The Change Must Start in You


Change.

 

So desirable,

So impossible.

 

On the internet, we promote it

in the polls, we vote for it.

Yet still the change won't come.

 

Joined the Web Page?

Bought the t-shirt?

Sure, you feel good.

 

But as days go by,

you'll realize,

the change must start in you.

 

Change

 

Still desirable

Still impossible

 

We run our tongues,

we talk and talk,

but it makes no difference

 

Making plans?

Thinking about it?

Sure, that's great and all...

 

But as days go by,

you'll realize,

the change must start in you.

 

Change

 

Desirable?

Possible?

 

We must change ourselves

To change the world

only then will the change come.

 

Doing something?

Stepping out?

that's the course to win.

 

And as days go by,

you'll be filled with pride,

because the change started with you.

 

Change.

 

Ever desirable

Ever possible.
