Lately, the problems of the present have taken a toll
Hatred, oppression, intolerance, and a lack of empathy have robbed us of our hopes
And, slowly, I then begin to realize why all this unfolds
'Cuz these doubts and fears tear us apart, and destroy every ounce of faith that lies within our souls
I've had enough! I'm all over the hype!
'Cuz all of this amounts to nothing
When people play a role in tearing apart a person's whole life
The fact that nothing seems to spark up in their minds
That God made us all unique on the inside
Is something we can't ignore, 'cuz it isn't right!
HAS THIS WORLD GONE INSANE?!
Just why are there hateful folks who strive to take a life?
Why are there children who can't live a day without their lives in a downward slide?
Time passes away and lives are forgotten
But deep inside my soul emotions cling to me
'Cuz sometimes life may be dark and cold
But down in my heart there's still hope
That we can change the world
As I remember the children with futures stolen away, it torments my heart
Lives that were so young taken away by the careless misdeeds of others
Even from kids killing kids with no concern
(Young lives taken away)
Planet Earth, right now is the moment!
It's time to take action where it counts!
Should we allow our future to die of before it even starts?
If we can't respect our own flesh and blood now
And open our hearts to love one another
How can we expect humanity to survive?
HAS THIS WORLD GONE INSANE?!
Just why are there hateful folks who strive to take a life?
Why are there children who can't live a day without their lives in a downward slide?
Time passes away and lives are forgotten
But deep inside my soul emotions cling to me
'Cuz sometimes life may be dark and cold
But down in my heart there's still hope
That we can change the world
Just because we're burdened by hardships from every day
It doesn't mean we can't strive for a change
That rids us of the rancor plaguing our lives
Maybe someday, well overcome the hatred that shackles our esscene
And build a new unbreakable bond that will spare us from certain demise
Let's take that stand you and I!
Can we all stop and think of building a whole new life of civil unity (Let's work together)
And show all our children that all of their lives have worth with great possibilities (And make it as one! Change our world for the better)
I know in my soul that this is all worth it (Since I know that it's worth it)
The deep desire filled with love inspires me ('Cuz love inspires me!)
'Cuz even when troubles strike our souls
In ALL of our hearts there's still hope
That we can change the world
This world deserves better
Enough is enough! Change our hearts while we still can! (I know we can do it)
'Cuz we can change the world!
Yes, we can change the world!
Let the light of new hope keep shining in our hearts
And bring this whole world to a new start
Yes, we can change the world!
