I won't turn away
(I won't turn away)
I won't turn away
(I won't turn away)
I won't turn away
(I won't turn away)
I won't turn away
(I won't turn away)

From indifference and selfishness
And carelessness and irresponsibility
These are the downfalls of human nature
And I just want to break free
And I'm wondering where to start
And we all think we're so smart

But I'm still here and you're still here
And neither one of us has changed the world
(Can't change the world)
And though I've tried and I've cried
And I hope that I did some good
It didn't turn out like I thought it would
But I still won't turn away
Sometimes I don't know what to think
Sometimes I don't know what to say
But I still won't turn away
I won't turn away
(I won't turn away)
I won't turn away
(I won't turn away)
I won't turn away
(I won't turn away)
I won't turn away
(I won't turn away)

Sometimes I really wish that I could
Just look it in the face
But the ignorance is not confined
It's all over the place
And it's inside of me and it's inside of you
I never do the things I say I'm gonna do
Sometimes my fear just runs my life
And all I want is someplace to hide

But I'm still here and you're still here
And neither one of us has changed the world
(Can't change the world)
Though I've tried and I've cried
And I hoped that I did some good
It didn't turn out like I thought it would
But I still won't turn away
Sometimes I don't know what to think
Sometimes I don't know what to say
But I still won't turn away
But as long as you and me are here
We can change a little part of our world
(Can't change the world)
If we can't make it better
At least we won't make it worse
Sometimes I don't know what to think
But I still won't turn away
Sometimes I don't know what to think
Sometimes I don't know what to say
But I still won't turn away
