When I was a young man
I wanted to change the world
I found it was difficult to change the world
So I tried to change the nation
When I found I could not change the nation
I began to focus on my town.
I could not change the town and as an older man,
I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man,
I realize the only thing I can change is myself
and suddenly I realize that
If long ago I had changed myself
I could have made an impact on my family.
My family and I could have made an impact on out town.
Their impact could have changed the nation and
I could indeed have changed the world
