If I Could Change Anything, What Would it Be?
If I could change anything, what would it be?
Would it be land or would it be sea
I could stop the sun, though that wouldn’t do much good
Perhaps I might ponder more not on want, but on should
There is so much beauty in this little world
So much unseen, and so much unheard
To change just one thing, I think, would do
To make the world better for me and you too
Should I make it so there aren’t any wars?
No more killing or shooting or breaking in doors?
But if I did that, the hunger’s not gone
Doesn’t that mean that the bad guys have won?
Wouldn’t we then be under they’re thumb
Forced to comply, with nowhere to run?
No, if there was one thing that I could change
From the heart, evil selfishness I would estrange.
For is this not where all wars start?
And anything else that burdens the heart?
Because we are selfish, we fear and we hate
We base decision on feeling, and yet call it fate
Many a soul was crushed and despaired
When revealing their heart, their loved ones ran scared
But when selfishness dies, the stone heart comes alive
You no longer face death, you can gladly survive
For when we have naught but kindness inside
There is no need for anyone, their true selves to hide.
Together in peace, the world can unite
And sleep easy and deep all through the night.
