The Way We Change


How do you change the world It's a question worth asking back and forth we go Are we right? Are we wrong? We don't know until we've done it for our oppressed fathers and our disgruntled mothers We change the world not by asking how or why but by looking forward and giving change a try You'll never know what you can do until it's over and done You don't know the length of the battle you're waging until it's already won We change the world by holding hand and hand by giving sweet smiles among broken men by laughing with joy and crying in pain by looking up again We change the world with doing with action holding close to our hearts a dream not so far by reaching the unreachable star We change the world by believing in people in hearts and in minds in souls as in stature believe in your brothers and your sisters and yourself because the way we change the world is with confidence
