The Cynic


When it comes to change

I'm a cynic

When it comes to change

I'm a brat

When it comes to change

I'm a skeptic

But when it comes to action

I can do that

 

Though I don't know if what I am doing 

Has any greater effect

I can see the smiles on their faces

When all else may be a wreck

If I can be the light of day

After a sullen storm

If after the harsh blizzard

I can be a fireside's warm

Why wouldn't I at least try

To be this person for the world

And if not the world for someone

Though I may be just one hopeless girl

 

 

When it comes to change,

I'm a cynic

When it comes to change,

I'm a brat

When it comes to change,

I'm a skeptic

But when it comes to action,

I can do that
