Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's falling, it's falling, and outside the buildings are tumbling down
And inside, a child on the ground says he'd do it again
[Chorus]
And what am I to do?
What in the world am I to say?
There's nothing else to do
He says he'll change the world some day
I rejoice
[Verse 2]
This morning I fell out of bed when I woke up to what he had said
Everything's crazy, but I'm too lazy to lie
[Chorus]
And what am I to do?
Just tell me what am I supposed to say?
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
I rejoice, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Rejoice
[Chorus]
And what am I to do?
Just tell me what am I supposed to say?
I can't change the world
But I can change the world in me
I rejoice
[Outro]
I don't know, no judging
Rejoice, you're the master of the world
Rejoice
Will you open up?
Rejoice
Rejoice
Re-, reach out, rejoice
Reach out, rejoice
