words and music by Mitch McVicker G D There's a driftin' song C I think we all sometimes hear it G D C When our minds are true and free enough G D C And there is a spot, inside of countless souls D G That longs and yearns to be filled D C By that melodic kind of stuff D C Blessed are the poor in spirit D C Thank God 'cause she's barely got a dime Chorus G C D G C She asked me how I'd change this world D And I couldn't think of nothin' to say G C D G C It's a great big old place and so much is changin' Am D G It's all I can do to look out for what's comin' my way G D C So it makes me think my heart's made of steel G D C But at least I know it's covered with condensation G D C 'Cause there is a warm spirit of love D G That settles down upon my heart D C And its cold dark lonely places D C Blessed are those who are hungry D C Thank God 'cause her hunger never ends Chorus G C D G C She asked me how I'd change this world D And I finally figured out the only way G C D G C To change this world for the good or for the better Am D G Is to love with the love that's forever the same Chorus (repeat) Copyright 1998 White Plastic Bag Music All rights reserved.
