Change
[Verse 1]When I was young I would look in the mirrorDidn't know it then but now it couldn't be clearerI remember being filled with such wonderBefore learning that the world can be harsher
Who you love or the color of your skinOr the place you were born and grew up inShouldn't decide how you will be treated'Cause we're all the same when everybody's breathing
[Chorus]Waiting for a change to set us freeWaiting for the day when you can be you and I can be meWaiting for hope to come aroundWaiting for the day when hate is lost and love is foundWaiting for a change, waiting for a changeChange, change
[Verse 2]For all the brave and the souls who went before usStand tall, be proud and lift your voicesLet 'em know who we are and our choicesAnd one day we won't have to sing this chorus
[Chorus]Waiting for a change to set us freeWaiting for the day when you can be you and I can be meWaiting for hope to come aroundWaiting for the day when hate is lost and love is foundWaiting for a change, waiting for a changeChange, changeChange, oh, change, ohWaiting for a change, change, change
When I was young I would look in the mirrorDidn't see it then but now it couldn't be clearer
