I keep thinking each and every day
Have I really made a difference, have I made things change?
In all these years of "growing up," and "standing strong,"
Has it made a single dent with all that is so wrong?

[Chorus:]
But if I haven't done a thing for world affairs
At least I know I try and I'll show that I care
'Cause it's me that has to make an effort
Or what can I expect to change
That's where it starts, in myself
Not just shifting all the blame

And as I'm growin' older, I can see the changes
Yet history ain't history at all it seems
I try to keep my head held high, eyes open wide
And growing keeps me learning, yeah it keeps me free

[Chorus:]
What have you got to think that time will stop for you?
