Written many years ago, this is the rock n' roll version!

lyrics
Mm the only one that I can change is me
as soon as I do I'm gonna really be free,
cause I may want to change the world
but that's too big a job for me
so the only one that I can change is me
only one that I can change is me
well it'll help if I understand what's wrong with me so I won't criticize from a distance
I'll just look in a mirror and see
That the only one that I can change is me
The only one that I can change is me
Jesus help me to recognize this mystery
That the problems of the world will appear quite differently
If everyone changed themselves internally
INSTRUMENTAL
So the only one that I can change is me
my view of myself is diff'rent from what others see
well I delude, then I elude, until I I see realistically
that truth is found in authenticity
as soon as I do I'm gonna really be free,
cause I may want to change the world
but that's too big a job for me
so the only one that I can change is me
only one that I can change is me
well it'll help if I understand what's wrong with me so I won't criticize from a distance
I'll just look in a mirror and see
That the only one that I can change is me
The only one that I can change is me
Jesus help me to recognize this mystery
That the problems of the world will appear quite differently
If everyone changed themselves internally
INSTRUMENTAL
So the only one that I can change is me
my view of myself is diff'rent from what others see
well I delude, then I elude, until I I see realistically
that truth is found in authenticity
