Yesterday I was clever
Thought I could change the world
With dreams so big and bright
I wanted to make it swirl
I saw the flaws around me
Thought I had the key
But in my rush to fix it all
I forgot to look at me
Now today I am wise
I see it clear as day
The change I seek in others
Starts within my way
Ill turn the mirror inward
Where truth and courage dwell
Yesterday I was clever
But today I change myself
The world was a canvas
I wanted to paint it new
But every stroke I made
Was colored by my view
I saw the darkness outside
But missed the shadows near
Now I know the light I need
Begins with facing fear
Now today I am wise
I see it clear as day
The change I seek in others
Starts within my way
Ill turn the mirror inward
Where truth and courage dwell
Yesterday I was clever
But today I change myself
The world cant be rewritten
Until we rewrite our hearts
We must begin with whats within
Thats where the journey starts
Now today I am wise
I see it clear as day
The change I seek in others
Starts within my way
Ill turn the mirror inward
Where truth and courage dwell
Yesterday I was clever
But today I change myself
Yesterday I dreamed too fast
Today I take the first step at last
The world will change its true and real
But first I change the way I feel
