If you want to change the world, then change your life (repeat)

Change your habits, change your thinking,

When you’re eating, when you’re drinking,

If you want to change the world, then change your life

 

If you want to save the planet, start yourself (repeat)

Love the world and fairly use it,

Never damage or abuse it,

If you want to save the planet start yourself

 

Realise what we’re doing to our earth (repeat)

Our water’s never clear,

The rain forests disappear

Realise what we’re doing to our earth

 

If you want to feed the hungry, eat much less (repeat)

While you’re feasting being greedy,

You’re forgetting all the needy,

If you want to feed the hungry eat much less

 

Be thankful always for the meals you get (repeat)

Do not leave good food to waste

Because you don’t like the taste

Be thankful always for the meals you get

 

Do not stash your household rubbish in the bin (repeat)

Recycle it, don’t throw it,

There’s receptacles to stow it

Do not stash your household rubbish in the bin

 

If you want to make a difference be the one (repeat)

Be the one to make a stand

When they’re using up the land

If you want to make a difference be the one

 

If you want to live much longer take your time (repeat)

Don’t go rushing all around

Carbon footprints on the ground

If you want to live much longer take your time

 

Don’t blame anybody else but only you (repeat)

You’re the one to make the start

In your head and in your heart

Don’t blame anybody else but only you

 

Eco-friendly is the only way to be

Make the air pure, clean and fresh for you and me

To avoid noise and pollution

Simply try a new solution

Eco-friendly is the only way to be

 

If you want to show you care, then do it now (repeat)

All our habits we must break,

Our whole future is at stake,

If you want to show you care, then do it now

 

If you want to change the world, then change your life (repeat)

Come on make a start today

And live simply every day

If you want to change the world, then change your life
