"I Can't Change The World" Brad Paisley

"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

This song by Brad Paisley illustrates the fact that one person alone cannot change the madness of the world that we live in. There is too much violence around the world and even around us everyday that one person cannot make a difference in the grand scheme of things. This song, though it may seem kind of depressing, is not really. One person alone can't change the world, but one person can change another single person's life, and then that person can change another person's life. So in return, people's lives are changing due to other people, but the world will not change just from one person. Making a difference in just one person's life everyday can be a small contribution to eventually changing how we live as humans.
