I sat down to write a song That would change the world It would ease your pain with only words I would create a rhyme Touch your soul and ease your mind I sat down to write a song
Governments and presidents Would heed my words Stop with the politics and slinging dirt The music would make 'em move Serve the people do only good I sat down to write a song
I write a song that would change the world
Brothers and sisters would stop their wars Hear the sound of my voice And wonder what they're fighting for Hatred and jealousy would disappear from humanity I write a song
I sat down to write a song that would change the world It would ease your pain with only words Silly me to think that I could write this song I had to try so, I write a song
