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 your move
It's time
It's true
Yes 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
