This world's in trouble, you know it's true
But who has the answers to help us get through?
We look to our leaders, they politely yawn
The press gives coverage, and the world goes on

This song won't stop the world from goin' round
'Cause a song can't stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you

The radio's blasting, the music's loud
A message is given to a face in the crowd
By a prophet of music, a poet of song
The truth is spoken, and the world goes on

This song won't stop the world from goin' round
'Cause a song can't stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
