Change lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I was young I would look in the mirror

Didn't know it then but now it couldn't be clearer

I remember being filled with such wonder

Before learning that the world can be harsher

Who you love or the color of your skin

Or the place you were born and grew up in

Shouldn'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 free

Waiting for the day when you can be you and I can be me

Waiting for hope to come around

Waiting for the day when hate is lost and love is found

Waiting for a change, waiting for a change

Change, change

[Verse 2]

For all the brave and the souls who went before us

Stand tall, be proud and lift your voices

Let 'em know who we are and our choices

And one day we won't have to sing this chorus

[Chorus]

Waiting for a change to set us free

Waiting for the day when you can be you and I can be me

Waiting for hope to come around

Waiting for the day when hate is lost and love is found

Waiting for a change, waiting for a change

Change, change

Change, oh, change, oh

Waiting for a change, change, change

When I was young I would look in the mirror

Didn't see it then but now it couldn't be clearer
