I am fond of this write and would love to find a collaborator. I'm not great at describing how I imagine music for my lyrics, but I am thinking something in the vein of Simon and Garfunkel.
If I Could Change the World
Some people live in a fortress
To keep the enemy out
Behind their walls off empty halls
The silence of loneliness falls
Some people live for tomorrow
Always looking ahead
Dreams shaped yesterday crumble away
As the sands of time bury today
Chorus
If I could change the world
I would make new rules
Where tears only fall from laughter
A heart can bleed but not break
And everyone gives
Just a little bit more than they take
Some people dwell in their heartache
Feelings they understand
Afraid to let go from sorrow they know
So they can move forward and grow
Some people live in the background
Safe behind the scenes
Their own point of light lost out of sight
Behind stars that brighten the night
Chorus
If I could change the world
I would make new rules
Where tears only fall from laughter
A heart can bleed but not break
And everyone gives
Just a little bit more than they take
If I could change the world
I would make new rules
Where, love truly conquers all
And time can heal all wounds
Dreams always come true
And life doesn't end so soon
Where tears only fall from laughter
A heart can bleed but not break
And everyone gives
Just a little bit more than they take
If I could change the world
I would make new rules
If I could change the world
If I could change the world

Wow. Great words here. I reckon we could all use some of this at the moment, right?
I absolutely get what you mean by Simon & Garfunkel here. Something solt and lilting, with all those wonderful harmonies they are so good it. It would be a fantastic way to bring these wonderful words to life...

What a world that would be. I like the "some people.." structure of the verses. The device really gives this shape and sets up the chorus to tie all the people together. #tit4tat
