The Change--In Honor of 9/11

This post is dedicated to 9/11.  This is actually a song that was written by Garth Brooks after the Oklahoma City bombing, but I think it is also very fitting to the events of 9/11 as well and I just wanted to share it.  It struck a cord in me then and still does to this day.

THE CHANGE

One hand reaches out and pulls a lost soul from harm

While a thousand more go unspoken for

They say what good have you done

By saving just this one

It's like whispering a prayer

In the fury of the storm

And I hear them saying you'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world will know that

It will not change me

This heart still believes that love and mercy still exist

While all the hatreds rage and so many say

That love is all but pointless in madness such as this

It's like trying to stop a fire

With the moisture from a kiss

As long as one heart still holds on

Then hope is never really gone

I hear them saying you'll never change things

And no matter what you do it's still the same thing

But it's not the world that I am changing

I do this so this world we know

Never changes me

What I do is so

This world will know

That it will not change me
