Change the World
Wynonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart, so you could see the truth
That this love inside, is everything it seems
But for now I find, it's only in my dreams
[Chorus]
That I can change the world
You would think my love was somethin' good
Baby, if I could change the world
If I could be a queen, even for a day
I'd take you as my king, I'd have it no other way
And our love would rule, in this kingdom that we made
'Til then I'll be a fool, wishin' for the day
[Chorus]
