Lyrics:
Verse 1: A dream of a brand new future Will give a strong will for change. With a vision of what could be - A belief of what should be - You can share your thoughts For a better tomorrow. Yeah, Spread your light, That will to fight, to empower...




Chorus 1: (Let's rearrange and...) Change has a new groove: to empower The brave and patient determined ones of the earth To right all the wrongs, let's call it rebirth. Yeah, Change has a new groove: to empower
The creative and honest open-minded on this land
To shift the way we do things and take a bold stand.

Verse 2: Empathy is a useful tool to be used
To make a switch for the better, the best.
There will always be that one person
Who is in greater need than the rest.
Despite this fact, you must persevere
Through the struggles that lay ahead
For only then can these differences
Be laid to rest on their death bed.

Chorus 2: (Let's rearrange and...)
Change has a new groove: to empower.
The respectful and compassionate ones in this place
To reach out with open hearts, to every age and race. Yeah,
Change has a new groove: to empower.
The responsible and generous people from each nation
To encourage optimism in the face of all kinds of starvation.

Verse 3: (Spoken)
You know what it is:
That starvation for food, truth, justice, peace, unity, equality
And so much more.
Empower those around you, all over the world,
To take a stand And put an end to this seemingly never ending war.
