Fun track with a serious message. Change or what happens to us?

lyrics

Do you need some love and warmth
Do you need shelter
And bedding
Food to eat
Water to drink
Is that all you need? wohoh
Is that all you need to be happy
Is that all you need to be healthy heyay

Do you need some love and warmth
Do you need shelter
And a bed
Food to eat
Water to drink
Is that all you need?
Is that all you need to be happy ehay
Is that all you need to be healthy

So why is it ever so many people want everything
Spending more cash than the cost of a new hospital wing
Filling their homes with so much stuff but it's never enough
They should know that will kill all life we hold dear

And why is it most misguided people are miserable
Wasting their lives not realising they're a miracle
Outwardly content and fearless but feeling powerless
They should change things that fall in their influence-sphere

Now I've got that off my chest
I'll do my best to change the world
But it's only done in small steps
Let me ask you a simple question
How do you eat an elephant?
How do you eat an elephant?

Well I'm a plant eater so I wouldn't do that
But seeing it's metaphorical I'll tell you anyway

The answer is
The answer is
The answer is
The answer is one bite at a time
The answer is one bite at a time
The answer is one bite at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time at a time
And another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite and another bite

That's how you change the world one bite at a time
One little small tiny step at a time
And another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another

And another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another step and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another and another
