Texty
They tried to kill my dream on a cold Chicago evening
They accused me and jailed mewhile my neighborhood was burning
My life has been a nightmare
But the dream I keep on livin'
And I'll be sittin', waiting for the change yet to come
They tried to hush my voice with whiskey, crack and cocaine
Knowing all the time that my loss would be their gain
No matter how hard I fight, always ends in vain
And I'm sittin', thinking for the change has yеt to come
Desegrеgation, integration, equal opportunity
Those words sound familiar but they have no meaning
Oh I wonder if they ever, ever become a reality
I won't stop dreaming' til it's all said and done
Life without freedom, is it really worth livin'
And social justice, I have to tell you, has no meaning
Real education yeah
Just a dream, just a dream
I'll be sittin', waiting
I'll be sittin', and waiting
I'll be sittin', waiting for the change to come
Oh I'll be waiting yeah, for the change to come
I'll be sittin' right here, waiting for the change to come
Oh I ain't goin' nowhere
Waiting for the change
Right here
Yeah
