'Change the World for Good' or 'Consumer Controlled' Read by Author Ramona Harvey He said, 'We’d need a miracle to change the world for Good' I wonder who has never tried Because they never thought they could Waiting for a miracle Do we understand Sometimes what is inside us Just needs a helping hand He said, 'We need a miracle to change the world for Good' Wonder what would happen If we all believed we could Would we listen to the people To find out what they need And argue less of money Or who should take the lead The people need a miracle to change the world for Good They would come and tell us If they only could Because they’re waiting for a miracle And they do not understand Why no one is here to help them Who cares to lend a hand The people need a miracle to change the world for Good It’s not that they never tried It’s that they never could Because instead of being built up The people were torn down And those that should have helped them Ignored their desperate sound There are people out there waiting to change the world for Good And if they have the things they need They are the ones who could.
