This is a sample of a track from the 2003 album “The Australian Dream”
I like the quote from Ghandi, “Be the change you want in the world” and I wrote this song to reflect that.
During recording the words changed a little from the original, the lyrics were:
The only one that I can change is me
Well 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
The 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
Only love can help me to recognize this mystery…
that the problems of the world will appear quite differently
If everyone changed themselves
like I’m changin’ me
Solo Sax
The only one that I can change is me
My view of myself is different from what others see
I delude, elude, then I try to construe
Myself, realistically
Cause truth lives in authenticity.
