A bomb goes off in a far-off city
A siren wails right here at home
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 want to 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
(Verse)
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 me I realize
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
(Bridge)
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 going to save you
No, no one's going to save you
But I'm standing here
My heart's on my sleeve
Never going to let you down
Never ever going to leave you
Baby, that's for sure
Whoa, I can't change the world
But I can change yours
I bet I can change yours
(Outro)
