A World That Needs Change

There are too many problems that the world faces now
The poor and the homeless
The prostitutes and the crimes
And yet wesay we will do something about this
But I have yet to see this...
Plan that we supposedly made

If you wanted to end all these problems
It starts now with actions
Not by words that have no real meaning
It's time to get up on our feet
And help improve society
Then maybe this world will change for good...

Too many little children who have lives at stake
Too many crying everyday
Too many left by themselves
And there are foolish people bringing more into this world
But they neglect and leave them
Or try to kill them off

Why not try to solve all of these problems
That seems to plague life everyday
Unless we are so cold that we don't care
Heed my words if you really want
To help improve society
Then maybe this world will change for good...

If you wanted to end all these problems
It starts now with actions
Not by words that have no real meaning
It's time to get up on our feet
And help improve society
Then maybe this world will change for good...
