Lyrics
Be The Change
September 27, 2006.
Verse:
Well have you ever felt
As if your light was overwhelmed
By all the pressures that surround you
And all the struggles that have found you
Pre-Chorus:
Well now don't you hide your light
Take a chance and open wide
Chorus:
And you will be the change; you will be the change;
You will be the change that you wanna see
And the world will change if you be the change;
If you be the change that you wanna see in the world
Verse:
Well have you ever thought
That you are powerless and flawed
Have you questioned, "Who am I?
"What can I do with one small life?"
Pre-Chorus 2:
Well now don't you hide your light
Bring it forth and open wide
Chorus:
And you will be the change; you will be the change;
You will be the change that you wanna see
And the world will change if you be the change;
If you be the change that you wanna see the world
Bridge:
Well gather 'round this song my friends
Sing it loud and raise your hands
And as we sing we'll start to shine
We'll become a nation made of light
Chorus:
And we will be the change; we will be the change;
We will be the change that we wanna see
And the world will change, if we be the change;
If we be the change that we wanna see
And the world will change; if we be the change;
If we be the change that we wanna see
And the world will change, if we be the change;
If we be the change that we wanna see in the world
