So much of what is
Is
Uncontrollable
Outside the realm of our
Power
Out of our
Reach
     
Yet we sit for hours
Plagued by
Worries
Watching it go by
Frustrated and alone
Becoming more afraid
Each day
     
More bits of news
Constantly flooding
Us
Besieging us with the world
With the sad
Heartache of
Everywhere
    
Not as if we don't have
Enough of our
Own
Got to go out and
Find out about
Everyone else's
Misery
     
What is the point
What can we do
About it
Couldn't our energy be
Better spent
Focused on our own
Worlds
    
Concentrate on making our own
Corner
Happier
Put our energy to use
Helping those we can help
Doing what we
Can do
     
Lots of
Sadness in the
World
And my heart goes out to
All the troubled souls
Each new
Problem
     
But I have got to do
Something
Constructive
Not just sit back
Listen and moan
Feel bad about
All the sadness
     
Got to reach out
Touch my own
People
Help them with their
Troubles
Share my
Smile
     
Stop being alienated
Stop feeling
Powerless
Cause we can each
Make a contribution
Do something to
Help
     
But it is only on our
Own
Level
Starting at home with our
Own people
Making their lives
Better
    
We each hold the power to
Make a
Difference
Not for the world
But for our own
Small part of
It
