-The Alternate Root-

If you could change the world with your music what song would you write? Would it be about racism, gay rights, government spending, global warming, women's rights, war? Would be about America or America's problems? Would it be about human trafficking, helping the poor or saving the planet? The plight of Native Americans or the homeless? Well if you think that music has the power to effect social change we want to hear from you and we want to hear your songs.
