Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you I'll change the world
No more wars
No more poverty
No more hurt
No more pain
You've showed me how to love again
For you I'll change the world
If I could change the world
Ooh, I would be the sunlight in your universe
Ooh, you would think my love was really
Something good baby (if I could)
Change
If I could
Change
If I could (yeah)
Change the world
Oh the world, the world, the world
Ooh there would be no more wars
Opportunity knockin' on doors for us (for us)
For us (for us)
Nobody ain't known each other (each other)
Fighters turn into lovers for us
For us (for us)
Ooh and when the moonlight turns to sunshine (sunshine)
Everybody wakin' up to abandon dream
Oh
'Cause everybody need what they want (they want)
But don't want what they need, let's talk about unity
Changin' the world
If I could change the world (hey yeah)
Ooh, I would be the sunlight in your universe
Ooh, you would think my love was really
Something good baby (if I could)
Change (change)
If I could (yeah)
Change
If I could (yeah)
Oh change the world
Oh the world, the world, the world
If I could change the world, I'd order
For the line to be erased at the border
This day (this day)
Everyone deserves an opportunity
There'd be no new world order
And nobody would of never got slaughtered
That way (that way)
There'd be so much more love and unity
Daughters would be close to they mothers
Sons would be raised by their fathers today (day)
A good family ain't nothing greater
Race crimes, hate crimes would never exist
I'll turn everyone into a hershey's kiss (kiss)
And we can eat away our fears ooh (fears)
If I could change the world
Ooh, I would be the sunlight in your universe
Ooh, you would think my love was really
Something good baby (if I could)
Change (yeah)
If I could (if I could, if I could I would change the world)
Change
If I could (yeah)
Change the world
The world, the world, the world
There would no self-hate
We will all have to love everything about ourselves (yeah)
So we can love everyone else
Nothing would hold us down (no)
Because we'll all walk around with a smile and never a frown
And that will remove those clouds
They'll be no more self-loathing
Everyone will know in their hearts that they're just fine (just fine)
That's when the light's gonna shine
Everyone will understand
And in order to have some peace you must believe
Believe the best in you
If I could change the world
Ooh, I would be the sunlight in your universe
Ooh, you would think my love was really
Something good baby (if I could)
Change (change the world)
If I could
Change (change the world)
If I could (if I could change the world)
Change the world
The world, the world, the world

"There'd be no new world order
And nobody would've never got slaughtered that way (that way)."
Unfortunately it's happening right now. Instead of writing songs about "change" they could do more to expose freemasons to stop it...
