There’s a change

There’s a change. There’s a change.
There’s a change on the way.
People are troubled they’re starting to say:
There’s a change. There’s a change.
There’s a change on the way.
Evolving times, the options vast
for the rich the die is cast.
Profits first and people last
is an idea whose time has past.
There’s a change. There’s a change.
There’s a change on the way.
We’re going to learn to share and then,
we will learn to care again;
don’t know how, don’t know when
but we’re all coming home again.
There’s a change. There’s a change.
There’s a change on the way.
Humanity will take its place,
we’ll rejoin the human race-
somehow softer with ease and grace-
and dignity will set the pace.
There’s a change. There’s a change.
There’s a change on the way.
No razor wire and cells on fire,
inordinate wealth and self desire,
humanity will alone inspire
as we struggle for justice, we will not tire.
There’s a change. There’s a change.
There’s a change on the way.
People are smiling they’re starting to say:
There’s a change. There’s a change
get out of the way.
There’s a change. There’s a change
that’s going to stay.
