I once had the notion
That I'd change the world
With hopes, thoughts and ideas
A splendor of new philosophy
That would not build anew
But change what we have
That is already within us
The desire to be human
By redefining what it means
That a human is more
More than what is shallow
About every one of us
It is what we have
The choice to continue on
In the development of all
That's deep inside each person
Core traits that make us
Want to connect to someone
Connecting to be cared for
And maybe, maybe even loved
Because we love what's precious
And beautiful souls are that
We want to be seen
For the traits hidden inside
We know we are fragile
But what if we did...
We put it all out there
We exposed our own fragility
Being so exposed would maybe
Help us remember that others
Are actually the same too
They're too important to break
If we considered all others
How we consider ourselves inside
Maybe we would view life
With a little more appreciation
And just maybe
We would change the world
