Xavier Naidoo

Tell me why I try.

Show me who I've moved.

I'm penning thoughts that speak to empty rooms.





It's easy to forget.

The things I feel which are important.

Are only in my little world.

And the things I say.

Even if I open a vein.

Won't make much of a dent.



Can't change the world.





(chorus)



Oh, a song should go like that.

Oh, pick up a pen and kick back.

That's not how it is.

Can't you see?

Something had to happen to move me.

An ounce of my life and a lot of time.

Are all I can offer college ruled lines.



Can't change the world



(chorus)
