It’s such a lovely day, the sun is warm
And I really must admit- I love my wonderful home
I’ve been so blessed, living in comfort
But every now and then… thoughts come creeping in
of a world in despair, I see it in the news
But it’s really not my problem- what’s going on out there
~and besides~
This is such a safe place, so predictable
got a good routine going, all my ducks in a row
but sometimes I suspect… down deep inside
there’s more that I was made for than a comfortable life
Maybe I could make a difference, even change the world,
but what if it’s not safe?..........what if it’s not clean??
But what if that is everything I was ever meant to be
What if someone ‘round the world’s
dying to hear the words I speak
What if someone’s starving
and I’m the only one who can feed
What if I could live beyond my wildest dreams!
…But I’m so comfortable, here in my easy chair
sitting gazing out at the sparkling water
It’s so enjoyable, see the birds out there
flying on their way, I’m in such a lovely place
Maybe I’ll change the world…
…some other day.
