A Change Within


What’s wrong with the world today?

Why don’t you care about what you say?

I believe it’s time for change

A change within, we will arrange.

 

People used to treat each other

Like they were a brother

I believe it’s time for change,

A change within, we will arrange.

 

You wonder why

People want to cry

I believe it’s time for change,

A change within, we will arrange.

 

Yet when we ask,

We have one task

I believe it’s time for change,

A change within, we will arrange.

 

People need to love each other

And not be a bother

I believe it’s time for change,

A change within, we will arrange.

 

No need for nasty words,

These words don't need to be heard.

I believe it’s time for change,

A change within, we will arrange.

 

Instead of bringing each other down,

We need to put on a crown.

I believe it’s time for change,

A change within, we will arrange.

 

A crown for your kindness,

A crown for your highness.

I believe it’s time for change,

What will you arrange?
