Lyrics and Music: Jonathan Harper, Emmanuel Gilligan

"WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD"

Verse 1
You can't change the stormy weather,
You can't change the sands of time,
You can't change the rugged mountains
So they're easier to climb.
But you can change somebody's life
Just by giving them your own.
One by one we'll change the world,
So come on sing this song.

Chorus 1
You can change yourself,
It might take a little while.
You can change your friends
Just by giving them a smile.
We can change the world,
And we've got so little time
To chase away the darkness
And fill the world with light.

Verse 2
You can't stop the rain from falling,
You can't stop the ocean's tide,
You can't stop the sun from shining
Even if you tried.
But you can stop that empty feeling
Of being all alone.
Just put love in someone's life;
You'll find love is in your own.

Chorus 2
You can change yourself,
It might take a little while.
You can change your friends
Just by giving them a smile.
We can change the world,
And get together while there's time.
We'll chase away the darkness
And fill the world with light.

Fill the world with light,
With love we'll be allright.
Fill the world with light,
With love we'll be allright.
Fill the world with light,
With love we'll be allright.
Fill the world with light
