Change the World song by Howard McCrary

Edited from the Inner Dream Kindergarten Program broadcasting on DMC

Dearest and Most Beloved LuangPhor,

I greet you with a heart full of humility and wonder. A few weeks ago when you requested Lp Burin to contact us concerning the song , ‘Change The World’ ,I was very happy that I could once again be allowed do something to help you in your vision for world peace.

When you asked for a song that the whole world could sing that would be the best song ever written I felt that I was unable to accomplish such a majestic mission. It was never that I doubted you your Holiness, I doubted myself. I believe that’s why in your wisdom you closed the letter by saying, “Tam Die, you can do it my son!”

So I began to retrace and research all the biggest world hits about unity to no avail.
I searched five days going through the exercise of finding a hit that could inspire me to achieve this quest.

Exhausted thoroughly I decided to meditate and go to bed. Early that next morning you came to me in a dream. You told me, “Tam Die my son! It is easy and the melody goes like this, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, etc......”

You actually sang the lead melody to me in a dream! I immediately went to the piano and played this melody in the same key you sang to me in my dream!

The miracle was that it matched perfectly with the lyrics you sent me!

As I began to put this magical musical puzzle together, tears of joy began to fall. Ivy told me before that to her the most difficult part of a song is the melody for it carries the words. If your melody is not strong, your words will be forgotten.

Because you sang it to me, the beautiful melody flowed out like honey. This is the third time this has happened in my life. The first time was Michael Jackson, the second was my mother after she went to the celestial realm, and the third time was you.

I cannot take credit for this melody because you sang it to me. In all of the 800 or more songs that I have written, not one has a melody so strong as this!

And then when you asked us to have the chorus sang in 8 languages , one by one the nations came forth to the last with no complications.

When you say' Tam Die' to me again I will never again waiver or hesitate.

Thank you for entrusting Ivy and I with the greatest honor to represent you and our Dhammakaya family on a song so important to the world and our future.

With love and the greatest respect,

Your ever devoted son,

Howard McCrary
