wake up to change
by jeff semple
to make it a better place
it’s why i am awake
it is why i was made
what can I do to make a change?
i can listen
i can learn
i can lead
i can dream
i can laugh
i can weep
i can build
i can reach
change can happen through these things
to make it a better place
it’s why i am awake
it is why i was made
the girl sold for $10 a day
that needs to change
children fighting wars with guns
preventable disease taking our daughters and sons
men with no god
killing those who claim one
we must love others the way we are loved
change can happen, and it begins with us
i woke up to change the world today
to make it a better place
it’s why i am awake
it is why i was made
the world will always be the same
and i think that seems true somedays
days like tomorrow and yesterday
but what about today
today is the day we are alive
today is the day we celebrate
today is the day we open our eyes
today is the day that we can change
what can we do to make a change?
we can teach our kids
to love their neighbor
we can forget the debts
and forgive the debtor
we can give more now
and not save for later
we can use our voices
for good not for slander
change can happen now and forever.
change your life, change your dinner
change your clock, change where your living,
change your clothes, change the channel,
change the view, change the label,
change your job, change the subject,
change in private, change in public,
change your words, change the color,
change yourself before you criticize others.
one soul, one life,
one body, and one mind
live well together
eat meals together
share stories together
praise God together
change the world, and make it better
so now that you’re awake
what in the world will you change
