surely WE can CHANGE

and the problem is this

we were bought with a kiss

but the cheek still turned

even when it wasn't hit

and i don't know

what to do with a love like that

and I don't know

how to be a love like that

when all the love in the world

is right here among us

and hatred too

and so we must choose

what our hands will do

ahere there is pain

let there be grace

where there is suffering

bring serinity

for those afraid

help them be brave

where there is misery

bring expectancy

and surely we can change

something

and the problem it seems

is with you and me

not the LOVE who came

to repair everything

where there is pain

let us bring grace

where there is suffering

bring serinity

for those afreaid

help them be brave

where there is misery

bring expectancy

and surely we can change

surely we can change

oh surely we can change

something

oh, the world's about to chance

the whole world's about to change

I listened to this song on the way home from work last night. And on the way to work this morning, I listened to it 3 times on manual repeat (manual, because I had to push the back button...). And it opened my eyes. We have all this love in this world, it's all around us; in addition to all the hatred we find. And surely we can change. The world is about to change. If we just get up and be hope, be grace, be serinity, be brave, be that relief that the world needs.

We CAN change.
