A gun goes off in a far off city
A siren wails right here at home
Well sometimes life ain't all that pretty

When you're watching it all alone

You build a wall around your feelings

Just another heart afraid to break
And you don't wanna let me in cause really
What difference can I make?


I can't change the world
Baby, that's for sure

But if you let me, girl
I can change yours
I bet I can change yours


So let Jesus look down on this mess
And let the powers that be just fuss and fight

Cause everyone needs to pick their battles and
We all realize


That I can't change the world
Baby, that's for sure
But if you let me, girl

I can change yours
I bet I can change yours


And every time you light a flame
You just get burned and you feel like
It's all in vain

You feel like
You need to learn that no one's gonna save you
No, no one's gonna save you

But I'm standing here
My heart's on my sleeve
Never gonna let you down

Never ever gonna leave you

Baby, that's for sure

Oh I can't change the world
But I can change yours
I bet I can change yours
