What Are You Going To Do

It only takes one person to make a difference in the world we live in today.
It takes one person to pave the way.
It takes one person’s dream.
It takes one person’s passion.
It takes the want to care about others before yourself.
It takes courage.
It takes strength.
It takes patience.
It takes heart.
We say we want things to change
that every day
it shouldn’t have to be this way.
What are we going to do?
It takes our feet standing up
stepping out of our doors
and going as far as we need to go
to make it all happen.
It doesn’t take us
waiting.
sitting there.
for someone else to do do it.
You have the choice to be the change.
or to let it just be the same.
What are you going to do?
Do you want it all the same?
Or do you want to see some change?
Well what are you going to do?
