Changing the World
by Michelle Goodale

The pain so deep
So hard to forget
It’s hard to trust another.
Not one man has stayed for long
In my trusting soul.
So standing here now
In pain so deep
Afraid to take a step
Afraid to trust another.
I’d give my life at any moment
For anybody
But that doesn’t mean that trust has come.
What is means
There is a need
To change the world for better
One problem is
It takes more than one
It takes many to back the cause.
So spread th word
And stand around
Heading forward
Fighting for right
Don’t give up
If I die along the way
I’m not the only leader
Just keep on going and win the fight
‘Cause you know what’s right.
