“Change the World” Lyrics and Video by Colby Jeffers and Awu

[Awu] I can, you can, yeah
Phoenix to Bamenda, Colby and Awu, Change the World,

[Colby] Yo I woke up this morning with a dream to change the world,
Just want to bring a smile to every boy and every girl,
Can’t do it by myself, on my own and all alone,
The world needs changing now, so lets all get in the zone,
Every woman, every man, come and join me lend a hand,
It’s time to step it up and lead our children to the promised land,
The golden age of unity, of freedom and equality,
Peace on earth is possible, just need a new mentality,
Open up your heart, and open up your mind,
Open up your spirit, and guess what you will find,
Instead of us vs. them, always focused on the enemy,
You’ll see that your enemy is just like you and me,
The world is one country, and mankind it’s citizens,
Time to come together ya’ll, all seven billion,
Turn war into peace, turn hate into love,
Turn your frown into a s mile, go give somebody a hug,

[Chorus] I can, you can, we can change the world (x4)

[Awu] Open up your hearts and minds, and face reality,
Cuz there is some good within you, called peace and harmony,

So see me as your brother, or your sister,

I’ll move your mountain, and you move my mountain,
Cuz the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step,
African man says one hand can’t tie a broom,
Let’s unite and see the world change from good to best,
And put a smile on the face of mankind as we say,

[Chorus] I can, you can, we can change the world (x4)

[Colby] So do unto others, as you’d have done to you,
Cuz changing the world starts with the golden rule,
We gotta celebrate diversity, and show love universally,
Cuz everyone on earth is part of one community,
Black, white, red, tan,
Rich, poor, woman, man,
Atheist, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Baha’I Buddhist, Sikh, or Hindu
What if you were judged for the language that you spoke,
What kind of feelings do you think it would evoke,
To be put down cuz of your race, or face religious persecution,
Time to rid the world of prejudice, and start a revolution,
I’m talking no more hunger, and no more pain,
No more violence, and no more slaves,
No more hatred, and no more greed,
No more homeless, or broken families,
No more pollution, no more disease,
No more corruption, no more poverty,
No more discrimination, kids need an education,
Gotta give hope to the up and coming generation,
Look towards the future and forget about our sins,
Take a moment to reflect, cuz the power is within,

Sing it Awu!

[Chorus] I can, you can, we can change the world (x4)

[Awu] Every black man, and every white man,
We are connected as one,
So take my hand, I will take your hand,
Then the dream will come true, we can all make a change,
One people, one world, yediday, yediday, yediday, yediday, hoohoo, ya
yediday, yediday, yediday, yediday, and so we say,

[Chorus] I can, you can, we can change the world (x4)

[Colby] This song goes out to every single member of the human race. Each action
you take has an impact on the rest of humanity. So make your life about
something positive, and do some good to make a change. The world needs
you.
