Story Behind The Song
I was volunteering as a mentor former prisoners in computer skills about the time the move, Pay It Forward, came out. We wrote this song years after the movie because it encapsulated the feeling of giving to help!

Lyrics
Pay It Forward
Ac 2006
Make the world a better place
You can make a dif'rence
Here's an idea
Give until you feel good
I've been blessed
And, I can help, others change their lives
Help my neighbor and I help myself
Expect nothing in return.
Change the world
You will see
A little help
From you and me
Can make a dif'rence
When we try
Give a gift from the heart
Help someone help themself
Make an effort take a chance
The world will be a better place.
Pay it forward
You will see
A little help
From you and me
Can make a difference
When we try
I'm thinking who am I
How can I change the world?
What do I have to share
What can I do to show I care?
Everyone's gift is unique
Inspire someone to believe
Teach what you know
A seed planted has a chance to grow
Change the world
You will see
A gift of help
From you and me
Will make a dif'rence
Cause we've tried
You may not know what will happen
When you help change someone's life
Walk away knowing
You paid it forward.
