“Change” lyrics -written by Katrina Elam, Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins
Whatcha gonna do with the 36 cents
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
Do you call her over, hand her the change
Ask her story, ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself

You’re just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
You’re just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

Oh, whatcha gonna do when you’re watching TV
And an ad comes on yeah you know the kind
Flashing up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day you could save a life
Do you call the number, reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel, call it a scam
Or do you tell yourself

You’re just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Don’t listen to ’em when they say
You’re just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don’t listen to ’em when they say
You’re just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

The world’s so big it can break your heart
And you just want to help not sure where to start
So you close your eyes, and send up a prayer into the dark

You’re just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Don’t listen to ’em when they say
You’re just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Oh, the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive, don’t you listen to ’em when they say
You’re just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

“This year is a World AIDS Day like no other,” said Bono, speaking from Dublin. “The world reached a tipping point in the fight against AIDS – more people were newly added to life-saving treatment than were newly infected with the virus. A lot of people are calling it the beginning of the end of AIDS. We wouldn’t be at this point without American leadership, people from the left and the right. Today, 13 million people have access to life-saving treatment, up from 300,000 just over ten years ago. Americans don’t know the role they’ve played in this fight. Tonight’s event is to inform them and thank them.”

A (RED) Thank you Presented by (BANK OF AMERICA) RED will broadcast live on YouTube at www.red.org/YouTube, radio across the US including iHeart Radio which is becoming iHeart (RED) for World AIDS Day and as part of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.

World AIDS Day takes place at Duffy Square in Times Square, on Broadway between 46th & 47th Streets, entrance at 50th and Broadway.

About Carrie Underwood: Carrie Underwood emerged from the promise of her 2005 American Idol win to become a true multi-format, multi-media superstar, spanning achievements in music, television, and film, where the six-time GRAMMY® Award winner has amassed more than 95 major honors, sold more than 64 million records worldwide, and recorded 18 #1 singles, nine of which she co-wrote. The first female artist to be twice named the Academy of Country Music’s Entertainer of the Year, Underwood was recognized as Pollstar’s Top Female Country Touring Artist for each of her headlining tours, in 2008, 2010, and 2012. Her four albums, Some Hearts, Carnival Ride, Play On, and Blown Away – each certified multi-Platinum or Platinum, and each an American Music Awards winner as Country Album of the Year – tallied 38 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with songs that have now been streamed more than 800 million times worldwide. Last year, she starred as Maria von Trapp in NBC’s three-hour holiday blockbuster, the Emmy®-winning The Sound of Music Live!, whose airings attracted 44 million viewers. A proud member of the Grand Ole Opry since 2008, Underwood is now in her second season as the musical voice of primetime television’s #1 program, Sunday Night Football, and recently returned for the seventh consecutive year as co-host of the CMA Awards. On December 9, Underwood will release Greatest Hits: Decade #1, her first hits collection, which also features her new single, “Something in the Water.”
