A bomb goes off in a far-off city A siren wails right here at home 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 realize
That 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 standin’ 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
