Change the World


The lights go out The wind blows cold The high dark clouds Lose their wet hold The clouds let loose The blue sky goes black We have to choose If we’re going back We live in a day We live in a time We watch the world And it flies by We see the dark And we want the light But when comes here We run, try to hide. It only takes one Spark to light the fire It only takes one Heart to change the world It only takes one One moment to see That in the distance There will be A future Where all are free A life Where I am free The lights go out The darkness rules We discover In our schools What cruelty We have just done What insanity We have begun We watch the world flying We see life dying All around us; crying Children are lying It only takes one Spark to light the fire It only takes one Heart to change the world It only takes one One moment to see That in the distance There will be A future Where all are free A life Where I am free I am free in ways I never should be I’m tired of living life For only selfish me I’m done with the madness I’m giving up now I’m cleaning up my mess And I’m moving out...
