Hello…I know you’ve got a world of problems.
And you think you can’t do anything to solve ‘em;
But I am here to tell you you can.

Somethin’ got you down, got you chained and bound
Well break it. (Face it)
If you’ve built a wall and know it needs to fall,
Then shake it. (Replace it)
Somethin’ that you know is dammin’ up the flow,
Tear the damn dam down.
Let me explain it.
If you don’t take the reigns, it’s going to stay the same
Nothin’s gonna change if you don’t change it.

Let’s do this!
Don’t let fear and doubt leave you empty and without.
You got somethin’ on your mind that’s naggin’ all the time,
Well nix it. (Resist it)
Somethin’ in your life that just ain’t sittin’ right,
Well -fix it. (Just kick it)
If you’ve lost your place somethin’ in your face
If there’s an empty space and you can’t name it.
That feelin’ in your gut that’s got you in a rut,
You’re made of better stuff and you can change it.

Change it,
You don’t want your little light to never shine.
Change it,
Turn it up on bright and get your goals in line.
There’s a great new world out there
For those who dare to claim it.
A better day is on the way and only you can change it.

Cha-cha-change, cha-cha-change, change it!
No dream you can’t accomplish, no mountain you can’t climb.
So activate your love and faith, you can change.
Stand up, grab a’hold, give everything you’ve got.
When the road is dark and cold, walk on fearing not.
Get your life in order, clean house and rearrange it.
Raise your voice and make a choice
Committed now to tear the damn dam down
And change it.
Change it.

Oh wow!! To me if this song doesn't inspire you to change it - then I don't know what will!! :-) Maybe it's because I'm a little partial to the words of wisdom from Miss Dolly.
She seems to hit the nail on the head a lot in this wonderful song!
We can complain and gripe all day; but until we do something about whatever is bothering us - it is NOT going to change. Granted not everything is going to be easy but with a little love, determination, and perseverance we can overcome a lot of things that do bother us.
Don't sit back and let others run over you or your dreams. Unless you get up and start doing something about it - nothing is going to change!
So get up and change it!!
