Everywhere you look, you can write a book on what's going on
Everyone you know has got to reap what they sow, be it right or wrong
Ghettos flood, there's a hole up in the sky
Oil and blood, tell me why oh why
Terror stuck
Look at us
This isn't what we planned
You gotta take a stand

Don't forget that pride always goes before the fall
And nobody is free till there's freedom for all
As you sow so shall you reap
Be the change you want to see
Be the change you want to see

Every now and then, you've gotta bend to the way it is
Far it be that as it may, it's not the way just 'cause they say it is
On TV, there's just no reality
All I hear is "Me me me"
What they sold, I'm not buying any more
No, no, no more

Don't forget that pride always goes before the fall
And nobody is free till there's freedom for all
As you sow so shall you reap
Be the change you want to see
Be the change you want to see

Yesterday heard you say that there's nothing you can do
Wonder if you would feel the same if it was happening to you

Don't forget that pride always goes before the fall
And nobody is free till there's freedom for all
As you sow so shall you reap
Be the change you want to see
Be the change you want to see
Right now
Be the change you want to
See the changes start with you
Be the change you want to see

Be the change you want to see
The change you want to see
