Somebody shakes when the wind blows Somebody's missing a friend, hold on Somebody's lacking a hero And they have not a clue When it's all gonna end Stories buried and untold Someone is hiding the truth, hold on When will this mystery unfold And will the sun ever shine In the blind man's eyes when he cries? You change the world (I can't do it by myself) You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help) You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign) If we all cry at the same time tonight People laugh when they're feelin sad Someone is taking a life, hold on Respect to believe in your dreams Tell me where were you when your children cried last night? Faces fill with madness Miracles unheard of, hold on Faith is found in the winds All we have to do Is reach for the truth, the truth You change the world (I can't do it by myself) You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help) You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign) If we all cry at the same time tonight And when that flag blows There'll be no more wars And when all calls I will answer all your prayers You change the world (I can't do it by myself) You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help) You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign) If we all cry at the same time tonight You change the world (I can't do it by myself) You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help) You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign) If we all cry at the same time tonight You change the world (I can't do it by myself) You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help) You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign) If we all cry at the same time tonight Change the world
