Change The World
Wayne Kirkpatrick Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could reach the stars
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 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

If I 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

Wayne Kirkpatrick has the sweetest tastes in his songs and his airy, light and syncopated arrangements. In my mind he shares those unique & beautiful qualities with only a VERY few other popular contemporary writers. IE: Paul Simon, Sara Bareilles, Andy Sturmer, Brent Bourgeois. He seems to value his privacy, which I admire and appreciate. He lends his talent and lets others cast their shadow in the brilliant light of his music. COOOOL.
