Lyrics

Verse: 1
Certain things should happen
When you become a parent
The changing growth inside of you
Should first become apparent
But you were traumatized
And you've been the same since
Around the second birth
He lost all his innocence
Then he had to play the parent
Now he fights to reminisce
Not like all of it was bad
But there's little things he missed
Like peaceful holidays
That he heard about from friends
Where no one went to jail
And everybody wins
When vacuum pipes were tools
That were used to clean a house
Instead of swinging weapons
That were used to beat a spouse
Or the comfort of his bed
When he was on a stranger's couch
Or just a small reminder
When his future was in doubt
Or 'this might get you down,
But don't let it get you out.'
But he still used his wisdom
When he opened up his mouth
While adults are partly deaf
He still tried without a doubt
So that he could change the world
But he started in his house

Hook: 2x
One day, one day, one day
We'll make a change, we'll make a change
One day, one day, one day
We'll be the change (We'll be the change)

Verse: 2
He got a little lost
And then he was confused
But he learned a few things
That he had to learn from you
Your past is still your past
No matter what you do
But you've gotta keep perspective
'Cause it's all about the view
It's that moment that he knew
He's still seeing with his eyes
But the only view that really counts
Is what you view inside
If you don't like that view
You can strip out all the lies
No more compromise
Let your higher self arise
Let that take you by surprise
To the old you say goodbye
There's nothing you should hide
I would actually advise
You put all your pieces back
Even ones you try to hide
Then structure a mosaic
With the title of your life
And throw that picture up
You have got to claim your time
What we know is all we've got
But that's something we forgot
Now the choice is up to you
Time to play the cards you're dealt
If you learn to play them well
You'll save the world or save yourself

Hook: 2x
One day, one day, one day
We'll make a change, we'll make a change
One day, one day, one day
We'll be the change (We'll be the change)




We'll be the change
