Decide.


If I could change anything, what would it be?

well I could change the environment,

all the buildings back to trees.

I could solve all the problems due to pollution.

that would be a good thing, and definitely a solution.

or what about money?

it causes poverty and debt.

I could make a difference in this world,

but I cant quite choose yet.

there's so many things, that could help us many ways.

but how do i decide?

I could create peace, and have countries to collide

Yes, I've decided. its been obvious all along.

it would be to erase all the things we've done wrong.

not just my mistakes but those of others.

we live in a world that discriminates one another.

or some make bad choices and then there's no way out,

there's crime left and right, what's that all about?

we all have a story and reasons for choices,'

but why fight with our fists, and not with use voices?

We all have that option, yet still choose the worst.

When we're put under pressure, we cry and then burst.

Now i don't mean small situations, like break ups and slamming doors.

I'm referring to world hunger and unnecessary wars.

Or making bad choices, like drinking so much,

Or having to pay bills, and don't have a buck

Or choosing drugs over the ones that need you,

or being so lost, you don't know what to do.

or quitting school early and starting a family soon

or wishing on the stars, hoping for the moon.

We all want to succeed, but things get in the way,

life is difficult, there's so much people can say.

So if I could change anything, anything at all,

it would that no one lets themselves fall.

But that's just life and everything has it's reasons,

difficulties come and go just like seasons.

we need to hang in there, and i suppose that's just it.

I'd want no one to give up and never to quit.
