Changing World Lyrics - Singles - Lucky Dube

Old man sitting by the side of the road 

He's not watching the birds today 

He's not watching the sunset like he always does 

He's looking at the future 

He has seen the past 

School boy passes by interrupts his thoughts 

He said sir, can you spare me a dollar 

I got to make in time for my grade 8 class 

I am fresh out of cigarettes 

And I can't be late 

The old man said 

Chorus 

The world is changing 

Take your time, look around 

Make the right decision 

He has no crystal ball 

But he sees the future 

Doesn't like what he sees, but what can he do 

Little girl passes by with a baby in her arms 

He thinks it's her mother's 

But no, it is her own 

She's only twelve years old for crying out loud 

With his trembling finger 

He wipes away the tears 

If this is the future, he doesn't wanna be part of it 

Chorus 

The world is changing 

Take a time, look around 

Make the right decision
