Lyrics

Change the World

[Verse 1]

It ain't mine

It ain't yours

But I'm here

I ain't goin' anywhere

It ain't his

It ain't hers

It's for all

Is that somethin' we can learn?

[Pre-Chorus]

It's time we stop all the hatin'

Let's start today

Go find a way to

[Chorus]

Change the world

Gotta change the world

Go change the world

Gotta change this world

[Verse 2]

Well, do ya care

'Bout what's fair?

It don't matter

As long as you get your share

Now I see

Disparity

What needs to be

Hell, it isn't charity

[Pre-Chorus]

It's time we stop all the fightin'

Let's start today

Go find a way to

[Chorus]

Change the world

Gotta change this world

Go change the world

Gotta change this world

[Bridge]

I dare ya

Are ya scared?

I dare ya

Are ya scared?

[Guitar Solo]

Whoo

[Pre-Chorus]

It's time we stop all the hatin'

Let's start today

Go find a way to

[Chorus]

Change the world

Gotta change the world

Go change the world

Gotta change this world

Can you change the world?

Gotta change this world

Go change the world

Gotta change this world

[Outro]

Damn, man

We might never get it
