I'm sorry
But I don't want to follow
The ways of the world anymore
I would like to help fix
If not, fully heal people
We all want to do the right thing 
Especially in a world so cold
But somehow we have lost our way
From being helpful 
To turning selfish 
And careless to each and one another
Greed has corrupted today's generation 
And not a single soul has done anything 
To help solve the problem
But rather worsen the issue
While money can buy us worldly possessions 
It can't buy us happiness
It can't fill in the holes in our hearts
This cold world that we live in
Has so many things that are happening
While the war wages on overseas 
Have we not yet realize the war 
That we have been facing in our own country
The war that's been taking place within ourselves
Every day
The minute we wake up from our slumber
We face the daily battle 
With our personal demons 
Either it be from addiction
Suffering from depression 
Or contemplating suicide
And so forth
Society has told us
In order to get better
Take medications to get rid of depression
To end the suicidal thoughts
Have we become so dependent on medicine 
That we must sacrifice our own health
In order to heal
When an individual decides to end their life
And they pull the trigger
Does anybody hear it
Or do people see it
And they choose to ignore it
My fellow listeners 
We have the opportunity 
To change our ways 
We have the ability 
To start thinking on our own
Instead of having the world think for us
We have the chance to plant a seed of inspiration 
To be a light for those who are lost in the dark
We can achieve peace
We can achieve a new life for all of us
If we could put aside our pride
And our fears
We can start listening to our hearts
Instead of religion telling us 
On what to believe in
Even if this message only gets to one person
It's enough to help them 
See through the dark
Because to the world you may be only one person
But to one person you may be the world.
