In the evenings I try to change and save the world from my armchair

In the evenings I try to change and save the world 

    From my armchair. 

I call up a random bloke and tell him 

    That he's a likeable person, and that 

        The world needs him and wants him - something he's never been told. 

He is surprised 

    And does not know how to react, 

But I can see that he is grateful. 

    His voice falters (thinking to himself, "So it is not Every man for himself, after all") 

        As he says thank you 

This is not exactly who I am, 

    But who I want to be, telling people that they are worth it all.

By the evening of this journey to the next world, 

    As we walk 

        Heavenwards, encoraging each other forwards

In the evenings I try to change and save the world 

    From my armchair. 

At times, 

    The littlest things 

        Are the most glorious
