Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Somebody shakes when the wind blows

Somebody's missing a friend, hold on

Somebody's lacking a hero

And they have not a clue when it's all gonna end again

Stories buried and untold

Someone is hiding the truth, hold on

When will this mystery unfold?

And will the sun ever shine in the blind man's eyes when he cries?

[Chorus]

You can change the world

I can't do it by myself

You can touch the sky

Gonna take somebody's help

You're the chosen one

I'm gonna need some kind of sign

If we all cry at the same time tonight

[Verse 2]

People laugh when they're feeling sad

Someone is takin' a life, hold on

Respect to believe in your dreams

Tell me, where were you when your children cried last night?

Faces fill with madness, oh

Miracles unheard of, hold on

Faith is found in the winds

All we have to do is to reach for the truth, the truth

[Chorus]

You can change the world

I can't do it by myself

You can touch the sky

It's gonna take somebody's help

You're the chosen one

I'm gonna need some kind of sign

If we all cry at the same time tonight

[Bridge]

And when that flag blows

There'll be no more wars

And when all calls

I will answer all your prayers, prayers to the world

[Chorus]

You can change the world

I can't do it by myself

You can touch the sky

Gonna take somebody's help

You're the chosen one

Come on, I need some kind of sign

If we all cry at the same time tonight

Cry with me

[Chorus]

You can change the world

I can't do it by myself, alright

You can touch the sky

Gonna take somebody's help

You're the chosen one

I'm gonna need some kind of sign

If we all cry at the same time tonight

Cry with me

[Chorus]

You can change the world

You can touch the sky

Gonna take somebody's help

You're the chosen one

I'm gonna need some kind of sign

If we all cry at the same time tonight

If we all cry at the same time tonight

If we all cry at the same time tonight

[Outro]

Change the world
