I like to say my college is living in this town
Some days what seems hardest is simply sticking around
With so much to see, places that I've yet to be
And I like to say my colleague is the mother at the store
The man who serves me coffee and john who lives next door
We all study life, learning how to make things right
We wanna change the world, we wanna make you proud
But lately I've come to learn that it might start here and now
But sometimes I look too hard at the big things
When the best thing I can do is love you, love you
Josue tells me stories about his home down south
His mother can't cross the border but he's trying to get her out
And he names a price and turns so I won't see him cry

People make me hungry but people keep me sane
Josue taught me more than a professor could explain
About working hard and using what I have to do my part
Cause I wanna change the world, I wanna make you proud
But lately I've come to learn that it might start here and now
But sometimes I look too hard at the big things
When the best thing I can do is love you, love you
But how do I get to love? I'll start unselfishly
Can I hold out my hands? Do they even belong to me?
How do I get to love? I guess it starts inside of me
Cause sometimes I look too hard at the big things
When the best thing I can do is love you
