[Verse 1]
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 whisperin' a prayer in the fury of a storm
[Chorus]
And I hear them sayin', 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
[Verse 2]
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 tryin' to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss
[Chorus]
And I hear them sayin', 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
[Bridge]
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone
[Chorus]
And I hear them sayin', 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
[Outro]
What I do is so, this world will know, that it will not change me
