Where does our need to hate come from?
It comes from a love for what is evil.
So change my heart.
Where does our lack of hope come from?
It stems from our hold on that which does not last.
So change my palms.
Change me again.
I want a lover to set me free.
You will know the truth and the truth will set you free (3x)
Where does all this deceit come in?
It starts in the places that are secret.
So expose my dark.
How does community move on?
Around one truth, around one leader.
So move us on around you.
I want a change
I want a lover
I want the truth to come and set me free
Wake me up to the injustices around me
I'm so tired of sitting here watching history fly by
