Change the World
Babyface(베이비페이스) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’d pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth
That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems
But for now I find
It’s only in my dreams
That I can
Change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if I could
Change the world
If I could be king
Even for a day
I’d take you as my queen
I’d have it no other way
And our love would rule
In this kingdom that we had made
’til then i’ll be a fool
Wishing for a day
That I can
Change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby if I could
Change the world
The lyrics to Babyface's song "Change the World" speak to the desire to have limitless power and resources to make a loved one's life better. The singer uses the astronomical metaphor of reaching the stars to demonstrate this point, saying that if they could, they would pull a star from the sky and use it to shine light on their heart so that their beloved could see the truth of their love. The song expresses a deep yearning to be able to make tangible, positive changes in the world and in their loved one's life, to the point of wishing to be king for a day and take their beloved as their queen, creating a new kingdom in which their love could rule.

UNDERRATED!? What? You need to re-read the definition again, sis! He's called a lot of things --- and that word is NOT it, child! 😖
@deborahwilliamson5655
I have a difficult time feeling sorry for anyone who appears in good health, and has a bank account such as his. Underrated for me are the people who have similar talent, but won't ever get the opportunity to see their dreams come to fruition. His voice is beautiful, no doubt!!!
