You tried hard enough to change the world
You tried hard to send a message to the world with all your songs
You were an activist
The kind that the world needed
I don't think that the world was ready for you
But you worked hard
to send the message anyway
Because you believed deep in your heart that it would do
The world had been falling apart for sometime
You kept working hard to bring the world closer
You first attenpt had failed
So you kept on trying
And you did
You were persistent
And in your mind you thought that you would achieve it somehow
You knew that peace
Was what the world needed
You worked towards peace
You wanted so badly to make peace with the world and the people
People misunderstood you
26 years later all the messages that was written in all the songs
You had composed lives on forever
