One Change

I wish I could teach the world one simple thing, 
then pray that they grasp it and start following.

Because it would change every outcome to be, 
dispel all the darkness and set the soul free.

‘Twould make everything we do under the sun 
a pure joy to do just because of this one 

simple change that has nothing to do with the things 
that we spend our time doing, no that's not the thing.

But rather the change I wish each soul would try -
don't change what you’re doing... change the reason why.
