"BE THE CHANGE"

WORDS AND MUSIC BY        
ROBERT MARINO

VERSE I
I CAME UPON A PRETTY PICTURE IN THE PAPER
SNAPPED AS SHE TOOK ANOTHER BOW
I COULD SEE THE BLUE BLOOD IN HER HEAD
SHE KEEPS HER DISTANCE FROM THE CROWD
THAT WONDERS WHAT SHE GONNA DO NOW…AND SHE SAYS

CHORUS
“BE THE CHANGE IN THE WORLD YOU WANT TO SEE
REARRANGE IT, WAKE IT FROM THIS SILENT DREAM
LIKE A STRANGER SHAKIN’ SOMEONE HALF ASLEEP
BE THE CHANGE—(NO) DON’T HESITATE—
YOU’VE GOTTA FIND A WAY”

VERSE II
I CAME UPON AN ANGEL FLOATIN’ DOWN FROM HEAVEN
ON HER WINGS OF SILVER AND GOLD
AND I TOLD HER HOW I PRAYED FOR PEACE
BUT THERE SEEMED TO BE NO HOPE
WITH THAT SHE WHISPERED “TRUTH BE TOLD…

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
COME ON SET YOURSELF FREE—FIND YOUR OWN RELEASE
DON’T BE A SHADOW ON THE WALL
FAST ASLEEP WITH NO DREAM AT ALL

REPEAT CHORUS AND OUT
