Change the World Lyrics

[Verse 2: Derek Minor]
What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
You know it's no time to waste, better get up (Oh-oh-oh)
I know you're made for more
Oh yeah, you're made for more
Even when all hope is lost, never let up (Oh-oh-oh)
You're my brother (Woah, woah, woah)
What are we fighting for? I need to know
Brother (Woah, woah, woah)
None of us win in this war (Oh-oh-oh)

[Pre-Hook: Derek Minor with Hollyn]
Beautiful people, don't you know
You're made in His image, the image of greatness?
(Oh-oh-oh)
Why don't we see His reflection
Inside one another and all of our faces?


[Chorus: Hollyn with Derek Minor]
I bet you just want to let your light shine (I bet you just wanna let your light shine)
It feel like you been waitin' for the right time (Feel like you been waitin', right time)
This is your moment (Your moment), moment (Your moment), moment (Your moment), moment
This is your moment, your moment, moment (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's time to change the world


[Outro: Hollyn with Derek Minor]
World, world, world, world
It's time to change the world
World, world, world, world
It's time to change the world
World, world, world, world
(Time to change the world, time to change the world, time to change the world)
It's time to change the world
World, world, world, world
(Time to change the world, time to change the world, time to change the world)
It's time to change the world
