Change the World

If I had a cat I'd name her Sheba
And her nickname would be Queen.
If my life was a movie
There's be music in every scene.
If I could see the night sky
I'd salute every falling star.
And if I could change the world
No things here would stay the way they are

It may seem
No one listens to you
But there's a dream
Everyone's entitled to--

And that's to change the world
Just a bit of the world
To change the world
Just your corner of the world.

Yes, to change the world
Just a bit of the world
To change the world
Just your corner of the world.

Not everyone says what they mean
Or what they mean isn't true.
But from how your life has been
Maybe it's true to you.
And maybe this means nothing,
Nothing to you today.
But maybe when you walk away
You'll remember what i have to say--

It may seem
No one listens to you
But there's a dream
Everyone's entitled to--

To change the world
Just a bit of the world
To change the world
Just your corner of the world

To change the world
Just a bit of the world
To change the world
Just your corner of the world
To change the world
Just your corner of the world
To change the world
Just your corner of the world...
