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?
