lyrics

if i want to change the world/ i’ve got to be the change first /if i want to change the world / got to be the change, got to be the change

when i’m hating on another, sending hate mail to myself / that negative energy turns right back around on me / i’d rather spend my time wishing you well / my mind’s a money tree and positivity is its wealth / my body is a temple and my heart a living prayer / my soul roots in empathy my limbs branch out with care / for communities near and far, i hope your dreams are sweet / i don’t know who you are but i hope someday we’ll meet /

if i want to change the world/ i’ve got to be the change first /if i want to change the world / got to be the change, got to be the change

the grass can be greener everywhere we reside / no life has to suffer for the quality of mine / assumptions and conclusions that suggest otherwise / are calculated by society for our demise / everything we need is everything this earth provides / profits want to stop us so that they can survive / but the secret to life is love, the secret to life is love /

if i want to change the world/ i’ve got to be the change first /if we want to change the world / got to be the change, got to be the change

black lives matter / brown lives matter / lgbtq and families coming through mexico matter / equitable rights matter / equitable pay matters / my choice matters / her voice matters / their vote matters / justice for the slain / safe schools and climate change / prisons and health care shouldn’t be for profitable gain / if you ever feel alone to be afraid to share your pain / if you ever feel alone to be afraid to share your pain / if you ever feel alone to be afraid to share your pain / ‘cause you matter / it’s time to stand and demand a new chapter / let’s write it with compassion and affirmative action / it’s about response verses reaction in every interaction / for one planet, one love, one planet, one love

if we want to change the world/ we’ve got to be the change first /if we want to change the world / got to be the change, got to be the change / got to be the change, got to be the change, got to be the change, got to be the change
