I Can't Change the World

A bomb goes off in a far off city

A siren wails right here at home

Well, sometimes life ain't all that pretty

When you're watching it all alone

You build a wall around your feelings

Just another heart afraid to break

And you don't wanna let me in

'Cause, really, what difference can I make?

I can't change the world

Baby, that's for sure

But if you let me, girl

I can change yours

I bet I can change yours

So let Jesus look down on this madness

And let the powers that be just fuss and fight

'Cause everyone needs to pick their battles

And me–I realized

I can't change the world

Baby, that's for sure

But if you let me, girl

I can change yours

I bet I can change yours

And every time you light a flame

You just get burned and you feel like it's all in vain

You feel like

You need to learn that no one's gonna save you

No, no one's gonna save you

But I'm standing here

My heart's on my sleeve

Never gonna let you down

Never ever gonna leave you,

Baby, that's for sure

Whoa, I can't change the world

But I can change yours

I bet I can change yours
