Six billion souls to reach—
Six billions spirits seeking—
Six billion minds to teach—
What challenges await me
As I pick up my pen?
I seek to change the world
By bringing hope to men,
But I feel like I’m chipping
A mountain with a spoon—
A cow, who skips and dreams
Of vaulting o’er the moon!
What hope is there for me,
A name that no one knows?
How can I break the walls down
And conquer all the foes?
I have no magic words,
No formula to brew;
I cannot change a billion,
But I can touch a few!—
I may not fix the world,
But I can reach to one,
’Til I have dented the mountain
Through all my love has done—
So I will meet the challenge,
And draw myself a line—
And I will change the world
One
Word
At
A
Time.
