Listen for a Change
Do you remember being younger
And caring till it hurt
Singing for an end to hunger
Here on planet earth
How could you grow up to forget it
How could you lose your way
Was all that caring only dressing
On your salad days
Turn the dial on the radio
It's what the kid in you would say
Cause Peace Love and Understanding
Well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time, no
And it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change, oh
Why don't we listen for a change
Listen for a change
Do you remember leaving school and
Making your way home
Scratching out your list of wishes
Before you had a phone
And getting rich was never on there
And you'd never go to war
It's lucky I'm here to remind you
It's what you made me for
Turn the dial on the radio
It's what the kid in you would say
Cause Peace Love and Understanding
Well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time, no
And it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change, oh
Why don't we listen for a change
Well, do you remember
Do you remember getting better
And learning all the chords
All that singing and late-night playing
Until you knew em all
For all their talk and good intentions
It turns out they were wrong
War's not over, it's not enough
To want it in a song
Turn the dial on the radio
It's what the kid in you would say
Cause Peace Love and Understanding
Well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time, no
And it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change, oh
Why don't we listen for a change
Listen for a change
Listen for a change
And caring till it hurt
Singing for an end to hunger
Here on planet earth
How could you grow up to forget it
How could you lose your way
Was all that caring only dressing
On your salad days
Turn the dial on the radio
It's what the kid in you would say
Cause Peace Love and Understanding
Well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time, no
And it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change, oh
Why don't we listen for a change
Listen for a change
Do you remember leaving school and
Making your way home
Scratching out your list of wishes
Before you had a phone
And getting rich was never on there
And you'd never go to war
It's lucky I'm here to remind you
It's what you made me for
Turn the dial on the radio
It's what the kid in you would say
Cause Peace Love and Understanding
Well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time, no
And it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change, oh
Why don't we listen for a change
Well, do you remember
Do you remember getting better
And learning all the chords
All that singing and late-night playing
Until you knew em all
For all their talk and good intentions
It turns out they were wrong
War's not over, it's not enough
To want it in a song
Turn the dial on the radio
It's what the kid in you would say
Cause Peace Love and Understanding
Well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time, no
And it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change, oh
Why don't we listen for a change
Listen for a change
Listen for a change
