Change It
[DORALEE]
Somethin' gotcha down?
Gotcha chained and bound?

[DORALEE, JUDY & VIOLET]
Well break it

[DORALEE]
If you built a wall
And you know it needs to fall

[DORALEE, JUDY & VIOLET]
Then shake it

[DORALEE]
Somethin' that you know is damin' up the flow
Tear the damn dam down, let me explain it:
If you don't take the reins it's gonna stay the same

[DORALEE, VIOLET, & JUDY]
Nothin's gonna change if you don't change it!

[JUDY]
Something on your mind is naggin' all the time
Well, nix it
[VIOLET]
Something in your life isn't sitting right
Then fix it

[DORALEE]
If you've lost your place
Somethin' in your face
All the do-da day
And you can't name it

[DORALEE & OTHERS]
That feeling in your gut

[DORALEE, VIOLET, & OTHERS]
That's got you in a rut

[DORALEE, VIOLET, & JUDY]
You're made of better stuff
And you can change it

[DORALEE]
You don't want your little light to never shine!

For those who care to claim it
