  • I'm kickin' up the pieces
    I'm trying out adhesives
    I'm trying to fix a place that feels broken
    All my words they fail me
    My voices don't avail me
    I'm trying to say the hope that's unspoken

    Is this the world you want?
    Is this the world you want?
    You're making it
    Every day you're alive
    Is this the world you want?
    Is this the world you want?
    You're making it

    The world feels so malicious
    With all our hits and misses
    Feels like we're in the business of rust
    It's when I stop to listen
    All the moments I've been missing
    I finally hear a voice I can trust

    Is this the world you want?
    Is this the world you want?
    You're making it
    Every day you're alive
    Is this the world you want?
    Is this the world you want?
    You're making it
    Every day you're alive

    You change the world
    You change the world
    You change the world
    Every day you're alive
    You change the world
    Honey, you change the world
    You change my world

    You start to look like what you believe
    You float through time like a stream
    If the waters of time are made up by you and I
    If you change the world for you, you change it for me

    What you say is your religion
    How you say it's your religion
    Who you love is your religion
    How you love is your religion
    All your science, your religion
    All your hatred, your religion
    All your wars are your religion
    Every breath is your religion yea

    Is this the world you want?
    Is this the world you want?
    You're making it
    Every day you're alive
    Is this the world you want?
    Is this the world you want?
    You're making it
    Every day you're alive

    You change the world
    You change the world
    You change my world
    Every day you're alive
    You change my world (You change my world)
    Honey, you change my world (You change my world)
    You change my world, yeah, yeah, yeah Writer/s: JON FOREMAN
