It is my ten thousandth day today
I just wonder how many more I have left to say
A decade, or a year, or a month, no one can say
This is why I'm gonna choose to make a change
They say to change the world is a crazy things to do
Then maybe I'm really crazy that it sinks my teeth into
I'm really mad about it, we just watch the world fall down
I'm taking a risky leap to make people turn around
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
If my days are numbered I am not gonna be encumbered
To settle what's unfinished, time won't be a hinder
Why don't we recognize good when it's staring at our faces
People tend to see the light in the darkest place
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
This tune is about you and me, together being one
Despite our differences we got to have only one purpose
No discrimination like one nation
No color makes division, straighten up your back (uh)
Give me a little attention now
What war could ever bring the people to a better day?
A single life lost is a defeat at the end of the day
And so, I pray the people be in rhyme and in one harmony
If you agree, sing with me
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I'm gonna be the change
I won't stop just because the system isn't perfect
I'll try to make it better baby, that won't make me quit
