In 2007, I performed this song at a benefit concert (with Dudu Manhenga and the Zimbabwean Idol) in Harare, Zimbabwe for Women Affected by HIV and AIDS. It was one of the single most memorable events in my life. The people I met in Zimbabwe were some of the most optimistic and resilient individuals I have been fortunate enough to know. Change IS on its way.

Lyrics by: Angela Evans
There is a whisper in the air,
There is a whisper in the air,
Change is on its way,
Change is on its way,
Change is on its way.
Let’s stand for something,
Let’s stand for something,
Let’s dig our heels in,
Let’s raise the roof.
There is a whisper in the air,
A whisper in the air,
A whisper in the air.
And if you wonder where your voice is,
It’s right beside your heart,
If you wonder who will listen,
It’s anyone who dares.
There is a whisper in the air,
A whisper in the air,
A whisper in the air.
I can hear it,
I can hear it,
I can hear it,
I can hear it...
There is a whisper in the air,
A whisper in the air,
A whisper in the air.
