If I Could Change the World


Heart beats

Sound of drums

Cannon fires

Blood runs

 

A child screams

In the dead of night

A baby taken

Out of sight

 

Tip toes tower

Above the street

One step forward

Ground they meet

 

If I could change the world

No more guns would sound

If I could change the world

No one would be lost only found

If I could change the world

No more life would ever drown

 

A crying soul

Broken heart

A life lost

Death did its part

 

Rain comes

Lighting shatters

World in shambles

Now nothing matters

 

Tight grip

Around the bar

Lost its chance

Now it’s among a star

 

If I could change the world

No sorrow would take hold

If I could change the world

No storm could break the mold

If I could change the world

No baby would ever go cold
