No one can deny it-
The world is broken.
There are some that say
it's beyond repair.
Everyday it seems
The sky is fallin'
You don't feel safe, you're losin' faith-
drownin in despair.
You can't shake the feelin' ?
the ship is sinkin-
like you're being tossed
on an angry sea
Don't start to believe
that the future's hopeless
just close your eyes, and look inside
Your mind can set you free
This world is like a giant mirror
reflectin' you and me
We can shape reality,
so be the change you wanna see
Change you wanna see
Be the change, go and be the change, the change
Lift up those around you-
see their potential
Heal the world with love
keep an open mind.
when you face each day
with optimism.
and stay true in all you do
Life pays it back in kind.
This world is like a giant mirror
Reflectin' you and me
We can shape reality,
so be the change you wanna see
Change you wanna see
The change
There's no better time to take action.
Waitin' 'round and hopin' -
will take you nowhere.
The bridge we're needin'
won't build itself.
Just dreamin' of nirvana
won't get us there-
Change is a journey we can share.

This world is like a giant mirror
Reflectin' you and me
We can shape reality,
so be the change you wanna see
Change you wanna see
Be the change, go and be the change, the change (repeat)
