I Can’t Save The World
I am just a boy
I sleep in my bed; I eat at my kitchen table
When the sun is out, I play outside
Or I don’t
But I can’t save the world
I am just a boy
I imagine myself growing old
And when I do, I pray it isn’t alone
But it might be
And I didn’t save the world
I am just a boy
I try not to think about my mistakes
Anymore than I have to, to learn
And I make a lot
Like not saving the world
I am just a boy
I bleed the same way as you do
Just not as often – or maybe more
I hope it’s the second
Since I’m not saving the world
I am just a boy
I jump on the bandwagon, sometimes
I didn’t even like POGS
There goes my money
Meanwhile, I could’ve been saving the world
I am just a boy
The night sky makes me feel insignificant, sometimes
So it’s a good thing I’m already on my back
I’d be knocked there
Now I know I can’t save the world
I am just a boy
Most of the time I wish that I could fly
So that I could see the Seven Wonders of the World
And all its problems
Just because I didn’t save the world
I am just a boy
I complain about having so much to do
At least I have those opportunities
Others do not
Even for them, I do not save the world
I am just a boy
Even amongst the busyness, I still get bored
So I preoccupy myself with hobbies
One of them is not
Saving the world
I am just a boy
I have trouble making eye contact
Especially with starving children on my TV
It inspires me
I decide to save the world, but I don’t
I am just a boy
I have a goal to be famous one day
And have influence over thousands, like Oprah
And I will relax
And forget about trying to save the world
I am just a boy
I reflect on my life, maybe too much
And I realize how little I have done
And I feel guilty
For I have not saved the world
I am just a boy
I have started to realize my limits
And made realistic goals for the world
Like changing myself
Because I can’t save the world
