When I was young I would look in the mirror
C/E F C
Didn't know it then but now it couldn't be clearer
C/E F C
That I remember being filled with such wonder
C/E F C
Before learning that the world could be harsher
C/E F C
Who you love or the color of your skin
C/E F C
Or the place that you were born and grew up in
C/E F C
Shouldn't decide how you will be treated
C/E F C
Cause we're all the same when everybody's breathing
C/E F C
Waiting for a change to set us free
C/E G C
Waiting for the day when you can be you and I can be me
C/E F C
Waiting for hope to come around
C/E G C
Waiting for the day when hate is lost and love is found
Am G/B C Am G/B C
Waiting for a change, waiting for a change
C/E F C C/E F C
Change, change
C/E F C
For all the brave and the souls who went before us
C/E F C
Stand tall, then proudly lift your voices
C/E F C
Let 'em know who we are and our choices
C/E F C
And one day we won't have to sing this chorus
C/E F C
Waiting for a change to set us free
C/E G C
Waiting for the day when you can be you and I can be me
C/E F C
Waiting for hope to come around
C/E G C
Waiting for the day when hate is lost and love is found
Am G/B C Am G/B C
Waiting for a change, waiting for a change
C/E F C C/E G C
Change, change

Waiting for a change, change, change
