Be the Change (The Shelter)

Every day, you say, "I will make a better world" Life is not a fairy tale, no, not for boys and girls We got to Stop the talking, got to get down Stop the talking, got to get down Intentions only take you far When you're on the road Don't wait around for people to Do what you should do You got to Stop the talking, got to get down Stop the talking, got to get down So, be the change, so, be the shelter So, be the one who's standin' up when they're lookin' at ya So, be the change, so, be the shelter Don't be tomorrow, waitin' for the day to pass ya A heavy heart can slow you down When you're not aware Clear the spaces in your mind Stop to breathe the air Lay a brick day by day Build your house of love Show that there's a better way To help us rise above You got to Stop the talking, got to get down Stop the talking, got to get down So, be the change, so, be the shelter So, be the one who's standin' up when they're lookin' at ya So, be the change, so, be the shelter Don't be tomorrow, waitin' for the day to pass ya If not now, then when? Just begin If not now, then when? So, be the change, so, be the shelter So, be the one who's standin' up when they're lookin' at ya So, be the change, so, be the shelter Don't be tomorrow, waitin' for the day to pass ya
