Lyrics
We Can Change Things
Listen my child; I?ve a tale to tell
It ?s a lesson you need to learn well
It?s about helping others who differ from you
It?s about good things people can do
A man named Hitler, sent Jews away
And Japanese were kept in camps
After Pearl Harbor day
Africans were sold as slaves
And taken from their land
How can people be treated like this?
I don?t understand.
We can change things so it can happen again
Accept one another; Learn to be a friend
We can help others and they can change, too
It?s easy if you learn it begins with you.
Some people walk with crutches,
Some move in a chair
There are people who are blind
And people who can?t hear
People often turn away
And treat them differently
Our hearts and minds all work the same
Let?s change things you and me.
Take a first step. It begins with you.
