Making a Personal Change
The world looks to us such a mess
so we think we’re able to do a fix
but how we expect to change the world
it’s too big a prob for our few tricks
Take a deep long think inside
ponder a lot on what to do
take a real look inside your heart
maybe need to change you
You see before you change the world
there’s a little change you do need
and that’s within your own heart
now there’s a thought to ponder indeed
So go and change yourself within
only then this world will transform
now if everywhere were to do that
that would really cause a storm
(‘Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing himself’. - Leo Tolstoy)
