Lyrics
Change The World lyrics by Patrick Welch and Bobby Sahlen
Got to get up off your chair and make your feelings known
Got to get up on your feet to show the way you've grown
(CHORUS)
We've got the power of the people, got the power of the soul
It's the winning combination; our goal to change the world (chorus)
Let's all join together, if only for awhile
Peace, love and harmony, give thanks, give a smile (chorus)
BRIDGE
Change the world; you know we can
Change the world, restore the land
Change the world, let's all join hands
Change the world; imagine, if you can!
Sheltering in place; we're not going anywhere
Wearing masks; respecting those who breathe our air (chorus)
Thank God for the springtime; bright flowers share out space
Despite our challenges, they still show their face. (chorus)
BREAK
Repeat BRIDGE
We're all in this together to take moral stand
We've got to make some changes as we take back our land,
