The world can't change for you, but you can change the world - Shungudzo

It’s the way you love every living thing

It’s the way you’ll cry when the bad guy wins

It’s those deep brown eyes that can see through sin

To a hurt person that you understand

It’s the way you’ll ask me the question, «Why?»

Why is it so blue?

Why’s it called a sky?

Why do rich men feast while we’re scraping by?

Why am I alive?

«The world can’t change for you, my girl

But you can change the world»

«The world can’t change for you, my girl

But you can change the world»

It’s a noble thing to show up for change

I was in the streets when I was 'bout your age

I know it seems like we turned a page

Just to turn it back again

But I see the flowers growing

Where they never grew before

And there used to be a brick wall

Where there’s now an open door

«The world can’t change for you, my girl

But you can change the world»

«The world can’t change for you, my girl

But you can change the world»

If you can imagine it then it can happen

If you can imagine it then it can happen

If you can imagine it then it can happen

If you can imagine it then it can happen

Change the world

Change, change the world
