Lyrics The world can't change for you, but you can change the world - Shungudzo

The world can't change for you, but you can change the world

It’s the way you love every living thing
It’s the way you’ll cry when the bad guy wins
It’s those deep brown eyes that can see through sin
To a hurt person that you understand
It’s the way you’ll ask me the question, «Why?»
Why is it so blue?
Why’s it called a sky?
Why do rich men feast while we’re scraping by?
Why am I alive?
Mama said
«The world can’t change for you, my girl
But you can change the world»
Mama said
«The world can’t change for you, my girl
But you can change the world»
It’s a noble thing to show up for change
I was in the streets when I was 'bout your age
I know it seems like we turned a page
Just to turn it back again
But I see the flowers growing
Where they never grew before
And there used to be a brick wall
Where there’s now an open door
Mama said
«The world can’t change for you, my girl
But you can change the world»
Mama said
«The world can’t change for you, my girl
But you can change the world»
If you can imagine it then it can happen
If you can imagine it then it can happen
If you can imagine it then it can happen
If you can imagine it then it can happen
Change the world
Change, change the world
