Given the Chance

Given the chance, I would change the world.

If it were in my power, I would make it peaceful.

If I had the knowledge, I would cure cancer.

If I were rich, I would end poverty.

If I knew the resources, I would feed all the hungry.

If I could help them, I'd calm the dreams of all the abused.

I would make a difference in the world,

Given the chance.

Given the chance, I would change myself.

I would stop giving excuses for why I can't

Make peace with one person in my life.

I would stop giving excuses for why I can't

Ease one persons' burden.

I would stop giving excuses for why I can't

Help one person in need.

I would stop giving excuses for why I can't

End one persons' hunger.

I would stop giving excuses for why I can't

Comfort one tortured soul.

I would make a difference in my world,

Given the chance.
