Good Change Coming
Written October 7, 2012
My soul burns inside
And it comes comes out to hide
When its so shocked to hear
That the darkness is here
Would you believe in the words that I say
Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls
With a paper in front and a pen in my hand
I just want to change the world
Is it too much to ask
Too abstract to grasp
This idea that's been running
I promise there's good change coming
With a bullet and a gun
You'll get any man to run
But it takes diplomacy
To get a real man to see
Would you believe in the words that I say
Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls
With a paper in front and a pen in my hand
I could really change the world
Is it too hard to be
The man I want to see
When I look in the mirror
Lord I pray it was clearer
With a permanent marker
I color in darker
The world that I see
Ain't what it should be
Would you believe in the words that I say
Even if they aren't diamonds and pearls
With a paper in front and a pen in my hand
I am going to change the world
