How to Change the World

When I was young
I asked the Lord
to give me power
to change the world.

To make my life
to count for something.
To bring it all
and leave with nothing.

In my mind
I know I meant,
"to give me famed
accomplishment.

"To be revered 
for all of time.
To make the name
above all, mine."

In my chest
I get dishearted 
when it beats
like when I started.

When I want for
fame and glory, 
like I'm the point
of this whole story.

The change inside 
is harder fought,
than any war
on any plot.

But still we fight
to battle pride
Daily seeking 
where it hides.

Rooting out 
the source of sin,
healing all the hurt 
within.

Self-deceived, 
I point and shout
at all the sin
I find without.

Seeing the speck
inside your eye,
consumes the plank
inside of mine.

Crying "Sight!"
it seems I'm blind
The world that needs
the change, is mine.
