[Intro: Stan Walker]
Oh, would've never ever made it this far without you
Would've never made it through the night, but you shine so bright, yeah
Hmm, yeah

[Verse 1: Stan Walker]
I was thinking 'bout yesterday
How it seems like miles away
I been hanging on the words you say
Even though you've gone away
I mean, I nearly crossed the line
But tomorrow is another day, and
I still remember the words you said, you said

[Chorus: Stan Walker]
How you ever gonna change the world
If you can't change yourself?
How you ever gonna give it a go
If you won't be yourself?
How you gonna love? How you gonna live?
Don't you know you get back what you give, give?

[Post-Chorus: Matiu Walters & Stan Walker]
La, la, la-la
La, la, la-la
[Verse 2: Stan Walker]
Well I've been wasting too much time, you see
'Cause what I wanted ain't always what I need (Ain't what I need)
When I need something to get me by, well
I just remember the words you said, you said

[Chorus: Stan Walker]
How you ever gonna change the world
If you can't change yourself?
How you ever gonna give it a go
If you won't be yourself?
How you gonna love? How you gonna live?
Don't you know you get back what you give, give?

[Post-Chorus: Matiu Walters & Stan Walker]
La, la, la-la
La, la, la-la

[Bridge: Stan Walker]
How you ever gonna change the world
When you can't change yourself?
How you gonna give it a go
When you won't be yourself?
How you gonna love? How you gonna live?
Don't you know you get back what you give, give? (Yeah)
[Chorus: Stan Walker, Matiu Walters & Stan Walker]
How you ever gonna change the world (La-la)
If you can't change yourself? (La-la)
How you ever gonna give it a go (La-la)
If you won't be yourself? (La-la)
How you gonna love? How you gonna live? (La-la)
Don't you know you get back what you give, give? (La-la, la-la, la-la)

[Outro: Stan Walker]
Would've never ever made it this far without you
Would've never made it through the night
But you shine so bright
