A gun 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 We all 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 standing here My heart's on my sleeve Never gonna let you down Never ever gonna leave you Baby, that's for sure Oh I can't change the world But I can change yours I bet I can change yours
