[Verse 1]
What you gonna do with the thirty-six cents
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
On a sidewalk vent, trying to keep warm?
Do you call her over, hand her the change
Ask her story, ask her her name?
Or do you tell yourself

[Interlude]
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"

[Verse 2]
Oh, what you gonna do when you're watching TV
And an ad comes on, yeah, you know the kind
Flashing up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day, you could save a life
Do you call the number, reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel, call it a scam?
Do you tell yourself

[Chorus]
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Don't listen to 'em when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't listen to 'em when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
[Bridge]
The world's so big, it can break your heart
And you just wanna help, not sure where to start
So you close your eyes
And send up a prayer into the dark

[Chorus]
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Don't listen to 'em when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don't you listen to 'em when they say
"You're just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world"
