Don't Walk Away: An Original Song

IMG_1005.JPG

On April 13, 2014 a white supremacist gunned down three beautiful souls in Overland Park, Kansas. Fourteen year old Reat Underwood, his grandfather, William Corporon, and Terri LaManno lost their lives that day. In their memory, Seven Days was created. The Seven Days motto is, “Make a ripple, change the world.” I entered my song. “Don’t Walk Away”, into the Seven Days songwriting competition and got 2nd place! This was such an honor. The purpose of this song is to inspire and uplift others to be accepting of all people regardless of racial, religious, or cultural differences, and to spread kindness. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me and for being part of the ripple of change!

I had an amazing time filming this video in Nashville and Kansas City! I carried my camera with me everywhere we went and each new place was an opportunity. I’m really glad that I got to be a part of such an important cause.

Don’t Walk Away

By Grace Piper Fields

Is your life like a film in black and white?

Divided by limited eyesight

Whatcha thinkin’ when you’re walking down the street?

Are you judging the people that you meet?

Don’t walk away

It’s up to us now

Stand up today

Let’s spread some love now

Embrace this technicolor world that we live in

No matter our beliefs or color of our skin

Let’s see through a kaleidoscope’s view

Change the angle and the patterns are brand new

Don’t walk away

It’s up to us now

Stand up today

Let’s spread some love now

Paint love like a mural on a wall

Go outside the lines and see the boundaries fall

Who says who gets to draw the line

Of what’s acceptable in human design

Don’t walk away

It’s up to us now

Ooh oh

Don’t walk away

It’s up to us now

Don’t walk away

Don’t walk away

Stand up today

Let’s spread some love now

Don’t, don’t, don’t walk away

Don’t walk away

It’s up to us now

Ooo ooo ooo

Stand up today

Let’s spread some love now

Don’t walk away
