the song "Waiting on the world to change" (by John Mayer), when I first heard it on Kenyan radio back in 2006. Beautiful song. Also guys, I know you read our comments at your UA-cam postings, and here's a humble request from East Africa for a future music/cultural project of yours. "Malaika" (i.e. Angel in Kiswahili), is a Kiswahili love song that was written by Adam Salim of Tanzania (then known as Tanganyika), in 1945. The first known recording of "Malaika" was made by Fadhili William of Kenya in 1960. Tanzania and Kenya are neighbouring countries here in East Africa, and as a result, there continues to be a feud over who "owns" the song "Malaika," and where it originated from. Many Tanzanians insist that their Adam Salim composed "Malaika," while many of us here in Kenya insist that it is our Fadhili William who composed "Malaika."
Despite the fact that I am a Kenyan, I personally have long now accepted, that "Malaika" actually originated from our brothers and sisters in neighbouring Tanzania. It's still interesting and entertaining though, to watch Tanzanians and Kenyans go at each other on social media, over who "owns" the iconic Kiswahili love song "Malaika."
Since 1960, many covers of "Malaika" have been done by music artistes from different parts of the world, including covers by Miriam Makeba of South Africa, Afro-Caribbean music group "Boney M," Angelique Kidjo of Benin, and Harry Belafonte of America. Miriam Makeba's covers of "Malaika" are among the most popular, and as a matter of fact, many people are under the impression that "Malaika" is a South African song. When Miriam Makeba was an exile from South Africa's Apartheid regime, one of the places she lived for many years, was Tanzania, which is where she learned to speak and sing in Kiswahili.
"Malaika's" lyrics and instrumentation are basic and harmonious, and my humble request is that you guys put together a global music collaboration of "Malaika," as best as you can and as best as possible, such as the great global collaboration above of "Waiting on the world to change."
I know these projects cost money and involve logistics, and I will fully understand if you guys are unable to schedule "Malaika" right now in your ongoing projects.
Guys, please however put "Malaika" in your "to do list," in your "in tray," for future consideration. Do something for us please here, not just in East Africa actually, but in East and Central Africa, where Kiswahili has speakers in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as well as some parts of Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique. Actually one of the things that helped the spread of Kiswahili was Julius Nyerere's Tanganyika of 1961 to 1964, and Julius Nyerere's Tanzania of 1964 to 1985, when different liberation movements from different parts of Africa were hosted in Tanzania.
With the Best of Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 24th November 2023.
Oooh, yes, I second this request for a version of Malaika! I am from Belgium and this has always made me want to learn more about the people and cultures in the lands we used to occupy. Malaika is a song I first heard when I was well into my twenties, and it is a beautiful, enchanting song. My favorite version is by Angélique Kidjo, I always hear the waves of water in her version. There is also a beautiful Dutch translation by Belgian singer Ronny Mosuse that I adore, who sings it as if it's a lullaby, he recorded it for a charity he supports that works with children in central Africa. It would be a delight to hear artists from all over the world sing this!
@@elkeve2742I hear you Elke, and thank you.
I am blown away, and yes, hopefully the internet can help build a change. A beautiful video, and what most of us want. If it was as simple as each of us putting in $1, $5, $10, $20, I think the problem would be solved tomorrow. Unfortunately, I think there's more to it...
What an amazing and powerful song created with wonderful people!!!😊😊😊
A pleasure to listen and see, so many people can create this breathtaking and individual sound together! 😊
We are the change not the World but people❤
What a beautiful project! Proud of my friend Arqam and all the involved creative people for creating & spreading this musical message! 😢❤🎉

When John Mayer did this song I found myself thinking... if only people would listen to these words we could save our planet and really have justice for all.

“If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but because I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” (John 15:18)
Lyrics by John Mayer:
One, two
One, two, three
Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting on (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They woulda never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
'Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now I keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
We're waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
❤🕊️✌️☮️❤️
Be the change you want to come. Thank you PFC. 🙏One Love. ❤☮️
