Change the world
[Awu]
I can, you can
Phoenix to Bamenda, Colby and Awu, we change the world
[Colby]
Yo I woke up this morning with a dream to change the world
Just want to bring a smile to every boy and every girl
Can’t do it by myself, on my own and all alone
The world needs changing now, so lets all get in the zone
Every woman, every man, come and join me lend a hand
It’s time to step it up and lead our children to the promised land
The golden age of unity, of freedom and equality
Peace on earth is possible, just need a new mentality
Open up your heart, and open up your mind
Open up your spirit, and guess what you will find
Instead of us vs. them, always focused on the enemy
You’ll see that your enemy is just like you and me
The world is one country, and mankind it’s citizens
Time to come together ya’ll, all seven billion
Turn war into peace, and hate into love
Turn your frown into a smile, go give somebody a hug
[Chorus]
I can, you can, we can change the world (x4)
[Awu]
Open up your hearts and minds, and face reality
Cuz there is some good within you, called peace and harmony
So see me as your brother, or your sister
I’ll move your mountain, and you move my mountain
Cuz the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step
African man says one hand can’t tie a broom
Let’s unite and see the world change from good to best
And put a smile on the face of mankind as we say
[Chorus]
I can, you can, we can change the world (x4)
[Colby]
So do unto others, as you’d have done to you
Cuz changing the world starts with the golden rule
We gotta celebrate diversity, and show love universally
Cuz everyone on earth is part of one community
Black, white, red, tan
Rich, poor, woman, man
Atheist, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Baha’I Buddhist, Sikh, or Hindu
What if you were judged for the language that you spoke
What kind of feelings do you think it would evoke
To be put down cuz of your race, or face religious persecution
Time to rid the world of prejudice, and start a revolution
I’m talking no more hunger ,and no more pain
No more violence, and no more slaves
No more hatred, and no more greed
No more homeless, or broken families
No more pollution, no more disease
No more corruption, no more poverty
No more discrimination, kids need an education
Gotta give hope to the up and coming generation
Look towards the future and forget about our sins
Take a moment to reflect, cuz the power is within
Sing it Awu!
[Chorus]
I can, you can, we can change the world (x4)
[Awu]
Every black man, and every white man
We are connected as one
So take my hand, I will take your hand
Then the dream will come true, we can all make a change
One people, one world, yedilay, yedilay, yedilay, yedilay, hoohoo, ya
Yedilay, yedilay, yedilay, yedilay, and so we say
[Chorus]
I can, you can, we can change the world (x4)
