Changing the World
If you had a choice to change the world
Do you know where you would start?
Could you do enough to make a difference
Without everything falling apart?
The environment, global warming and rising crime rates
These issues would be on my list
Terrorism, poverty and cures for disease
They'd be first I would insist
Our children are our future
But what future will there be
The next generation needs to have hope
World change now is up to you and me
Things can't be left how they are now
The populations' slowly being destroyed
Either killing one another or dying of ill health
Both of which we could avoid
But in order to continue our existence on earth
Our planet we must now nurture
Without people and place to live
Our world will have no future
