Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These are tough times we live in, but still we can't just give in
We must stand tall and live strong
It's up to the youth to live on
[Verse 2]
And carry this torch we pass down
You see, I know it's not the last round
In the next generation, my faith is unwavering
[Verse 3]
My confidence in you is unshakeable, because I know that you're willing
And far beyond capable, of doing all that must be done
But to do it all, we must be as one
[Verse 4]
Life can be better than most of us dream.
So, once you take the reins
Believe in your greatness, which lies within
[Verse 5]
And for the better this world will change
[Verse 6]
I see that you want it, I see that you're working for it
So don't take no days off, it's gonna pay off
I see that you love it, I want you to know that (Love it)
Before you can see it, you gotta believe it (You gotta believe it)
[Verse 7]
You're the generation of tomorrow
The pursuit starts today
And all time is borrowed, so you help learn the ways
[Verse 8]
You are not, Oh- I repeat, you are not put on this Earth to lose (Oh no)
And you are hot, Yeah, I repeat it, that you are hot, so do what you do
[Verse 9]
And we gon' do it big, we gon' make a scene, we gone take the doubters
Make 'em all believe
We gon' be the change that we wanna see
When I take an average, chasing legend status
We can help the world, we can have it all
Nothing is too big, nothing is too small
We can be the change, that we wanna see
Then I take an average, chasing legend status
[Verse 10]
I see that it's in your heart, I see that it's in your heart
I feel it (I feel it) I feel your desire
[Verse 11]
It only takes one spark, it only takes one spark to set it, to set it on fire
[Verse 12]
You're the generation of tomorrow
But the work starts today
And all time is borrowed, so there's not time to waste
You are not, I repeat, that you are not put on this Earth to lose (You are not, your are not)(Lose)
And you are high, yeah, I repeat it, you are high, so do what you do (Do what you do)
[Verse 13]
And we gone do it big, we gon' make a scene, we gon' take the doubters
Make them all believe
We gone be the change that we wanna see
Then I take an average, chasing legend status
We can help the world, we can have it all
Nothing is too big, nothing is too small
We can be the change, that we wanna see (We can be the change, that we wanna see)
Then I take an average, chasing legend status
[Verse 14]
You can have anything you want, but know the work must still be done
How we will change the world is in your own hands (Just believe that you can)
What is a dream, without action, nothing but a reason to stay sleep
You gotta wake up, make a decision, life is for the living
And it's yours but you gotta go get it, oh!
[Verse 15]
And we gon' do it big, we gon' make a scene, we gone take the doubters
Make 'em all believe (Take the doubters, make 'em all believe)
We gone be the change that we wanna see (Ooh, that we wanna see!)
Then I take an average, chasing legend status
We can help the world, we can have it all (We can help the world, we can have it all)
Nothing is too big, nothing is too small
We can be the change, that we wanna see (Oh, we can be the change, that we wanna see)
Then I can take an average, chasing legend status (Oh, ooh!)
[Verse 16]
Oh, we gon' do it big, yeah
All we gotta do is, do it
Nothing, nothing, nothing can stop us now
No
