Song Lyrics

Just another song
Of trying to heal our world
At times I think that's all that this would be
But I must remain strong
Gotta do all I can do
'Cause I know my god hasn't given up on me
And the children
Born so innocent and free
Is the gift of life still the greatest gift of all
And the homeless
With no clothes or food to eat
We've got to do much better
'Cause we're all in this together

What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for us to make that change?
(What will it take?)
What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for you to make that change?

Just a little more love
And care for our whole world
I think that's just about all that we'll need
But we gotta stay strong (strong)
Gotta give all we can give
And a better place we'll live in guarantee, say
What will it take, what will it take, what will it take?
What will it take?
What will it take?
We've gotta change
Let's make that change
For the children
Born so innocent and free
'Cause the gift of life is the greatest gift of all
And the homeless
With no clothes or food to eat
If we'd all just pull together
Then we live in peace forever

What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for us to make that change?
(What will it take?)
What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we (we've gotta change) have gotta change
What will it take for you to make that change?

What will it take, what will it take, what will it take?
What will it take?
What will it take?
We've gotta change
Let's make that change
For the children
Born so innocent and free
'Cause the gift of life is the greatest gift of all
And the homeless
With no clothes or food to eat
If we'd all just pull together
Then we live in peace forever

What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for us to make that change?
(What will it take?)

What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we (we've gotta change) have gotta change
What will it take for you to make that change?
What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for us to make that change?
(What will it take?)

What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for you to make that change?
What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for us to make that change?
(What will it take?)

What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for you to make that change?
What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for us to make that change?

What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take for you to make that change?
What will it take to make the world a better place?
You and I know that we have gotta change
What will it take?
