The Change

One hand reaches out And pulls a lost soul from harm While a thousand more go unspoken for And they say, "What good have you done by saving just this one" It's like whispering a prayer In the fury of a storm And I hear them saying, "You'll never change things And no matter what you do It's still the same thing" But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so, this world will know That it will not change me This heart still believes That love and mercy still exist While all the hatreds rage And so many say "That love is all but pointless, In madness such as this "It's like trying to stop a fire With the moisture from a kiss" And I hear them saying, "You'll never change things And no matter what you do It's still the same thing" But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so, this world will know That it will not change me As long long as one heart still holds on Then hope is never really gone And I hear them saying, "You'll never change things And no matter what you do It's still the same thing" But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so, this world we know Never changes me What I do is so, this world will know That it will not change me
