Be the Change: Lyrics
music, politics April 3rd, 2008My wife asked me to find the lyrics to the song below, but I couldn’t find them published anywhere. This is my best attempt to transcribe the words. If anyone has found official lyrics, lemme know.
everywhere you look
you can write a book on what’s goin on
everyone you know’s got to reap what they sow
be it right or wrongghettos flood
there’s a hole up in the sky
oil and blood
tell me why oh whyterrorstruck, look at us
this isn’t what we planned
you gotta take a stand<Chorus>
dont forget that pride always goes before fall
nobody’s free till there’s freedom for all
as you sow, so shall you reap
be the change that you want to see
oh yeah
be the change that you want to seeevery now and then
you gotta bend to the way it is
but be that as it may
it’s not the way just cause they say it is
(just because they say it is)
on tv there’s just no reality
all I hear is me, me, me
what they sold, I’m not buying anymore
no more war<Chorus>
dont forget that pride always goes before fall
nobody’s free till there’s freedom for all
as you sow, so shall you reap
be the change that you want to see
oh yeah
be the change that you want to seeyesterday heard you say
that theres nothing you can do
wonder if you’d feel the same
if it was happening to you<Chorus>
dont forget that pride always goes before fall
nobody’s free till there’s freedom for all
as you sow, so shall you reap
be the change that you want to see
oh yeah
be the change that you want to see
right now
be the change that you want to see
see the changes start with you
be the change that you want to seebe the change that you want to see
be the change that you want to see
be the change that you want to see
be the change that you want to see
(repeat)
