The Activist

You see the plight of man And the mess that he is in You want to change his world But where do you begin This line that you have crossed Spurs thoughts inside your mind His does along with don'ts Hoping that he finds The root cause to those faults As plain as they can be You see them more than not As surely as you breathe You hope to change his mind Open up the door All of this is fine But you first must change the heart The heart is where we love The heart is where we care And unless it's soft and pliable You will get no where The best way for you to get this done Is to start out on your own When a heart is filled with hate No battles will be won Because hate can not beat hate It only fuels the fire If you truly want to change the world You first must change the heart
