Daniel Lemma is a Swedish composer and singer from Nyhamnsläge in Skåne. More information about Daniel Lemma may be found at: http://www.daniel-lemma.com/
The Jamboree band consists of Pär Klang, John Söderdahl, Lennie Hansen, Anni Söderdahl, Johan Olsson, Martin Nobel och Anton Berg.
Lyrics with Chords
Here are the lyrics, with chords / tabs, for those of you who want to practice before the summer.
Lyrics
Changing the world
D. Lemma, P. Klang
When you give a minute
When you stop and think
It ain’t too hard to find
The connecting link
People want the same things
We dream of a happy end
We’re just caught in the same commotion
And time slips away
You say 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
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
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
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.

If you want to contact me, please do it. This is my patrol’s email: luisgonzaga527@gmail.com
Hello scouts! I’m a scout from Portugal. Within 2 months, I’ll be in Sweden with all of you. And this song is connecting all of us, even before the Jamboree. I am participating in the portuguese preparation for the Jamboree, and I need to contact some people that are going to Sweden. If you want to help us, please post it here. Thank you
I think the message the song is trying to get across is absolutely brilliant
……..
except….. if you here the song from the previous jamboree’s… they are actually cheesy or fun……. this one is gonna be played about 20 times a day at sweden and im already sick of it now!!!! thats just my opinion!
you lot might have a heart and think differently!
Hi, I’m Thailand Leader Scout. Nice to see you all in 22th WSJ, in Sweden.
The question is when is it going too be released on Spotify? I have heard that it just costs a couple of 100 SEK to have e song on Spotify.
I forgot the italian contingent webside. If you want to visit it: http://www.jamboree2011.it/
Hey, the song is great!! It’s so cool that people from all over the world recognize themselves in this song! Italy semds lots of people but I’d like to meet also people from little contingents.
(I know my english is not very good but I hope you could understand.)
great song luv it
i really wait it
I love it! I’m from England and i think that its amazing! Can I download it from anywhere. Perhaps it could be put on Itunes and all the money made can go towards the solidarity fund
can we have the tabs?

I’m an English Scout going to the Jamboree and its a well thought through and put together song which I’m sure will grow on me but, I don’t know whether it’s because its a studio recording at the moment, it doesn’t sound that catchy and one that i’ll just pick up but it sounds like somethiong I’m going to have to actually learn!!! You never know though
Can’t wait for it!!! xxx
Can we download it from anywhere?
@ sweden girl – its not that bad when you listen to it – it will be a lot better live cos of 38,000 people singing along
