Have you ever felt the hope is gone? Got nowhere to go Don't you worry 'bout that my friend 'Cause you're not alone So stop worrying 'bout tomorrow Stop livin' in the past, why not enjoy it while it lasts? Stop livin' in denial Stop hoping for a better day and just enjoy the rain The past is gone, our time is now a change will come if we stand as one and believe As the years have gone by, nothing has changed All these lines on my face got a story to tell The road you have chosen can always be changed Don't be afraid to fail, you'll find your way You can be the slave, you can be the change, the choice is yours If you smile tonight and cry tomorrow, oh lord So stop thinking' 'bout tomorrow Stop livin' in the past, why not enjoy it while it lasts? Stop livin' in denial Stop hoping for a better day and just enjoy the pain The past is gone Our time is now Change will come if we stand as one and believe As the years have gone by, nothing has changed All these lines on my face got a story to tell The road you have chosen can always be changed Don't be afraid to fail, you'll find your way, someday Sing a song, for tomorrow Be a slave, be the change As the years have gone by, I've changed All these lines on my face got a story to tell The road you have chosen can always be changed Don't be afraid to fail, you'll find your way The road you have chosen can always be changed Be yourself or be a slave Do it now or die tryin' Be the change! Be the change! Be the change! Be the change! You better start with yourself brother Every brother, every sister, every mother, every father, got to be the change, you better be the change Be the change! Be the change! Be the change! Be the change! Be the change!
