DON'T CHANGE THE WORLD


If you want the world to change
Don't sit back, give a little
and you'll make it change
Then you'll find you've made your life worth living for
Cause if you save a life, you'll wanna do so much more

Don't go change the world for me
Just try changing the way you are
With a little bit of givin'
You'll make your life worth livin'
So don't go change the world for me.

If you have a heart at all
It won't hurt..... to show your feelings
Pride leads to a fall
See that child, with no tomorrow, got no friend
Just one smile from you, her joy will know no end.

Don't go change the world for me
Just try changing the way you are
With a little bit of givin'
you'll make your life worth livin'
So don't go change the world for me.

Just let it be...... it's okay with me.....
all I want to see is a real change in you

Don't change the world for me
Just try changing the way you are
Don't blame the world for all the mess around you,
Baby, look into your heart
Don't go change the world for me
