[Goapele - Change It All lyrics]
They're closing all the schools down
Some teachers work for free now
And libraries won't be found
'Cause there's not enough
Can you see a change in your town?
Small business closed, it's cold without
I'm trying to sort it out
What we're giving up
Basically, there are people left out
From living comfortably, can we figure it out?
I've been waiting restlessly
For the words to a song that could
Change it all
Change it all
Change it all
I never found a 9 to 5
That was worth it from my soul 'til I
I pursued what brought joy in my life
And there's something for us all
And I still think it is my right
And it's the last and one of few
To get the luxury of learning
Something I could use
Oh, oh
Basically, there are people left out
From living comfortably, can we figure it out?
I've been waiting restlessly
For the words to a song that could
Change it all
Change it all
(If the words could change it all)
Change it all
(Change it all)
So many laws are changing
They say it's the price for war
We said no but he spent billions
It's hard to believe that years ago people died to vote
But history feels so far away
(History feels so far away)
We're not fighting for our lives anymore
(You're not fighting for my life anymore)
It's hard to know what's really worth fighting for
When we're still killing and dying on the streets
Oh, oh
Basically, there are people left out
(People left out)
From living comfortably, can we figure it out?
I've been waiting restlessly
For the words to a song that could
Change it all, oh
Basically, there's enough for us all
(Enough for us all)
So why can't we somehow figure it out?
I've been waiting restlessly
For the words to a song that could
Change it all
Change it all
(If the words could change it all)
Change it all
Change it all
Change it all
If a song could change it all
What if we could change it all
Some teachers work for free now
And libraries won't be found
'Cause there's not enough
Can you see a change in your town?
Small business closed, it's cold without
I'm trying to sort it out
What we're giving up
Basically, there are people left out
From living comfortably, can we figure it out?
I've been waiting restlessly
For the words to a song that could
Change it all
Change it all
Change it all
I never found a 9 to 5
That was worth it from my soul 'til I
I pursued what brought joy in my life
And there's something for us all
And I still think it is my right
And it's the last and one of few
To get the luxury of learning
Something I could use
Oh, oh
Basically, there are people left out
From living comfortably, can we figure it out?
I've been waiting restlessly
For the words to a song that could
Change it all
Change it all
(If the words could change it all)
Change it all
(Change it all)
So many laws are changing
They say it's the price for war
We said no but he spent billions
It's hard to believe that years ago people died to vote
But history feels so far away
(History feels so far away)
We're not fighting for our lives anymore
(You're not fighting for my life anymore)
It's hard to know what's really worth fighting for
When we're still killing and dying on the streets
Oh, oh
Basically, there are people left out
(People left out)
From living comfortably, can we figure it out?
I've been waiting restlessly
For the words to a song that could
Change it all, oh
Basically, there's enough for us all
(Enough for us all)
So why can't we somehow figure it out?
I've been waiting restlessly
For the words to a song that could
Change it all
Change it all
(If the words could change it all)
Change it all
Change it all
Change it all
If a song could change it all
What if we could change it all
