CHUCKIE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now is the time, we cannot turn back
Be the change!
When freedom comes to us either by malice or by vote?
We cannot walk alone
For we starve for justice
We hunger for dignity
Be the change!
One day live in a nation
Where they will not be judged by the color of their skin
But by the content of their character
Stand up for freedom together!
Be the change!
Be the change!
Come on and see this world
Be the change!
Come on and see this world
The decision is ours
Together we shall save our planet
Save it, we can
Save it, we must
Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great
You can be that great generation
That sort of man's attitude really seems to be innocent
Be the change!
Freedom has many different colours
Be the change!
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring!
Into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood
Be the change!
Be the change!
Be the change!
