Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To change the world, to change the world?
What if my only responsibility was
To change the world, change the world?
Let me be the one to start a revolution
Let me sing my song to the people of the world
Joining the hundreds of millions of people believing
In one, the power of one
Don't hang around, stand up or sit down and believe
We can change the world together
We can change the world together
What kind of love can conquer disease?
And change the world, change the world?
What I can do to make poverty history
And change the world, change the world?
Let me be the one to start a revolution
Let me sing my song to the people of the world
To the children of the world
It all begins with one, the power of one
Joining the hundreds of millions of people believing
In one, the power of one
Don't hang around, stand up or sit down and believe
We can change the world together

Please don't close your eyes, please don't turn away
Let your voices rise, put love on display
And make a difference now
