You promised
We believed you
The water's getting high
My God I
Your God you
Why must we choose and die
Yeah, yeah
Why must we choose and die
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from

Deep pockets
Bodies piled high
How can you sleep at night
My God I
Your God you
Why must we choose and die
Yeah, yeah
Why must we choose and die
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from

Make no move
It's dark
It's true
If you can
It's time
You do

We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We are, we are
We're waiting for a change
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
It's been too long
If it's comin'
I wanna know where the change is coming from
We are, we are
We're waiting for a change
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
We keep hearin' that a change is gonna come
