I don't know why things take so long to change,
for so long we've waited for the walls to come down.
How many tears must fall on grieving eyes,
how many people must die.
You hold your breath waiting in pain,
I don't know why these things take so long to change.
When will we see some real change.
The mistakes that are made are never corrected,
howmany hearts will burst and die in anger,
can't you hear the voices the hollers & screams,
if you see it coming I hope you know what to do,
'cause I'm gonna be ready I hope you're ready too,
for the change.
How many tears must fall from grieving eyes,
how many people must die,
you hold our breath waiting in pain,
I don't know why these things take so long to change.
