Gonna Make Changes
Embrace Change: Phyllis Hyman's Anthem for Collective Empowerment
Lyrics
Wouldn't you know it?
Expressing surprise or realization
I finally arrived
Achieving a goal or reaching a destination
Made a good life for myself
Establishing a successful and fulfilling life
Got it together
Getting one's life organized and in order
Feel mighty strong
Feeling confident and empowered
Making for a better life
Striving for improvement and a better life
Gonna make changes
Expressing the intention to initiate changes
Gonna make minds aware
Intending to raise awareness and influence minds
Moving together
Advocating for collective action and unity
Willing to share
Willingness to share and collaborate
There's power in the masses
Recognizing the power of the masses
Collectively we can win
Believing in the collective strength to succeed
Gonna make changes
Reiterating the commitment to bring about changes
Gonna make changes
-Gonna make changes
-Feel my emotion
Expressing strong emotions
Hear what I say
Stating a message to be heard
The things I want I want for you
Desiring positive things for others
Who am I fooling
Questioning one's own sincerity
If I'm to believe
Expressing humility and equality
That I'm any more than you
Acknowledging commonality with others
Gonna make changes
Reiterating the determination to make changes
Make them for everyone
-Search out the gladness
-And pass it to everyone
-Just keep on with believing
-That's what we gotta do
-Gonna make changes
-Gonna make changes
-Gonna make changes
-Ooo...ooo...
Expressing emotions vocally
Yeah...Yeah...
-Oh, gonna make changes
Continuing the commitment to make changes
Make them for everyone
-Search out the gladness
-And pass it to everyone
-Just keep on with believing
-That's what we gotta do
-Gonna make changes
-Gonna make changes
-Gonna make changes
-Making changes
Emphasizing the act of making changes
Gonna make changes
Repeating the themes of awareness and collective power
Gonna make minds aware
-Search out the gladness
-Moving together
-Pass it to everyone (To share)
-There's power in the masses
-Collectively we can win
-Gonna make changes
Reaffirming the determination to make changes
Making changes
-Gonna make changes
Emphasizing unity and collective strength
Making minds aware
-Moving together
-Willing to share
-There's power in the masses
-Collectively we can win
-Gonna make changes (whoa...)
Concluding the commitment to make changes
Making changes
-Changes...
Highlighting the concept of changes everywhere
Make them everywhere
Reiterating the importance of unity and power in the masses
Moving together
-Willing to share
-There's power in the masses
-Collectively we can win
Expressing confidence in collective success
