Verse 1:
They're closing all the schools down
Some teachers work for free now
And libraries won't be found
Cause there's not enough
Can you see a change in your town
Small close it's ???
I'm trying to sort it out
What we're giving up
Chorus:
Basically
There are people left out
From living
Comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting
Restlessly for the words to a song
That would
Change it all
Change it all
Change it all
Verse 2:
I never found a 9 to 5
That was worth it from my soul
Til I
I pursued what brought joy in my life
And there's something for us all
And I still think it is my right
And it's the last and one of few
To get the luxery for learning
Something I could use
Chorus:
Basically
There are people left out
From living
Comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting
Restlessly for the words to a song
That could
Change it all
Change it all
(If the words could change it all) Change it all
(Change it all)
Bridge:
So many laws are changing
They say it's the price for war
We send over at least ? billions
It's hard to believe that years ago people died to fight
But history feels so far away
History feels so far away
We're not fighting for our lives anymore
You're not fighting for my life anymore
It's hard to know what's really worth fighting for
Or is it killing and dying on the streets
Chorus:
Ohhh
Basically
There are people left out
From living
Comfortably can we figure it out
I've been waiting
Restlessly for the words to a song
That could
Change it all
Chorus 2:
Oh!
Basically
There's enough for us all
So
Why can't we somehow figure it out
I've been waiting
Restlessly for the words to a song
That could
Change it all
Change it all
(If the words could change it all) Change it all
Change it all
Change it all
If a song could change it all
What if we could change it all

Change It All is the third studio album by American singer–songwriter Goapele. It was released in 2005.
This album was composed of all-new material and was a forward step in her development as an artist, which was a great expansion in range from her previous effort. However, the much older song 'Closer' was included as a bonus track after a gap of silence of 1:15 that occurred between the last two tracks. Guests included Clyde Carson from the Team and Dwele, while Mumia Abu-Jamal appeared in an interviewed voice-over on 'Fly Away.'
