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
