lyrics
If you’re hungry, I’ll put the oven on
And if you’re tired, you can sleep in my arms
And if you’re lonely, I’ll always be your friend
And if a screw gets loose, I’ll tighten it again
But these days are different, everyone’s sad all the time
And I don’t know how to restore your faith in humankind
And turning off the news won’t make it any less real
How can I shield you from the pain that you can’t help but feel?
Well, I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna change the world, darling
I’m gonna do it all for you
Change it for you
I’m gonna make it a kinder place to live in
This I swear to you
My love, my love, my love (x2)
I’m gonna change the world for you
My love, my love, my love (x2)
I’m gonna change the world for you
If you’re freezing, I will wrap you up
And if you’re thirsty, I will fill your cup
And if your vision’s blurry and you can’t get home
I will pick you up, I’d never leave you alone
And tomorrow, when the day begins
And the yellow morning sun shines on your skin
Your laugh will ring like a bell, your smile will reach your eyes
All the blues you felt now painted into the sky
Yeah, I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna change the world, darling
I’m gonna do it all for you
Change it for you
I’m gonna make it a kinder place to live in
This I swear to you
My love, my love, my love (x2)
I’m gonna change the world for you
My love, my love, my love (x2)
I’m gonna change the world for you
So close your eyes, and sleep real tight
I’m gonna make tomorrow alright
I love you forever, and there’s peace in sight
I’m gonna make tomorrow alright
I’m gonna make tomorrow alright
Mm, that’s what I’m gonna do
I’m gonna change the world, darling
I’m gonna do it all for you
Change it for you
I’m gonna make it a kinder place to live in
This I swear to you
My love, my love, my love (x2)
I’m gonna change the world for you
My love, my love, my love (x2)
I’m gonna change the world for you
