lyrics
You’re taking on the world
From the corner of your room
Seeing history unfold
Planning the writing for your tomb
But it always dies away
Somehow the plans you make are lost time and again
But this time don’t you wait
Take pen to paper and remind us of what remains
Ch:
All of the dreams you have
Are not just going to appear
If you stay hidden under the covers cowering in fear
And all the foundations you laid
Insurgent and bright within
Are willing to break out to the world and command it to let them in
You see them in the crowd
Revolution on their minds
And just to appease themselves
Staging protests all in vain
So remind me why we’re here?
Remind me why we even want to change the world
Your saviour’s still inside
He's calmly waiting just to share his advice
Ch.
We all want to change the world
From the corner of your room
Seeing history unfold
Planning the writing for your tomb
But it always dies away
Somehow the plans you make are lost time and again
But this time don’t you wait
Take pen to paper and remind us of what remains
Ch:
All of the dreams you have
Are not just going to appear
If you stay hidden under the covers cowering in fear
And all the foundations you laid
Insurgent and bright within
Are willing to break out to the world and command it to let them in
You see them in the crowd
Revolution on their minds
And just to appease themselves
Staging protests all in vain
So remind me why we’re here?
Remind me why we even want to change the world
Your saviour’s still inside
He's calmly waiting just to share his advice
Ch.
We all want to change the world
