It’s time for change Chorus Everybody around the world! It’s time for change! (4 times) Every boy and every girl! It’s time for change! (4 times) From New York to Chicago Philly to the West Coast, It’s time for change! (4 times) From Baltimore to LA, Down to Atlanta GA, It’s time for change! (4 times) Verse 1 I look around! Sometimes it’s like we’re trapped in a wilderness, Hoping that this pain will end. The violence, the hatred, the drugs, in our community, Hoping for peace, and to be set free. Why do they sell drugs, and become thugs? Why do they end up in jail, and don’t know God’s love? Why don’t they understand, that God has a plan, To get us out the wilderness into the promised land? Chorus 2 Everybody around the world! It’s time for change (4 times) Every boy and every girl! It’s time for change (4 times) Miami to Dallas, From New Jersey to Cali, It’s time for change (4 times) From New Orleans to DC, Detroit, can you feel me? It’s time for change (4 times) Verse 2 Now in the wilderness, I hear a voice cry Prepare a way for the Lord God most high ‘cause the glory of the Lord shall be revealed And we shall see it all because it’s God’s will But let us hold on even when it’s rough, ‘cause you can even get weary, even if you’re young, But the Lord shall renew their strength. That shall run and walk and not get faint. Chorus 3 Everyone around the world! It’s time for change! (4 times) Every boy and every girl It’s time for change! (4 times) From New York to Chicago, Philly to the West coast, It’s time for change! (4 times) Honolulu to Nebraska, St. Lou Lou to Alaska, It’s time for change! (4 times) Bridge This is an invitation across the nation: Nashville, Louisville, Seattle to Jacksonville. This is an invitation across the nation. It’s time for change (3 times) Verse 3 We see all of the wrong running through communities, But we must say I can’t let it ruin me. Let’s start a revolution, let’s start a unity’ And let’s move forward no matter what they do to me. We see crack cocaine destroy the brain. We see it divide families, and cause more pain. We can’t place the blame, but make a change By praying to the Lord in Jesus’ name.
