lyrics

There are People dancing in the mud
And everybody’s happy and smilin high and so full of love

Because of all the People up there on the stage
But somewhere People kill other People in hatred and rage

Despite all these People that are dancing in the rain
There are all of these other People intent on causing pain

And I’m hopin these People that sometimes I have been
Will somehow hear a song that will change their ways the way songs have changed me

But that relies on People singing out this song
Spreadin this message around the world so they can see they’re wrong

So come on all you People sing out loud with me
And as People lets tell the People to come along and be

Yeah to come on and be
The change in the world
You want to see

So one time there was these People and they were stolen from their land
And probably the People my People came from did it with their own hands

And though I’m not the People that treated them this way
I can tell all of those stolen People I’m sorry anyway

But there’s still lots of People getting stolen today
Being broken by other People killed and chased away

Because these other People just don’t want to see
That Peoples is just Peoples despite their colour race or breed

And then there’s all these bigger People in their own eyes at least
Who think that bombs guns and war are the way to bring peace

So come on and be
The change in the world
You want to see

There are many People who taught this song to me
I can’t name them all so I’ll just name one he was a fella called Ghandi

So look out for the People who can teach you a song
And be sure that you play your part, pass that message along

And then one day these People well they finally might be
Just as safe happy free and fine as you and as me

Till then lets tell the People to sing out loud with me
And as People lets tell the People to come along and be

To come on and be
The change in the world
We all want to see
