Compassion (Change The World) - Rough Draft

I see a scene of empty eyes

Their silence speaks that life’s not fair

They feel the weight of all their hunger

And I feel the weight of their despair

And thats a burden hard to bear

Well, I can’t change the world

But I can live with open hands

And I can’t change the world

But I can give all that I can

And I can pray and I can love

And when all is said and done

I can’t change the world

But I can change the world for one

Hope can drown in so much need

And that’s a poor excuse to turn away

Cos I have seen a grateful smile

Shining on a childs face

And that’s why I have faith

Well, I can’t change the world

But I can live with open hands

And I can’t change the world

But I can give all that I can

And I can pray and I can love

And when all is said and done

I can’t change the world

But I can change the world for one

Half a world away

Or just across the street

May my eyes be open to

Anyone in need

Well, I can’t change the world

No, I can’t change the world

No… No…

But I can pray and I can love

And when all is said and done

I can’t change the world

But I can change the world for one

For one…
