“Wishing for a day when we don’t have to hide who we are, how we pray how we love…/Where people stand up, stand up for what’s right.” This song invites the audience to look within and envision how each of us changes the world with every action we take. It asks listeners to think about what they can do to make the world a more just and peaceful place.
Verse 1
Wishing for the day where we don’t have to hide -- who we
are, how we pray, how we love -- it’s all right
Everyone gets the chance to speak their mind
And people stand up - stand up for what’s right
How about you- would you make that change?
How about me - will i do the same?
Oh-oh-oh--
Verse 2
Wishing for a time when the world’s safe for all
And no matter who it is there’s help when we fall
No one feels alone - love is the call
And people feel safe without borders, or walls
How about you - would you make that change?
How about me - will I do the same?
Oh-oh-oh--
Chorus:
Wishing we could change the world
One by one we’ll change the world!
Yes, you know you - you change the world
So what will you do - you change the world
Bridge:
Wishing is hoping all our dreams come true
When things are broken I wish they were new
Wish I could fly, wish I could touch the sky
Wish you could hear me wish
Chorus
Outro
I wish we could change it, change it
What will you do? Yea, yea, yea yea
Let’s change it, change it, change it
One by one - we can change it! Yea, yea, yea yea
Change it, change it, change it
I believe I believe I believe we can change it
Change it, change it, change it
Together we change it!
Together we change it.
