Can I change the World?

All I want to do is change the world.

Not in any meaningful way
Not to any sort of paradise
Not to a place without pain
Not into anything else

I just want to prove it can be changed.

So men and women far greater than I
Can do things far greater than I
and Change the world in meaningful ways
and Do the things I'll never manage

Maybe the history books will keep
A little space for me at the bottom of the page
A footnote in the introduction
An honorable mention in the hall of fame

That says
This man proved it was possible
This man took the first step
He planted the seed

Now see what these OTHER guys did!
