SONG LYRICS

A woman stepped on the bus
like any one of us
After a hard workin’ day
She walked halfway back
To a seat marked for blacks
and took her place
She was someone who
Really understood
How a law could be a crime
When she wouldn’t give her seat
to a white man on his feet
yea, it was time to

CHORUS
Be the change you want to see around you
Be the right in a world of wrong
Be the one, the one to make a difference
Be the change
Be the change

Many years before
Another place another war
In a struggle to be free
A wise barefoot man
had his own plan
To fight the enemy
He said it makes no sense
To use violence
As a means to an end
We must rise above
What they would do to us
Or we become like them

CHORUS

It’s the pull of a lever
It’s the sound of your voice
It’s now or never
It’s a choice
To,

CHORUS
