I am an eternal optimist, glass half full kind of person. I wholeheartedly believe the words in that song. Being part of a faith based community is where I see and do a lot of what the song is talking about.
Just holding my child with my own two hands makes the world a brighter place.
My faith gives me a framework to act on things big and small that I see as problems in the world. As a Jew I have a whole list of mitzvahs or commandements that I must fufill every day, whenever I encounter the opportunity. That is what motivates me.
I don't think you need any kind of religious practice though. This is just what works for me.
