The Ones (5:51)

I feel a change, it's true
I feel a change is coming for me & you
& though the path may be hard
it's a journey we must start
It must start in your Heart with Love
& the Faith we can rise above
& in our Souls with the Peace
We can be the change we want to see
We are the ones we've been waiting for
We are the ones we've been waiting for
No more judging by the color of our skin
we've learned true colors are found within
No more casualties of greed
every hungry mouth we'll feed
No more children fighting wars
shutdown the secret prisons of torture
No more invasions based on lies
bring our heroes home with their heads held high
I feel a change, it's true
I feel a change is coming for me & you
& though the path may be hard
it's a journey we must start
It must start in your Heart with Love
& the Faith we can rise above
& in our Souls with the Peace
We can be the change we want to see
We are the ones we've been waiting for
We are the ones we've been waiting for
No more mountaintops removed
we want it green & clean because oil is crude
No more frankenseeds or food shipped from overseas
Local Farms harvest security
No more leaders will we elect
who let a city drown in their neglect
No more payoffs on Wallstreet
No more layoffs on Mainstreet
No more foreclosing the American Dream
What began as a whisper
has now swelled into a chorus
that cannot be ignored
it will ring out across this land
as a hymn to heal this nation
and repair this world

CHORUS We are the ones we've been waiting for
I feel a change, it's true
I feel a change is coming for me & you
& though the path may be hard
(Let's get together & feel alright)
it's a journey we must start
(One Love)
It must start in your Heart with Love
(One Light)
& the Faith we can rise above
(Let's get together
& in our Souls with the Peace
& feel alright)
We can be the change we want to see
We are the ones we've been waiting for
We are the ones we've been waiting for
(Sing a round together
of One Love, One Light, Let's get together & feel alright)
[slowly]
I feel a change is coming for me & you
