"The Change" is a song written by Tony Arata and Wayne Tester, and recorded by American country music artist Garth Brooks. It was released in March 1996 as the fourth single from the album Fresh Horses. The song reached number 19 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[1]
The song describes someone making an effort to fix the world, even though people keep telling them that they'll "never change things", and that their effort will not make the world a significantly better place. He describes his action as being "like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss". Ultimately, the singer concludes that even if he fails to change the world, the world "will not change me".
