What Would You Change Scholarship Slam
If I could change anything
In the entire world
I'd change the way judgment fills
the eyes of teenage girls.
I'd change the way
the whispers hurt
the ones they are about
and I would change the way
some people feel;
like there is no way out.
I'd change the way some children sleep
with no pillow under their head
and I'd change the way some children have no parent
to get the monsters out from under their bed.
I'd change the way this whole world works
from the outside in
I'd change the entire world;
restore it new again.
I'd change the we see one another
so that we know how lucky we are.
I would re-program all of us,
to thank our lucky stars.
There are many things I would change
yes, so much I would do,
but really, I need to change myself,
before I start changing you.
