One Person Can Change the World Verse 1 One person can change the world I’ve heard it all my life Stuck inside my fucking brain Like a shard beneath the skin Maybe Michael put it there Maybe I just knew it first But I’ve spent my whole damn life Looking for the one who’d burst Through the walls Through the silence Through the sickness we’ve become I’ve tried to make somebody rise I’ve tried to find the one Chorus One person can change the world One spark can start the flame One voice can break the silence One soul can change the game I kept waiting for somebody To stand up and take the call But nobody wants the mantle So I’ll carry it myself Verse 2 I’ve stood beside men And tried to wake the fire Tried to find somebody willing To reach a little higher But everybody’s waiting For somebody else to move Waiting for permission Waiting for the proof And I’m fucking tired of waiting While the whole damn thing decays Watching beautiful light beings Drown themselves away Drugs and bottles Numb the minds While the sickness carries on And the people who could change it Are too broken to stand up Chorus One person can change the world One spark can start the flame One voice can break the silence One soul can change the game I kept waiting for somebody To stand up and take the call But nobody wants the mantle So I’ll carry it myself Verse 3 I went through the vortex I went down into the deep Through the places in my mind That I didn’t want to see And somewhere in the darkness Something whispered back to me “You’ve been looking for the revolutionary Why don’t you look at what you see?” Maybe I’m emotional Maybe that’s the point Maybe fire in the belly Isn’t something to destroy Maybe feeling everything Is exactly what makes me move Maybe all this fucking pressure Was designed to push me through Bridge They can call me crazy They can tell me I’m wrong They can tell me I’ve been dreaming I’ve been dreaming all along But I’ve been shown enough To know I can’t pretend I can’t keep watching everything decay And call that living I can’t keep waiting for a savior When the answer starts within If nobody lights the match Then somebody has to begin Breakdown Wake up Wake up Wake up Get your mind back Get your fire back Get your fucking life back Not tomorrow Not someday Not when somebody else appears Right now Right here While we’re still here Final Chorus One person can change the world One spark can start the flame One voice can break the silence One soul can change the game I don’t know what comes after this I don’t know where it leads But I know I will not sit here Watching everything bleed I will not relent I will not disappear I will keep the fire burning Till the vision becomes clear Outro Maybe the one Was never coming Maybe the one Was never you Maybe the one Was always waiting For somebody To finally do So here I am No crown No army No permission Just a fire And a decision One person Can change the world.
