Something More

Going from day to day
Filling my life with endless play
when will i do something worth while,
Something that will make someone else smile
I am so selfish with my lifelong goals
I want money and success when others just want clothes without holes.

How come i can't reach out to those in need?
Or make time in my schedule to find those hungry to feed?
I have so much and yet so little i give back
instead of being content i see only what i lack
There are so many people in this planet we call home
and sometimes i forget all the struggles except my own.
I want to do something more than just this and that
i want to make a difference but i keep falling flat
there has to be something more i know i can find
i just need to set a side time and finally make up my mind
i dont want to be the person who has everything they desire
i want to be the person that raises other people higher
our world is crumbling around us, it's not hard to see
But i know we can save each other and it starts today with me.
