We Change The World
(Words and music by Melinda Caroll, 1989, Girl Scouts of the United States of America.)

Chorus:

Change the World, come with me

Time to let our dreams fly free

And it comes so easily, that is our way

Every moment we're alive, it's our love that will survive

In the Girl Scouts, together, We Change the World

Sisters of every color, friends from everywhere

We all make the difference, when we show the world we care

The Girl Scouts are our family,

And they show us what we can be

And I believe, together, We Change the World

In a world with many faces, Girl Scouts find a way

To help in many places along the trails we blaze.

Light the light and do our share,

Reach out your hand and someone's there

And I believe, together, We Change the World

This third verse was sent to me by Donna - I'm pretty sure it's not part of the original song.

In America, we have so much to give

To our sisters around the world who are struggling just to live

Light the light and do our share, reach out your hand and someone's there

And I believe, together, we change the world

We Change The World (Canadian version)

I learned this version of the song at the 2005 Ontario Provincial Annual, held at the Blue Mountain resort in Collingwood, Ontario. I don't know who the author is though.

Chorus:

Change the World, come with me

Time to let our dreams fly free

And it comes so easily, that is our way

Every moment we're alive, it's our love that will survive

In the Girl Guides, together, We Change the World

Sisters of every color, friends from everywhere

We all make the difference, when we show the world we care

The Girl Guides are our family,

And they show us what we can be

And I believe, together, We Change the World

In a world with many faces, Girl Guides find a way

To help in many places along the trails we blaze.

Light the light and do our share,

Reach out your hand and someone's there

And I believe, together, We Change the World

(Rap)

We're the Girl Guides and we say

If you like a little challenge, well we've found a way.

Maybe you were thinking that you didn't fit in

But we've got a story, let us begin.

The Girl Guides started a long time ago,

For girls aged 5 to 18 or so.

We've got the Sparks, the Brownies, the Guides, Pathfinders

And the Senior Branches are here to remind us,

That when our sisters link up in every land

Our voice is strong when we take a stand

'Cause we're the Girl Guides, uh-huh!

(repeat chorus)

(Rap)

Of course we love to camp, bike and swim,

We take on the same vocations as boys and men.

And some folks think this is just a game,

But "adventure" is our middle name.

And we don't drink and we don't do drugs,

Our bodies are too important to us.

We're always prepared and community minded

Come along, we think you'll like it!

And when our sisters link up in every land,

Our voice is strong when we take a stand,

'Cause we're the Girl Guides, uh-huh!

(repeat chorus)
