Change (Save The World)


I see the people live
and I see them dying
I see the ones who give
and I see them crying
Why hurt the ones who help?
Who will help the hurt?
I hear the good ideas yelp
From the mouths they spurt

Who will act on these ideas?
Someone come and change the world
Who will put this into action?
Someone come and save the world

Those with the good thoughts
sit and do nothing to help
put them into actions
You must act to help
What will happen now?
All these ideas must
be put into action
Give all or we bust

Who will act on these ideas?
Someone come and change the world
Who will put this into action?
Someone come and save the world

This is not a dream
We wake to find all
these grand thoughts just words
no action here at all
But what can you do?
Start with the small things
Do the things you can
We’ll see what this brings

Who will act on these ideas?
Someone come and change the world
Who will put this into action?
Someone come and save the world

There’s too much violence
Teach civility
There’s too much crime
Teach respect
There’re too many lies
Teach truth
Racism is still there
Teach equality

Who will act on these ideas?
Someone come and change the world
Who will put this into action?
Someone come and save the world

There’s still too much violence
Be civil
There’s still too much crime
Be respectful
There’re still too many lies
Be truthful
Racism is still there
Live by equality

Who will act on these ideas?
Someone come and change the world
Who will put this into action?
Someone come and save the world
Who will act on these ideas?
Someone come and change the world
Who will put this into action?
Someone come and save the world
