You can make the world a better place
Don't try to hide

Take your time to decide
Now I got a reason
I'm glad to be alive

Then they fall in love {The story goes}
They can change the world {Every day}
Everybody's glad to be alive

What's the use in tryin', oh
Look at all the people {With no brain}
Ain't no use in cryin', no {Ain't no way}
You can find a way, oh
