Don’t Take Much

I admit I'm not afraid to die
And the older I get
The more that ain't no lie
I'll miss the pleasures of summer's start
And that sinking feeling in my heart
See there was a time
I thought the world was mine
I found it's much bigger than me
And that's just fine

I guess all I want
Is to leave this place just a little bit better
Than it was
Leave you something that could live forever
Just because
It don't take much to change the world
It don't take much
No, it don't take much to change the world
Just a little love for every boy and girl
No, it don't take much to change the world

I'm still the same
As when I was young
And my heart still beats
To the rhythm of a drum
I keep my head high
When life gets heavy
If the storm don't let up
I keep her steady
See, we're all in this miracle together
It's the simple things close to me
I'll always treasure

I guess all I want
Is to leave this place just a little bit better
Than it was
Leave you something that could live forever
Just because
It don't take much to change the world
It don't take much
No, it don't take much to change the world
Just a little love for every boy and girl
No, it don't take much to change the world

Let the power
Of goodness and grace
Rule over hatred
Taking it's place
And if you ever
Get the chance to make a change
Make it for the betterment
Of the human race

Cause it don't take much to change the world
No, no, no, no
Just a little love for every boy and girl
No, it don't take much to change the world
