Have we become defeatists
Lost our reason and our rhyme
Change can actually happen
One person at a time
If we refuse to accept
The same old status quo
And embrace our full potential
To prosper and to grow

Change can actually happen
One person at a time
If we seize the future
To make it yours and mine

Things like war and poverty
We can overcome
If we all work together
Each and everyone
Sharing responsibility
To make the needed change
And some of our policies
Need to be rearranged

Change can actually happen
One person at a time
If we seize the future
To make it yours and mine

Nothing is impossible
If we really try
That should be our motivation
And the reason why
We can do anything
That we put our minds to
This places the challenge
Squarely on me and you

Change can actually happen
One person at a time
If we seize the future
To make it yours and mine

We needn’t fear the future
That’s ours to embrace
It can take us past the present
And in any case
Take us to the brand new world
That we all envision
Without the present rancor
And the partisan division

Change can actually happen
One person at a time
If we seize the future
To make it yours and mine

Nothing is impossible
If we really try
That should be our motivation
And the reason why
We can do anything
That we put our minds to
This places the challenge
Squarely on me and you

Change can actually happen
One person at a time
If we seize the future
To make it yours and mine

Change can actually happen
One person at a time
If we refuse to accept
The same old status quo
And embrace our full potential
To prosper and to grow
