The Change

Garth Brooks · The Ultimate Hits [2007]

One hand reaches out

And pulls a lost soul from harm

While a thousand more go unspoken for

And they say what good have you done

By saving just this one?

It's like whispering a prayer in the fury of a storm



And I hear them saying

You'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world will know

That it will not change me



This heart still believes

That love and mercy still exist

While all the hatreds rage

And so many say

That love is all but pointless

In madness such as this

It's like trying to stop a fire

With the moisture from a kiss



And I hear them saying

You'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world will know

That it will not change me



As long as one heart still holds on

Then hope is never really gone



And I hear them saying

You'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world we know

Never changes me



What I do is so

This world will know

That it will not change me
