With a small step forward
                E5  D#/ Emaj7
and it’s the simplest way,
           C#m7
we can start today
          Aadd9
crossing lines and borders
                               G#   Aadd9     Hsus4  E  
And the change in you, means the world is changing too.

Won’t you come, won’t you come with me

To the World Scout Jamboree
Verse 2:
I’ve got a brother that I never met
I’ve got a sister that’s not introduced to me yet
But we want the same things
We dream of a happy end
And maybe that stranger coming your way
just waiting to be a friend
And if you want to make some changes
Why don’t you start by making friends?
You can take a stand
By shaking a hand
If it’s a change in you
Then the world is changing too
Chorus 1:
I’m changing the world today,
the world today
With a small step forward
and it’s the simplest way,
we can start today
crossing lines and borders
And the change in you, means the world is changing too.
Won’t you come, won’t you come with me
To the World Scout Jamboree
Won’t you come, won’t you come with me
To the World Scout Jamboree
Won’t you come, won’t you come with me
To the World Scout Jamboree
If it’s a change in you
Then the world is changing too
I’m changing the world today,
the world today
With a small step forward
and it’s the simplest way,
we can start today
crossing lines and borders
I’m changing the world today,
the world today
With a small step forward
and it’s the simplest way,
we can start today
crossing lines and borders
And the change in you, means the world is changing too.
