The Best Advice Ever Given to Me

It's easy
To see what's happening to our world
To count the problems we all face
And wonder how we'll cope

It's tiring
Wondering when all those in charge
Will care about us more than wealth
It's tempting to lose hope

But the best advice that was
Ever given to me
Was to be the change in the world
I want to see

It's painful
Life will sometimes beat you up
Throw all it has right in your face
And kick you when you're down

But

It's crucial
To take it all right on the chin
To have support to deal with it
And keep your friends around

But the best advice that was
Ever given to me
Was to be the change in the world
I want to see

Be the one who friends can rely on
Be the one whose shoulder they cry on
Be the one who argues for others
Be the one who stands with your brothers
Be the one who fights oppression
Be the one who resists aggression
Be the one who speaks for the weakest
Be the one there when times are bleakest

It's hopeful
When people say enough's enough
By standing up and speaking out
To choose to get involved

Yeah

Together
We'll change the world in little ways
But all the changes will add up
Until problems are solved

And the best advice that was
Ever given to me
Was to be the change in the world
I want to see

So the best advice I have
To give to you
Is to take these changes on
And see them through
