What Can I Do

I am only one person in a world of many 
What can I do to stop the violence of the world
I can refuse to be violent I can refuse to fight
If I refuse to be violent, thats one person less

We are all just a speck in an ocean of many
but if everyone refused to be violent 
there could be no more soldiers 
there could be no more army's 
there could be no more wars

I am only one person in this world of many
what can I do to stop stavation and pain
learn to invest learn to build jobs 
parents that have wages 
can feed their child

I am only one person in this world of many
what can I do to stop anger and hatred 
Remember William Wilberforce
one white man that fought against slavery
one man that fought against the pain

Remember the abolishionist movement
People that fought against slavery
the colour of a man's skin 
does not dictate the heart of his soul
remember to love that we all might love.
