Change

When I was young, I would look in the mirror

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

I remember bein' filled with such wonder

Before learnin' that the world can be harsher

Who you love or the color of your skin

Or the place that you were born and grew up in

Shouldn't decide how you will be treated

'Cause we're all the same when everybody's breathin'

Waitin' for a change to set us free

Waitin' for the day when you can be you and I can be me

Waitin' for hope to come around

Waitin' for the day when hate is lost and love is found

Waitin' for a change

Waitin' for a change

Change, change

For all the brave and the souls who went before us

Stand tall, then proudly lift your voices

Let 'em know who we are and our choices

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

Waitin' for a change to set us free

Waitin' for the day when you can be you and I can be me

Waitin' for hope to come around

Waitin' for the day when hate is lost and love is found

Waitin' for a change

Waitin' for a change

Change, change, hold on

Waitin' for a change

Change

When I was young, I would look in the mirror

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