"We Want Change!"
We hear all people say,
“I want to save a life someday”.
Well I say, “Really?
Why not today?”
People are dying all over the world
12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days a year.
Selling it as your Bucket List,
I can’t help but insist
That you really should try it daily.
Hey, maybe it’ll make you an optimist.
The world is full of people who
Refuse to hand over their luxury
To change someone else’s life.
Why won’t we change?
It’s not hard when people join in.
We say it takes a man
To start a revolution
But it takes an army
To end one.
I say it’s time to sink or swim.
So where do you keep the sign up list
To begin?
We scream and shout that
“We want change!”
I roll my eyes at the same ol’ thing
Actions speak louder than words,
Or so I’m told.
Why won’t we change?
It’s not hard when we simply join in.
We say it takes a man
To start a revolution
But it takes an army
To end one.
