inhale hope, exhale determination

One hand reaches out

And pulls a lost soul from harm

While a thousand more go unspoken for

They say what good have you done, by saving just this one

It's like whispering a prayer in the fury of a storm.

 

And I hear them saying you'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world will know

That it will not change me.

 

This heart still believes that love and mercy still exist

While all the hatred rage and so many say

That love is all but pointless in madness such as this

It's like trying to stop a fire, with the moisture from a kiss.

 

And I hear them saying you'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world will know

That it will not change me.

 

As long as one heart still holds on then hope is never really gone.

 

I hear them saying you'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world we know

Never changes me.
