Clay World

I wish I could change the world But not like a superhero I just wish I could build my own world up from only a void If everything could start from zero With me in control Would it be better or more destroyed I wish it were a clay world So I could carve away tragedy And I wish I were a brave girl But instead the world's chaos shapes me It'd be so easy If I could mold every street to where I'm headed If I could cookie-cut all of the bad into good things instead And if I were all-powerful Then the world could be mine for a day And I can't stop wondering how I'd shape the world if it were clay I wish it were a clay world 'Cause then it'd be okay But it'll never be a clay world So I guess life's what I make of it Control isn't necessary But it's awfully comforting The world at anybody's hands would fall apart 'Cause we're all still learning and unlearning But sometimes selfishly I wish it were my clay world
