lirik lagu ben sollee - only a song

i wouldn’t make a sound if i wasn’t
so angry

i wouldn’t be running if there wasn’t so far
to go

i wouldn’t keep on if there wasn’t something
worth keeping

i want to believe that
this mountain can be moved

but this is only a song…
it can’t change the world

i get a little scared when i’m driving through
the ghetto

there’s a part of me
that wants to hide;

there’s a part of me
that wants to move in. because even though

i grew up in the suburbs, i didn’t really grow
until i learned how so many others lived

but this is only a song…
it can’t change the world

i’m digging, digging deep
in myself

but who needs a shovel
when you have a little boy like mine?

this ain’t the world
that i want to give him;

people racing around in cars
and cities you can’t even walk across

this is only a song…
it can’t change the world

i’ve been thinking about providence-
and craving a root beer float

i didn’t make these rules, but it’s come time for us
to row this boat!

and on the horizon i see windmills
spouting up in rows

there’s young folks farming, and a few
that are going to vote

but this is only a song…
it can’t change the world

so why try?
why even sing at all?

i picture the harlem globetrotters dancing
like mosquitoes with a basketball

because there is beauty in freedom
and folks like me came over on boats

flew in on planes, crawled under fences
and fought wars, just to find a place

to be free

but this is only a song…
it can’t change the world

this is only a song…
it can’t change the world
