One Man Can'T Change the World
I can not overcome
the problems of the world
but each person
can overcome
their own problems
You can teach
your children to hate
or you can teach
your children to love
you can build war
after war
or build city's
and playgrounds
you can argue
fight and bicker
or build smiles
love and trust
working together
saving together
you can build jobs
for your people
or watch as people
starve and die
you can create wars
create refugees
drive people
from their homes
or work together
to make a better life
you can teach
your children to hate
Americans
teach you children
to become bombs
use your children
as canon fodder
in a never ending war
or build a world
that loves peace
with jobs and hope
for everybody
one man can't
change the world
but each individual
can change themselves
