gun goes off in a far off city 
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
