Afraid To Change the World

I never thought I’d be so afraid Of change, and what I’d to to my life, And others’. I feel like a revolutionary, Standing behind the curtains Afraid to read the speech leading others into battle. I know they won’t be ready to hear the cries of pain, to see the blood of Death itself, to feel the suffering of hell, for all the wrong that they have done. Like the sinner man, Afraid to pray Afraid to be forgiven Afraid to make another mistake To dirty his newly cleaned soul Afraid to change the world Afraid to make it dark and full of pain Afraid to change it for the worse.
