Theatrical Muse - 184 Change

Curt: We set out to change the world and ending up... just changing ourselves.
Arthur: What's wrong with that?
Curt: Nothing!... If you don't look at the world.
(Todd Haynes, Velvet Goldmine)


Typical human, that is.

I heard one of your scientists singing about this just the other day. Don’t know if the politicians heard him, though.

Only have our eyes to see with,
Only have our songs to sing,
Only have our minds to think with
And that’s quite another thing.

How you see our world depends on
How you feel the things you see,
Changing that can change your world
(That’s one reason they call me.)

Only have one heart to love with
Only have one life to spend,
Only have a single lifetime,
Choose a path or choose a friend

Only have our minds to think with,
How you feel will shape your choice
Only have a few songs fitting.
Only have a single voice,

Only have one world to live in
Lose or save it, as you will,
Choose your path and live your choices,
Save your world or use it ill.

Only have one world to live in,
Humans have a single fate,
Change yourselves to save your future,
(Better pray it ain’t too late.)
