If one man could change the world

Music and words Quentin Eyers

There is hunger in Africa
There's no peace in the Middle East
There's overcrowding in India
Where there's a famine or a feast
Yet without judging or predjudice
Let's turn the spotlight on
Let all people tell their stories
As the world is looking on
So that every single person
Is valued and believed
As we help each other help ourselves to help each other

If one man could change the world
I'd like to be that man
Make a mark and take the future in my hands Right the wrongs
And use my life to make it good
For all our disempowered people

There's no water in Ethiopia
While Eastern Europeans freeze
There's injustice in Australia
Depends on who you believe
Yet without judging or predjudice...

If one man could change the world
I'd like to be that man
Make a mark and take the future in my hands Right the wrongs
And use my life to make it good
For all our disempowered people

But there are so many
And I am just one man
And I'm not the first
To think of such a futile plan
But if it must start somewhere
It might as well be with me
It might just as well be me

If one man could change the world...
