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
