BC Music Goodie Bag: Kid Rock, Wayne Brady, The Verve, Brandon Rogers, John Legend, and Backyard Tire Fire - Page 3

Legend sings, " If you're ready/ we can shake the world/ Believe again/ It starts within/ We don't have to wait for destiny/ We should be the change that we want to see." The song seems to meld perfectly with the Democratic candidate's message of hope and change. Enjoy the embedded video below, or you can download the song for free from Barack Obama's website.
