Rockers Come Together
A Musical Tribute to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
“IF I HAD THE TIME (I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD)”
Dick Wagner & the Rockers for St. Jude
Featuring Mark Farner and Trini Lopez
In one of the most memorable collaborations since “We Are the World,” the Rockers for St. Jude, a gathering of celebrated musicians from the history of rock ‘n’ roll, joined talents in Los Angeles to record “If I Had the Time (I Could Change the World.)” Available now on digital download sites around the world, including iTunes, Amazon.com, and CDBaby, fifty cents from each download of the song will benefit the work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® in finding cures for pediatric catastrophic diseases. The Rockers for St. Jude challenge rock ‘n’ roll fans around the world to spreading “rock n hope” by downloading and sharing the song this holiday season.
“There is more love in the human heart than can ever be given away.
This song is about giving a small part of that endless supply in your heart.”
Dick Wagner
Producer Wagner adds, “When I decided to write a song to benefit the St. Jude’s children, I thought aboutwhat a song can mean in the context of our inner lives, the part that is willing to give, to help others in a time of need. ‘If I Had the Time (I Could Change the World)’ reflects the notion that we can do something positive to help change lives. The children are the purpose of this song, and everyone who participates in this recording gives a little of themselves. By downloading this song, we can all make a difference – one download at a time. We can literally change the world for a child.”

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by the late entertainer and visionary, Danny Thomas, on his belief that “No child should die in the dawn of life.” Through the generous support of donors, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
