The song, "Make A Wave," by Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas is a powerful anthem that highlights the impact of small actions. Both singers bring to attention the power of a simple act of kindness or a single decision to take a stand, and how even the tiniest action can evoke a widespread response. The lyrics speak to the truth behind the butterfly effect - that the smallest of actions can lead to monumental change. It softens our hearts to the realization that positive change starts with every one of us.
In the chorus, Lovato and Jonas sing: "Just a pebble in the water can set the sea in motion, a simple act of kindness can stir the widest ocean. If we show a little love, heaven knows what we could change." These lyrics are a reminder that we can each initiate change, no matter how small our act may seem. We should never underestimate the impact our actions can have, and our most significant changes often start with the simplest of actions, like being kind to others and standing up for what we believe in.
