lyrics

Good times bad for some
So long as that's true
Gonna be a struggle
Working alongside you
Someone falls they’re left there
Like stairs to be climbed
Seems we're not much closer
To leaving this behind

Got to be the change
That you want in this world
Got to be the change
That you want in this world


Patience ain't a virtue
When children go to bed
With nothing in their bellies
And numbers on their heads
Ain't no trickle down
With them fences in
Sins of the father
Remember where we've been

Got to be the change
Got to be the change

I'm gonna leave right now
Who's gonna come with me?
Set yourself a movin'
And set your brother free

So as rivers flow
Unvexed to the sea
Open your eyes
And you may see
How many to cross
To touch the sky
For all men born
So too will die so...

Got to be the change
Got to be the change
