Shungudzo - The World Can’t Change For You, but You Can Change the World lyrics

[Verse 1] It's the way you love every living thing It's the way you'll cry when the bad guy wins It's those deep brown eyes that can see through sin To a hurt person that you understand It's the way you'll ask me the question, "Why?" Why is it so blue? Why's it called a sky? Why do rich men feast while we're scraping by? Why am I alive? [Chorus] Mama said "The world can't change for you, my girl But you can change the world" Mama said "The world can't change for you, my girl But you can change the world" [Verse 2] It's a noble thing to show up for change I was in the streets when I was 'bout your age I know it seems like we turned a page Just to turn it back again But I see the flowers growing Where they never grew before And there used to be a brick wall Where there's now an open door [Chorus] Mama said "The world can't change for you, my girl But you can change the world" Mama said "The world can't change for you, my girl But you can change the world" [Outro] If you can imagine it then it can happen If you can imagine it then it can happen If you can imagine it then it can happen If you can imagine it then it can happen Change the world Change, change the world
