[Verse 1]
You may not have all you want or you need
All that you have has been due to my hand

[Chorus]
It can change, it can stay the same
Who can say? Who can make their claim?

[Verse 2]
The situation we are in at this time
Neither a good one, nor is it so unblessed

[Chorus]
It can change, it can stay the same
I can say, I can make my claim

[Hook]
Hail, hail, hail, hail
Hail!

[Verse 3]
Unity's strength (inner strength)
And all must be as one (be as one)
Confidence in you (confidence)
Hope will reflect in me (hope in me)
I think everyone (everyone)
Not as my nation (as my nation)
For you are my people (and my friends)
And there must be no change
[Chorus]
It can change, it can stay the same
I will say, I will make my claim

[Hook]
Hail, hail, hail, hail
Hail!

[Keyboard Solo]

[Interlude]
Hail to power and to glory's way
Hail to power and to glory's way
Hail to power and to glory's way
Hail to power and to glory's way
Hail to power and to glory's way
Hail to power and to glory's way
Glory's way
Day by day, day by day
Day by, day by, day by
Day by, day by, day by
Day by, day by day

[Instrumental Break 04:35-05:11]
[Verse 4]
The situation we are in at this time
Neither a good one, nor is it so unblessed

[Chorus]
It can change, it can stay the same
I can say, I can make my claim

[Verse 5]
Unity's strength (inner strength)
And all must be as one (be as one)
Confidence in you (confidence)
Hope will reflect in me (hope in me)
I think everyone (everyone)
Not as my nation (as my nation)
For you are my people (and my friends)
And there must be no change

[Chorus]
It can change, it can stay the same
I will say, I will make my claim
