Pay It Forward

Pay it forward, 
Oprah Winfrey, 
supported the cause,
pay it forward,

I little boy 
dreamed, 
creating a better 
world,

Pay it forward,
yet what better way,
can we pay it forward,
than to create work,

people don't need toys,
people don't need car's,
people need jobs,
pay it forward,

People that work, have money,
money to pay their bills,
educate their children,
create jobs,

pay it forward,
a little boy dreamed
create a better world,
pay it forward.

Hi Mr. Barclay, I am a studying classical composer, and I was looking for contemporary and creative text involving Oprah. I couldn't seem to find another way to get in touch, but I would love to discuss potentially setting your "Pay It Forward" to music! Please let me know your thoughts, and I look forward to hearing from you.

That would be great, eighteen thousand children die everyday from starvation, give their parents jobs and they have the money, to feed their children.
