Ten Years After

Ten Years After is kind of a forgotten band from the late 60s. What a sad thought, to exist but not have anyone remember you.

I've heard, not sure if it's true or not, that their name came from the band being formed ten years after Elvis Presley became famous.

Like most everyone else, I've apparently forgotten most of their music except for one song.



I'd Love to Change the World.





The chorus of the song goes:



I'd love to change the world

But I don't know what to do

So I'll leave it up to you



Nothing sums up how I am feeling about the world today than this chorus. I'd love to make changes in the world but I have no idea what to do or possibly what I actually can do. So, I do nothing.

I'm leaving world changing up to you.



I thought I could buy a difference, but that didn't work out so well.



The song is great in itself and so 60ish, but the words 'I'd love to change the world' haunt me.



Some day, I will stand before God and will I have made any kind of difference in this world I live in?

Not enough of a difference, if any, and that hurts deep down inside.

Maybe god'll just say, "Thanks for not making everything worse than it already was."

I love this one! Shows your true heart! I believe God will show you something to do...perhaps you have already done it...that is very significant!
