Joel Wiggins - Better People (CCM)

In a world plagued by injustice and inequality, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. But in the midst of all the chaos and pain, one artist is using his voice to remind us of the power of compassion and kindness.

Joel Wiggins, a talented musician, has just released a new song called 'Better People' that asks the question we all need to hear: 'Why can't we just be better people?'

Through the lyrics, Joel challenges listeners to think about the world around them and the pain and suffering caused by the lack of compassion and kindness. He sings, 'I don’t understand what’s going on in this world / I don’t understand the pain and suffering and all the hurt / I don’t understand why we can’t show compassion and just be kind / It really really blows my mind.'

But 'Better People' isn't just a song about pointing out problems, it's also a call to action. The chorus reminds us that 'it don’t take much to show a smile and ask are you okay?' and that we all have the power to make a difference in the world, 'Why can’t we just be better people? / Better people in this world.'

The song also addresses the issues of war and injustice, highlighting that these issues are not just happening in faraway places, but also in our own communities. With lyrics such as 'I don’t understand the fighting and all the murder and all the war / I don’t understand injustice it makes you question what’s it for?' Joel is reminding us that these issues are not something that can be ignored.

The song's bridge also emphasizes that it’s not that hard to just be nice and that everyone should strive to understand and realize that all this fighting makes no sense and it’s time to show the world our very best.

'Better People' is a powerful and thought-provoking song that challenges us to think about the world we live in and our role in it. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we all have the power to make a difference, simply by being kind and compassionate to those around us. Let us all strive to be 'Better People' in this world. Don't wait for someone else to begin. Be the change, be a better person.
