Change the World
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
Are you familiar with that quote? That’s one of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s profound words. “I have a dream…,” another so ordinary and so familiar but King did not only uttered it simply to impress his audience but to challenge a nation to change their views and attitudes about racism, apartheid, and the real essence of equality. That dream turned into reality which he paid for his dear life. And now, as the US presidential election draws near, should Obama wins, then King’s death is somehow vindicated again in another way, and in a different magnitude.
Okey, so much for the lengthy intro, this is another acoustic Friday.
Change the World is an OST of the smash movie, Phenomenon, of 1996 starred by John Travolta and Robert Duval. It is a movie about an ordinary man (Travolta) who sees a bright light descend from the sky, and discovers he now has super-intelligence and telekinesis. This is actually one of my fave movies of all time. When you are looking for an inspiration, here’s one worth the watch.
Here’s the live version of the movie’s OST by Eric Clapton –enjoy:
If I could reach the stars I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart so you could see the truth
That this love I have inside is everything it seems
But for now I find it's only in my dreams
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
If I could be king even for a day
I'd take you as my queen I'd have it no other way
And our love will rule in this kingdom we have made
Till then I'd be a fool wishin' for the day
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
