He tried to change the world

When I wake up in the morning and look outside,
Try to catch up with the free dreamers’ ride,
Look up to the streets all filled with traffic jams,
I’m thinking of our life and of all that it takes

He tried to change the world, he stood up and walked out
He jumped up in the sky to touch the fading cloud,
He tried to change the world, he never stopped to stare
He drove away for freedom and for love to share

I stopped to catch the new wave, I was all worn out,
With winters cold and hard winds blow, waiting for breakout,
I looked around and saw his shadow fading in the night,
And life did start a new amazing crazy flight

He tried to change the world, he ran as fast as he could
He opened up to people in his bizarre mood
He tried to change the world, but no one knew what he had lost
He carried shadows of his past as gloomy as a ghost

I never thought of happiness, how simple it could be
To carry out all energy, all hopes that we could build
To start up from a scratch, forgive those who were wrong,
And break into this world with a new sparkling song!

He tried to change the world, he could make people fly
He burst out with sincerity in every laugh or cry
He danced into the night with lights all shining from his hands
He shook the world, creating brand new rivers and new lands

He tried to change the world and he succeeded
He tried to change the world – and yes, he did it!
