Expect to Change

I keep thinking each and every day
Have I really made a difference? Have I made things change?
In all these years of growing up and standing strong
Has it made a single dent with all that is so wrong?

But if I haven't done a thing for world affairs
At least I know I try and I'll show that I care
Cause it's me that has to make an effort
Or what can I expect to change?
That's where it starts, in myself
Not just shifting all the blame

And as I'm growing older I can see the changes
Yet history ain't history at all it seems
I try to keep my head held high, eyes open wide
And growing keeps me learning yeah it keeps me free

But if I haven't done a thing for world affairs
At least I know I try and I'll show that I care
Cause it's me that has to make an effort
Or what can I expect to change?
That's where it starts, in myself
Not just shifting all the blame

What have you got to think that time will stop for you?
