I want to change the world, from the inside out

So I’m starting with me
It took a little time, to try and clear my doubts
but now I finally see

That every issue that I had, and every battle I fought
was just another line of irrational thoughts
conjured up, by my conscious to deal with the fear
that my plans for the future were never really clear


But I see it now
I’m saying good bye to the doubts that I had
and I’m setting out

to the world of the unknown, on my own
taking in the scenic route

I’m thinking of the things that I could see with my own two eyes
wondering if they could be, as beautiful as they seem
when I see them in my dreams

For the longest time, I’ve been fighting with myself
Screaming at the stars, for the cards that I was dealt
Begging for a chance, but I didn’t understand
that the universe was tryna make me a better man

I can’t promise that I won’t fall.
But I can swear on my life, that I will give it my all
I’m not perfect, but as long as I’m alive and I am breathing
I’ll strive to be somebody that you truly can believe in

Because I know how it feels
when you’re down and out, tired from the endless ordeals
Questioning your purpose, wondering if its all worth it
Searching everywhere you can, for something that is real

Something beyond what they say you should aspire to
Something meaningful, something to inspire you
I believe, there’s gotta be a happiness beyond material possessions
And so I always ask the question


Is it worth it? Can I find it?
How do I search for it when I can't seem to define it?
Some say turn to God for direction
But we've spoken many times, and it's always the same lesson

He says...

It's all on you.
I gave you the potential, you just have to see it through
Don't believe when they tell you, you should put nothing above me
Do right by your fellow man, that's how I know you love me

So I’m taking his word for all it’s worth
and setting off in search of my purpose here on Earth
I don’t know how long it will take
but I’ve realised that, for as long as I am afraid

There’s nothing to be achieved
There’s nothing that can be earned
and nothing that can be taught
unless I’m willing to learn
No progress that can be made
No destination to set
Unless I try to be brave
In order to take that step

Outside

the home that everyone can recognise
And see the world through the scope of a different lens
See the world through a set of very different eyes
if I even hope to make the slightest l difference

I grew up in a house full of people that love me
in a country, where we never go hungry
So in this land of opportunity, the only thing that’s stopping me
is myself, and honestly, I’m done with it

So I’m taking a leaf out of MJ’s book
Saw the man in the mirror, and with just one look
I knew
That to change the world, I gotta look within
Beneath the clothes and body that I’m existing in

Start from there and the people that you know
Stay positive, stand back and watch it all grow
Realize it's all a gradual change
After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day

We are all...

Living pieces of infinity
drifting through a universe of endless possibilities
And in your obscurity
You hold the very power that you need to pave the way towards your very own destiny

I don’t want to be a preacher, I just want to be teacher
to inspire everyone to always be free thinker.
In a world that is always trying to tell you, you are weak
I want to tell you now, you’re the most important piece.
