Story Behind The Song
I had written a sad song about 9.11, ("You Stayed"), but I wanted to write something that prompted positive action, or at least posing the question, "What will you differently now?"

Lyrics
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED
© 2001 by Steve Mason
-Verse 1-
Recently? So much sadness
Change is a constant, we all know
Here we meet at some lonesome crossroads
What will we do? Someone tell me so
-Chorus-
The world has changed
I said the world has changed
What will you do different
What will you do the same?
-Verse 2-
We stand up proud with all our might
Heroes strong come into sight
I remember love when it was a passing thing
Worlds fell apart and only few would sing
-Chorus-
-Change-
Longer hugs
Looks into eyes
Sharing smiles
Without ever asking why
Cities collapse
But not the spirit?
Heroes arise
Everyone?s in it
-Verse 3-
Some say it?s the world
To some us and them
It?s time for a change
Before we reach the end
We travel miles
Protecting our own
It?ll all be for naught
W/o love in our homes
Chorus
Change
