Change the World - Part 1
A poem by Wayne Visser
Let’s change the world, let’s shift it Let’s shake and remake it Let’s rearrange the pieces The patterns in the maze The reason for our days In ways that make it better In shades that make it brighter That make the burden lighter Because it’s shared, because we dared To dream and then to sweat it To make our mark and not regret it Let’s plant a seed and humbly say: I changed the world today! Let’s change the world, let’s lift it Let’s take it and awake it Let’s challenge every leader The citadels of power The prisoners in the tower The hour of need’s upon us It’s time to raise our voices To stand up for our choices Because it’s right, because we fight For all that’s just and fair For a planet we can share Let’s join the cause and boldly say: We’ll change the world today! Let’s change the world, let’s love it Let’s hold it and unfold it Let’s redesign the future The fate of earth and sky The existential why Let’s fly to where there’s hope To where the world is greener Where air and water’s cleaner Because it’s smart to make a start To fix what we have broken Our children’s wish unspoken Let’s be the ones who rise and say: We changed the world today!
