From lyrics to “What Needs Changing in the World” by Freebo:
“What needs changing in the world, maybe it could be the way I’d like it to be:
No more fighting in the neighborhood, hearts united for the sake of good,
No more hunger and no more greed. Everybody’s rich, happy and free.”
“What can I do to heal up the world for me and you? The more I look around, the more I see, I can’t do it all but I can change me. I could be the change I’d like to see.”
“When it all comes down to all the things I’m feeling, I’ve finally found it’s my mind that needs a healing.” “I only need to walk the walk. All I have to do is take that leap.”
“What needs changing in the world? — just one thing and it’s up to me.
I can be the change I’d like to see.”
