Everyone talks about what they want to do
Who knows what the future will hold?
God decides the path we walk upon
Everyone's got dreams, yeah
I know about a man who once said "I have a dream" and stood up in front of millions and expressed his dream
Shouldn't we all get a chance in this world to find our dream?
What do you say to trying?
What do you say to taking a chance?
What do you say to changing the world?
This could bring me the light of my life
Or it could bring extreme disappointment
Either way, at least I'm trying
At least I'm taking a chance
And at least I'm changing the world
I hope a little one will look up to me in years to come with their little eyes and simply ask me, "Mommy, what were you doing when you were a teenager?"
I will smile and reply back, "I was changing the world. And you can do just the same with a little hope"
Maybe this won't last for long
Maybe this will change the entire journey of my life
Maybe I'm taking this chance too early
Maybe I'm running when I should be taking baby steps
But what do you say to trying?
What do you say to taking a chance?
What do you say to changing the world?
This could make it or break it
But while I have a chance, I'm going to conquer it
I have passed up too many chances in my life
Hopefully God will listen
God, put that on my itinerary
And land the plane right here
I need to get off before it crashes
I don't know where this will end up
And I don't know when I'll write the last line
I hope that it will stay with me forever
But at least I'm trying
At least I'm taking that chance
And at least I'm changing the world for a moment in time
Everyone says sky diving is fun
And everyone says rollercoasters are the best rides
I don't get that, do you?
I'll jump and go upside down while the ink drips from my pen all I want
But this is my chance for maturity, not fun
My friends will be going out and getting wasted at parties
I will be mature and writing about what I'm observing
I don't know how many judgments I will take to heart
Or threats I will recieve
But what do you say to trying?
What do you say to taking a chance?
What do you say to changing the world?
For better or for worse
I will take this experience and all that it throws at me in stride
And stand up tall because I have that dream
That little bit of magic everyone searches for in their life
That little bit of dust forming from the ground
That little bit of cloud forming from above
So, go ahead, hate me if you wish
Praise me if you wish
Tear me down if you wish
But you will not end this dream
I tried
I took that chance
And I changed the world..
