So we're just laying here
Contemplating here
Thinkin' ‘bout what worries you and me
A very wise man said
Get up out your head
And be the change in the world you want to see
Said I could be the change in the world
And you could be the change in the world
We could be the change in the world
I want to make it happen with you
Sometimes it's just the smallest thing
That turns into a dream
You take a vision and try to make it stand
By teaching each other
Easing someone's struggle
In any way that I can
I wanna lend a helping hand
I want to be the change in the world
And you can be the change in the world
We could make a change in the world yeah
I want to make it happen with you
Said I could be the change in the world yeah
And you could be the change in the world yeah yeah
Time to make a change in the world
I want to make it happen with you
Like it's my duty
I'll create some beauty
I'll move somebody with a song
Teach kids to play and sing along
Make sure that people can eat
Ain't sleeping out in the street
Don't let the pills and the lies
Keep people falling asleep
And when the system is wrong
Stand up, say what you believe
We've got to open our eyes
Don't let corruption dictate
Tear the roof off the truth
Love is stronger…
Love is stronger than anything
Time to make a change in the world
We could make a change yeah
Wanna see a change in my lifetime
Oh I want to make it happen
I want to make it happen
Change in this world
Don't you wanna see a change oh
I want to make it happen
With you, oh with you
In my lifetime
In this lifetime
Time to make a change
