If you could change the world,
Would you really do it?
Would you risk your life,
Your dreams, your hopes, your joys?
If you could change the world,
Would you really do it?

If you were in Germany during World War II,
Would you have really said “stop killing innocents?”
If you were in Africa during their wars,
Would you have really said “negotiate peacefully?”
If you were anywhere but here,
Would you have really said anything to change the world?

If you could change the world,
Would you really do it?
Would you waste your life,
Saving others?
If you could change the world,
Would you really do it?

If today will be history tomorrow,
Would you carefully plan your day?
If today will impact the world tonight,
Would you change your heart?
If today was your only time,
Would you really work to change the world?
