Story Behind The Song

As a John Lennon fan and a product of the sixties, frustration about the world condition today prompted me to write something positive about not giving up.

Song Description

Employing references to songs and lyrics from the sixties in the verses, the chorus "we can change the world" is a positive anthem for change. Piano and vocals with a little string background is the primary mke-up of the song.

Lyrics

Change the World

When I was young, we thought
We could save the world,
By singing songs, of love and peace
We'd all come together and let it be

With the moon in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligned with Mars
We sang songs, in the streets for what it's worth
And we let the sun shine in


Well we all joined, with the cat
All aboard the peace train
Such young rascals, we were all singing out
"people got to be free"

We can't stop dreamin' now, we gotta keep believin' how
We can change the world, We can change the world.
(Instrumental)
We can't stop dreamin' now, we gotta keep believin' how
We can change the world, We can change the world.


Now the times they are a changing
And the changes are blowin' in the wind
I believe it's getting better all the time
And we can work it out

So let's all sing together now, all together now....
[[We can change the world, We can change the world.]]
