It also asks for the "courage to change the things I can" in line two.

That's where this lady is at, as am I. Hopefully enough people will coalesce, get moving, and vote when it counts.

Give me the power to the change the things I can change

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

Wikiquotes is unable to find a definitive attribution. It may be older than Davis.

All the same, excellent statement of intent regardless of who originated it.

The conservative woman adapts herself to the world; the nasty woman persists in trying to adapt the world to herself. Therefore all progress depends on the nasty woman.
