GDEmDC
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
GDEmDC
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
GDEmD
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
C
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs
AmCA summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
CC
And a one man's soul

They follow each other on the wind ya' know

'Cause they got nowhere to go
G
That's why I want you to know
ChorusGGCD

If you wanna make the world a better place

VerseGDEmDC
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
GDEmD
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
C
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?
AmCA willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart

And a washed-out dream
AmC
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see

That's why I'm starting with me
