Change The World
Sting Ft. Eric Clapton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And I can change the world
I will 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 will rule
In this kingdom that we have made
'Til then I'll be a fool
Wishing for the 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
Baby, if I could change the world
I could 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
Baby, if I could change the world
Baby, if I could change the world

If I could reach the stars
If I could achieve the impossible
I'd pull one down for you
I'd do anything to make you happy
Shine it on my heart
Reflect my deep feelings for you
So you could see the truth
So you could understand how much I love you
That this love I have inside
My feelings towards you
Is everything it seems
Is as real as it appears to be
But for now I find
But for now, it seems
It's only in my dreams
I can't make it a reality yet
That I can
At present, All I am capable of is
Change the world
Achieving great things for you
I would be the sunlight in your universe
I would fill your world with warmth and light
You would think my love was really something good
You would appreciate the magnitude of my love
Baby if I could
If I had the power to do so,'
If I could be king
If I had ultimate power
Even for a day
Even if it were just for a day
I'd take you as my queen
I would make you ruler alongside me
I'd have it no other way
I wouldn't want anyone else as my partner
And our love would rule
Our relationship would be the cornerstone of our leadership
In this kingdom that we had made
In the ideal world we have created
'til then i'll be a fool
Until then, I will be foolishly romantic
Wishing for a day
Dreaming of a time

Is everything it seems
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams
And I can change the world
I will 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 we have made
'Til then I'd be a fool
Wishing for the day
And 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
Baby, if I could change
the world
I could, 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
Baby, if I could change the world
Baby, if I could change the world
