there’s a lot of things I believe in
and a lot of things I like
plenty of stuff I love to do
but nothing worthwhile to write
i hear stories of clean water
next to the sale of slaves
a plan to give shoes to barefoot kids
and rid the world of AIDs
they say “pay more for fair trade goods”
and stop poverty too
buy this shirt to save a girl
it’s what all good people do
but where’s the hope in companies
that say they’re doing good
money earned and money spent
and still people without food
even one problem of the world
can’t be changed by me
i say “all i can do is pray”
but my generation wants change the world physically
even though i know what i believe and like
i don’t know where my passions lay
i’ve tried to narrow them down before
but without consistency, frustration comes at the end of the day
do i even have a passion
or is my passion just unrealized
maybe i just don’t do enough
to see my passion finalized
i don’t want to change the world
it’s not my battleground
but if i have one goal in life
it’s to see the lost be found
