Change the World Lyrics
[Chorus: Hollyn]
I bet you just want to let your light shine
It feel like you been waitin' for the right time
This is your moment, moment, moment
It's time to change the world
[Verse 1: Derek Minor]
We are the brightest
We won’t succumb to the darkness
Lord knows we need light right now (Oh-oh-oh)
Unity's calling, cryin' out from the mountain
Telling us to come home right now (Oh-oh-oh)
You're my brother (Woah, woah, woah)
We don't have to fight anymore
Oh, brother (Woah, woah, woah)
None of us win in this war (Oh-oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus: Derek Minor]
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?
