Pick someone up and fill up their cup
And let them walk in your shoes
Isn't it enough that we build all this stuff?
That only a few people use
Tanks and jets and anti-ballistic warheads
Could blow up everything beautiful in sight
But we can move like the grassroots do
And put up one hell of a fight
If a song could change the world
That's what it's going to do
Fields covered with soldiers
With freshwater filled squirt guns
But if everybody can't get some
Than you better believe it don't help anyone
While the world was fighting
We had nothing to lose
When it seems to frightening
I'll sing this song to you
If a song could change the world
That's what it's going to do
If we forgave, but not forgot
If we forgave, but not forgot
Wars would not be fought
If a song could change the world
That's what it's going to do
