Put Your Hearts Up Lyrics

[Verse 2]
W-W-W-Wish in a well, shooting star in the sky
We can do anything if we try
Can't resurrect Gandhi, resurrect King
But if we put our heads together, we can do anything, like
You don't have to be a billionaire
You don't have to have much to show how much you care, like
Give a wink, give a kiss, like
Give a little happiness, like-like-like


[Chorus]
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah (Hey)
If we give a little love, maybe we can change the world (Maybe we can change the world)
I said
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
Sing it if you're with me, all you boys and all you girls (Sing it if you're with me, all you boys and all you girls)

[Post-Chorus]
Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah (Let me see you, let me see you put your hearts up)
Let me see you put your hearts up, yeah (Let me see you, let me see you put your hearts up)
If we give a little love, maybe we can change the world (Change the world)


[Bridge]
Don't let it bring you down now, down now
Don't let it bring you down now, down now
Ain't got nothing but love now, love now
Ain't got nothing but love now, love now
Don't let it bring you down now, down now
Don't let it bring you down now, down now
Ain't got nothing but love now, love now
Ain't got nothing but love now, love now

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
