Change the World


I want to change the world

I want to impact it so deep

That I reach the core

I want to change the meaning of peace

To something permanant

I want to open doors

And shut out doubt

I want the past to dissolve 

It makes my ears bleed

Mistakes linked in memory 

Times so hard the world shakes in its boots

 

I want to change the world

The sun rises and then sets

But leaves its mark before it goes

It creates life and growth

The moon brings serenity and mystery

Both bring death too

I want the growth to shine through

But erase the death

I want to change the world

But I would not dare change the past
