Be the Change
When I look out through my eyes, I
See a world in great disguise, and
Everybody's got a story to tell
Like the man at the end of the road, who
Stands outside in the freezing cold, he's
Got no bills, he's got not money to pay, them anyway
When he's standin' there, he's standin' tall, even though
People look at him so small, he's got his
Pride out on a piece of cardboard, sayin'
"Close your mind, open your heart" and
Be the change
For someone else, for someone else
Be the change
For someone else
No he
Never changes, wears the same clothes, that
I saw him in yesterday, and
The day before and the day before that
Never giving up, he just keeps on livin'
He's got no home of brick and mortar, no
Address listed in the phone book, and
Yeah I've heard it all before
He's probably on drugs and drinks his sorrows, well
My father said "don't judge someone else, just
Give a little of yourself
You can't be the jury on this guy
He's got it way harder than you and I", oh
When it's cold, it's really cold
The skies are dark and no one knows, that
He's livin' on these streets alone
And when it rains it really pours down on him
Be the change
For someone else, for someone else
Be the change
For someone else, for someone else
Sometimes I need to remind myself
My good fortune's in my health
I've got shelter from the rain, and
I've got medicine for pain
When the world of some has seen better days
I thank God that I'm ok
Though it's easier to turn away
You gotta find the strength to be the change
Oh
Be the change
No he's not lookin' for sympathy, just to
Catch a break from you and me
His belongings are not worth a cent, but
His soul is rich with good intent
Came from far away to repay a debt
A grudge his daughter won't forget
He knew signing up for this was hard, but
He's tryin' to mend a broken heart, and
Be the change
For someone else, for someone else
Be the change
For someone else, for someone else
Be the change
For someone else, for someone else
Be the change you wanna see in the world
Share with everyone the things that you've learned
Be the change you wanna see in the world (For someone else, for someone else)
Be the change you wanna see in the world (Yeah)
Share with everyone the things that you've learned (Yeah)
Be the change you wanna see in the world (Yeah)
Be the change you wanna see in the world (Yeah)
Share with everyone the things that you've learned (Yeah)
Be the change you wanna see in the world (Yeah)
Be the, be the change!
See a world in great disguise, and
Everybody's got a story to tell
Like the man at the end of the road, who
Stands outside in the freezing cold, he's
Got no bills, he's got not money to pay, them anyway
When he's standin' there, he's standin' tall, even though
