"Make A Change (Chains & Free)"
Lyrics
Gotta be a change in the way
We teach our children
Gotta stop lyin’ ’bout the past
Face the music
Tell the truth, spread the word
Best advice I ever heard
Wanna see a change in the world
Make a change in you
Wanna see a change in the world
Make a change in you
Gotta change the way
We take for granted all the gifts
All the gifts Mother Nature provides
Bless more, drive less, use your feet
Smile more, curse less, eat less meat
Wanna see a change in the world
Make a change in you
Wanna see a change in the world
Make a change in you
Get to know your neighbors
Specially the ones don’t look like you
Invite ’em into your home
Break bread together
Best advice I ever heard
Tell the truth, spread the word
Wanna make a change in the world
Make a change in you - hear me, brother
Wanna see that change in the world
Make that change in you
Got to see a change
Gotta be a change in the way
We teach our children
Gotta stop lyin’ ’bout the past
Face the music
Tell the truth, spread the word
Best advice I ever heard
