See it where it'll go
Send this song to a distant star
While the rhythm explodes
Just singing a song won't change the world
You can ride in my car
See how it rolls
Feel the new energy
As it quietly rolls
Just singing a song won't change the world
Just singing a song won't change the world
Just singing a song won't change the world
You can sing about change
While you're making your own
You can be what you try to say
While the big wheel rolls
Just singing a song won't change the world
You could play my guitar
Go where it goes
Send this song to a distant star
While the rhythm explodes
Just singing the song won't change the world
