Changing the World

Couch Superstar

If changing the world seems far-fetched and crazy

because, frankly, my dear, you’re incredibly lazy

more likely to yawn and stretch on the sofa

than strap yourself in to the change rollercoaster

here’s an idea you mustn’t forget:

there are ways you can help without breaking a sweat

put on a jumper, keep thermostats low

get a blanket and rug – feel that warm, cosy glow

switch electrical equipment off at the wall

now you’re part of the change with no effort at all

just two tiny things, but look what you are:

a champion of change – a couch superstar
