I'm tired of writing about love,
I'm tired of writing about trust
Looking to the skies above,
Thinking about the memories of,
You and I,
Love is patient, love is blind
But why do I need, love,
When I can open my minds eye
And see a world never seen before
Envision a world of peace and no war
A world rid of the reasons our children are crying for
a world in which everyone is valued
Instead of thrown, like trash, to the floor

I'm tired of writing about change,
I'm tired of writing about space
Maybe instead of words on a screen
I can make these visions a reality
We can make the change, one person at a time
Curing the sick, healing the blind
When we all can work together,
We can achieve a global peace of mind

Change doesn't just happen,
It's caused by an event
Most often, catastrophic
But it doesn't leave a dent,
On the minds of those it didn't affect
We have ideals and values we want to protect
But we leave our kindness at war's doorstep
