Waiting for the World to Change

If we could see through the eyes of a child
Life would be simple again
We should be learning, wrong isn't right
Time to come out of the dark and into the light
You know that
If you're waiting for the world to change
It's got to come from the heart
Because that's where it starts
If the world is ever going to change
It's got to come from within, let's begin
Because what we need is a change
You know it doesn't matter who you are
We've all got so much to lose
Spread the word, it's time to make our move
Don't hide your head in the sand
Reach out and take someone's hand
If you're waiting for the world to change
It's got to come from the heart
Because that's where it starts
If the world is ever going to change
It's got to come from within,
And that's where it begins
What will it take
The truth is at stake
I've been losing trust, it's lost in the dust
There'll come a day, we'll find a way
And I heard someone say
All you need is love
If you're waiting for the world to change
It's got to come from the heart
Because that's where it starts
If the world is ever going to change
It's got to come from within,
That's where it begins
If you're waiting for the world to change
You better search your heart
Because that's where it starts
If the world is ever going to change
It's got to come from within, let's begin
Because what we need is a change
It's time for a change,
In our world
Look in the eyes of a child,
Let them see you smile
Time for a change
No more fears
No more children's tears
Time for a change
