What Would You Change?


Most of us would want to change the world.

Some of us might even change ourselves.

I would tell us to change how we look.

I don't mean go out and get a complete makeover.

You can if you want; it's not for me to decide.

 

I want us to change how we look.

I know sometimes you just want to give up.

Nothing goes right.

Anything that can go wrong will.

 

Even when everything seems to be working against you,

Never look defeated. 

Think of it like this...

 

Everything that happens to you is to make you stronger;

You can't change the world because it's not meant to change.

 

Life is guiding you towards something better, even if it doesn't look it.
