As Easy As 1, 2, 3


We all want to change the world.

We want to do something

that will leave an impression.

We make it our goal

even our dream

to make that change

without considering what we have to do to get there.

Changing something 

isn't as easy as 1, 2, 3.

We can't just snap our fingers

and cure cancer

or end wars.

We have to work for change.

We have put in the hours.

We have to want it.

I want to change the world

by changing others.

I want everyone to see 

that they matter.

I want everyone 

to want to change the world

because if they do

then the world may actually change.
