What you re gonna do with the 36 cents

Sticky with coal on your floorboard

When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold

On a sidewalk bench trying to keep warm

Do you call her over hand her the change

Ask her her story ask her her name

Or do you tell yourself

You re just a fool just a fool to believe you can change the world

You re just a fool just a fool to believe you can change the world

What you re gonna do when you re watching TV

And an ad comes on yeah you know the kind

Flashing up pictures of a child in need

For a dime a day you could save a life

Do you call the number reach out a hand

Or do you change the channel call it a scam

Do you tell yourself

You re just a fool just a fool to believe you can change the world

Don t listen to them when they say

You re just a fool just a fool to believe you can change the world

Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference

Love is alive don t listen to them when they say

You re just a fool just a fool to believe you can change the world

The world s so big it can break your heart

And you just want to help not sure where to start

So you close your eyes

And send up a prayer into the dark

You re just a fool just a fool to believe you can change the world

Don t listen to them when they say

You re just a fool just a fool to believe you can change the world

Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference

Love is alive don t listen to them when they say

You re just a fool just a fool to believe you can change the world
