all it would take

there was a time when i believed

that all it would take is one look

one heart to change me

there was a time when i could see

a straightaway line for someone

somehow to wake me

but innocence gets paid in flames

and dreams of change waste on the vine

when all it would take is

one voice

one light

one hand

writing the words of

one choice

one fire

one pen

changing the world within me and around me

changing the world within me and around me

that's all it would take

there was a time when i could fly

i'd open my mind and nothing was above me

i felt i could climb the mountains high

but then when i reached the summit

was it just me?

the darkest night in disbelief

and hope could fade or start to ignite

and all it would take is

one voice

one light

one hand

writing the words of one choice

one fire

one pen

changing the world within me and around me

changing the world within me

who would have known that's all it would take

within me and around me

changing the world within me

that's all it would take

there was a time when i believed

that all it would take is one look

one heart to change me
