What Would I Change: The Answer Is Above

What Would I Change

If I had just one day 

To make things my way

 

What would I Change

That would make an impact

And make someone stand up and act

 

What Would I Change 

There is so many things to name

To kindle an internal flame 

 

I Would Change 

The hunger in Thailand

The oppresses in Japan

 

I Would Change

The tension in Israel 

And the French miserable 

 

I Would Change

The rising debt

And the entitlement to get

 

I Would Change 

The gluttony in America

And worry about African malaria

 

I Would Change

The lies and deceits 

The drunkards and the cheats

 

I Would Change 

The lazy and uncaring

The existential and despairing 

 

I Would Change 

The people that search for purpose

In a place that is a carcass 

 

What Would I Change

there you have it

I hope this helped you understand a bit

 

What Would I Change

It is written above

In hope that we would respond with love

 

What Would I Change

Is pulling on my heartstring

Willing me to look to the King
