Half of me wants to knock you out

Half of me wants to tell you that I'm sorry, so sorry

Meanwhile, half of the world wants to scream and

shout at half of the world

Just like you and I

Just another fact of life

We plan and we scheme

'Til there's nothing left of our little dream

But half of the time I can't decide and

Half of the time I'm petrified



I want to change the world

I want to make it well

How can I change the world

When I can't change myself

Try again tomorrow

I'd love to change your mind

Capture your citadel

How could I change your mind

If I can't change myself

Try again tomorrow



Both of us want to win this fight

Both of us think the other is mistaken, so mistaken

Meanwhile, everyone wants to take up sides

So everyone helps us to fall apart

Just another fact of life

It's hard to play fair

And it's so easy to pretend to care

But if nobody wants to share the blame

Then everyone gets more of the same



If I want more peace in the world

Then I must make peace with myself

If I want more trust in the world

Then I've got to trust in myself

If I want more love in the world

I must show more love to myself
