Do you remember being younger and caring till it hurt?
Singing for an end to hunger here on planet earth
How could you grow up to forget it?
How could you lose your way?
Was all that caring only dressing on your salad days
Turn the dial on the radio, it's what the kid in you would say
Cause Peace Love and Understanding, well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time, no, and it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change, oh, why don't we listen for a change
Listen for a change
Do you remember leaving school and making your way home?
Scratching out your list of wishes before you had a phone
And getting rich was never on there and you'd never go to war
It's lucky I'm here to remind you, it's what you made me for
So turn the dial on the radio, it's what the kid in you would say
Cause peace love and understanding, well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time no, and it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change oh, why don't we listen for a change
Well, do you remember?
Do you remember getting better and learning all the chords?
All that singing and late-night playing until you knew em all
For all their talk and good intentions it turns out they were wrong
War's not over, it's not enough to want it in a song
So turn the dial on the radio, it's what the kid in you would say
Cause peace love and understanding, well it never went away
It wasn't funny at the time no, and it sure isn't today
Why don't we listen for a change, oh, why don't we listen for a change
Listen for a change
Listen for a change
