"Thanks to J Mayer for the inspiration." John
I heard a young man singing about waiting for a change
Just a-sitting on the sidelines, hoping things get re-arranged
I can understand the feeling, being doubtful, feeling gray
But there’s a reason youth is restless and that’s all I got to say

It was over 50 years go Ms. Rosa climbed the bus
She decided there and then that day that she'd had enough
Well, it's a free country, you can say what you say
But, if she'd been waiting she'd be standing to-, standing to-, standing today

Now is the time
This is the place
If you don't stand will there be anybody?

Raise up your hands
Stand face-to-face
Don’t waste the chance that you’ve been waiting for
Change

For every minute, it’s not how you spin it
You’re either in it or you’re looking on
Whatever you make it, it’s yours for the taking
You got to be strong

There's never been a fair fight and there’s never gonna be
Those getting busy now are going to write our history
Those who wait for change gonna go to their grave
Just a singing the same old song 'bout waiting for, waiting for, waiting for change

Now is the time
This is the place
If you don't stand will there be anybody?

Raise up your hands
Stand face-to-face
Don’t waste the chance that you’ve been waiting for
Change
