Change the World

Prelude

Silent halls where secrets gather

Threads of longing woven thin

Candles flicker, questions whisper

Where does true redemption begin

Shadows shifting in the distance

Ancient songs we barely know

Hearts entwined in quiet searching

Choosing which seeds we will sow

Footsteps echo down the ages

Carried hopes and ancient fears

All the battles, all the pages

Written with our silent tears

Now the fires burn much brighter

With the dawn that calls us home

Every journey, every trial

Starts with steps we've yet to own

Verse 1

You point your finger at the sky

Demanding every wrong be right

But in the mirror, out of sight

The same old shadows hide tonight

Pre-Chorus

The louder that you scream and shout

The more your truth keeps fading out

Chorus

You wanna change the world around you

Paint the darkness into light

But the hardest road you'll walk through

Is the one that's deep inside

Before you try to lead the way

Before you tell the stars to shine

Change yourself before the world

And watch the pieces fall in line

Post-Chorus

The revolution starts within

Not with a battle you can win

Verse 2

You build your castles made of blame

And call it justice in your name

But every fire that you ignite

Still leaves your own heart cold at night

Pre-Chorus

The cracks you hide behind your pride

Are waiting just beneath the tide

Chorus

You wanna change the world around you

Paint the darkness into light

But the hardest road you'll walk through

Is the one that's deep inside

Before you try to lead the way

Before you tell the stars to shine

Change yourself before the world

And watch the pieces fall in line

Post-Chorus

The revolution starts within

Not with a battle you can win

Bridge

Turn the lens around and see

The person you were meant to be

Every change begins with one

Before a thousand hearts are won

Verse 3

A better future starts today

With every flaw you face away

The world won't change from empty words

But from the lessons that are learned

Chorus

You wanna change the world around you

Paint the darkness into light

But the hardest road you'll walk through

Is the one that's deep inside

Before you try to lead the way

Before you tell the stars to shine

Change yourself before the world

And watch the pieces fall in line

Verse 4

The mirror never learned to lie

It shows the reason, shows the why

And when you finally make that choice

The world may hear a different voice

Chorus

You wanna change the world around you

Paint the darkness into light

But the hardest road you'll walk through

Is the one that's deep inside

Before you try to lead the way

Before you tell the stars to shine

Change yourself before the world

And watch the pieces fall in line
