[Chorus:]
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change the world)
Can somebody help me? (change the world)
Everyday I saw you there chillen on the corner
Puffin on crack and marijauna
Because I know how your life is
Nobody just be guidin, no
Hope to see black people living longer
Also less kids without fathers
We should all come together
Please stop fighting and killing eachother
Its what happens when your living in the street life
Its so dark and you dont get sunlight
People seeing why you dont get treated right
But ima try to change it
[Chorus:]
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change the world)
Can somebody help me? (change the world)
Many people living off welfare
Hoping things get better next year
But I'm covered in tears
So many sick without health care
Too many innocent people dyin'
And I dont know why
You gotta keep your eyes open even when your rollin'
As days go by
Its what happens when your living in the street life
Its so dark and you dont get sunlight
People seeing why you dont get treated right
But ima try to change it
[Chorus:]
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
[Bridge:]
Somebody change the world
We've got little boys and little girls
Growing up on this sinful earth
Oh whats happening?
I dont know, but please tell me
We've got all these criminals and discretes
Killin people for no reason
I dont know why
[Chorus:]
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change, change, change)
Can somebody help me? (change, change, change)
