My world extends only to the horizons
I know that yours does too
I feel like I am avoiding pain
but there is nothing I can do

Only in my mind can I see suffering
Yet my heart feels no pain
My television set can spur an image
but to the suffering there is no gain

War and poverty is only another story to me
I know the difference but no difference I feel
Nothing but selfishness and confusion
Only my life seems to be a big deal

I want the best, to make a change
Oh, but I have work to do
I have thought about that long and hard
mabye I shouldn't put more work before you

So a change I think I am going to make
I think I'll make today!
That I'll put the world before my life
A little work won't get in my way
