You have the power to change lives
both for the good, and for the bad.

There is a subculture of those wrongly accused
People from your town, people you know.
Someone has lied about them
and the liar was believed.

The person was not given a trial,
but they lost all knew
All their friends and their home.
They were denied their rights.

And all because you were too cowardly
to tell the simple truth
because you spread the rumors you heard
because you didn't investigate or give a trial


You have the power to change lives
Most of the time, they just want someone to listen

Stand up for what you know is right
Don't share lies and rumors
Ask them what happened
Don't talk about people

Friends and families stick together
They have each other's backs, have faith in them.
Give them the benefit of the doubt
Search for proof, gather evidence
punish only after speaking to all involved

You have the power to change lives.
Don't burn all the bridges you cross.

People will judge them based on your words.
and if you find them guilty
and it's a false accusation,
you have just condemned an innocent man
to a life of shadows
No one will trust him again.

You have the power to change lives.
Think about your actions before you do.
