[Instrumental] [Intro Spoken] Let me tell you a little somethin' [Verse] I was walking down the street in my neighborhood Just goin' for a stroll like I normally would And I don't know why but all of the sudden I shook 'cause I realized a thing that hit me hard and took my breath away and I understood how life used to be good and not so crooked And, look, I get that we tend to glory the past, but should I just accept the fact that change is unwithstood? Is it me just getting older or is it the world that's getting colder? Not literally, of course, but maybe the weight on our shoulders is bearing us down pressing the air from our lungs, the love from our tongues, justifying our wrongs as we decide who belongs to our friends and the throngs. as we decide who belongs to our friends and the throngs. [Transition] [Chorus - Female Singer] What if we change for the better? Leave our fears and doubts behind What if we come together? And let love be our guide What if we change for the better? Embrace the future, hand in hand What if we make things better? In this life, in this land What if we change for the better? And let our hearts lead the way What if we change for the better? Starting from this very day [Verse] Exactly when did we conclude to let go of the truth, Fabricating alternate facts, feeling smooth and aloof? Repeating lies from every roof, defaming every sleuth Keep on chewing the cud until the spoof becomes the proof Oof - now I ranted til I landed in the rage zone But I bemoan that we flipped rapture for the smart phone Since we’re so prone to go after the quick dopamine And it seems that the detox has us going fierce and mean Streaming fake versions of our life because we are so damn keen To get a stranger’s approval and the rush of the adrenaline In a whim we choose pleasure over peace serene, like neoprene blocking out the real scene with the screen And I scream: Somebody please intervene! Let us reconvene Our spleen is so obscene with consequences unforeseen Bouncing out of control like a figurine on a trampoline But I fear if we don’t desist we bust society to smithereens [Chorus - Female Singer] What if we change for the better? Leave our fears and doubts behind What if we come together? And let love be our guide What if we change for the better? Embrace the future, hand in hand What if we make things better? In this life, in this land What if we change for the better? [Fade out]
