I could fight the sickness
I could battle for health
I could give to the poor
I could distribute my wealth

I could bring happiness
I could lessen the sad
I could highlight the good
I could diminsh the bad

If I knew to take the chance
To make the world a better place
I couldve been a leader
Others, following my pace

The chance was then
My desicion is now
All you need to lend a hand
Is to find out how

Take the moment
While you can
A day faster
A day more for man
