Change the World


Yesterday, I thought I would change the world,

So I walked outside to see it all

Thinking, "Where should I start?"

So I began my search.

 

I looked to the sky,

I looked to the seas

I looked at the trees

and I looked at the earth

 

No matter where I searched,

I couldn't decide where to start

Until I looked into my own heart

And came to a realization

 

If one wishes to change the world,

Then one must change first change themself.
