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
