改變自己 – Wang Lee Hom 王力宏
作詞：王力宏
作曲：王力宏
今早起床了 看鏡子裡的我
忽然發現我髮型睡的有點KUSO
一點點改變 有很大的差別
你我的力量也能改變世界
最近比較煩 最近情緒很Down
每天看新聞都會很想大聲尖叫
但髒話沒用 大家只會嫌兇
我改變自己發現大有不同
新一代的朋友我們 好好的加油
大家一起大聲的說 Na Na Na Na Na~
我可以改變世界 改變自己 改變龜毛 改變小氣
要一直 努力努力 永不放棄 才可以 改變世界 C’mon 改變自己
今早起床了 覺得頭有點痛
可能是二氧化碳太多 氧氣不夠
一點點改變 有很大的差別
你我的熱情也能改變世界
只能代表自己 沒有政治立場
即使這世界讓我看得十分緊張
要調整自己
恩~
沒想到一點就能 畫龍點睛
新一代的朋友我們 好好的加油
大家一起大聲的說 Na Na Na Na Na~
我可以改變世界 改變自己 改變龜毛 改變小氣
要一直 努力努力 永不放棄 才可以 改變世界 C’mon 改變自己
我可以改變世界 改變自己 改變龜毛 改變小氣
要一直 努力努力 永不放棄 才可以 改變世界 C’mon 改變自己
