Waiting On The World To Change (featuring Ben Harper)
- me and all my friends
- we're all misunderstood
- they say we stand for nothing and
- there's no way we ever could
-
- now we see everything that's going wrong
- with the world and those who lead it
- we just feel like we don't have the means
- to rise above and beat it
-
- so we keep waiting
- waiting on the world to change
- we keep on waiting
- waiting on the world to change
-
- it's hard to beat the system
- when we're standing at a distance
- so we keep waiting
- waiting on the world to change
-
- now if we had the power
- to bring our neighbors home from war
- they would have never missed a Christmas
- no more ribbons on their door
-
- and when you trust your television
- what you get is what you got
- cause when they own the information, oh
- they can bend it all they want
-
- that's why we're waiting
- waiting on the world to change
- we keep on waiting
- waiting on the world to change
-
- it's not that we don't care,
- we just know that the fight ain't fair
- so we keep on waiting
- waiting on the world to change
-
- and we're still waiting
- waiting on the world to change
- we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
-
- one day our generation
- is gonna rule the population
- so we keep on waiting
- waiting on the world to change
-
- we keep on waiting
- waiting on the world to change
Belief
- Is there anyone who
- Ever remembers
- Changin their mind from
- The paint on a sign
- Is there anyone who
- Really recalls
- Ever break your rank at all
- For something someone yelled
- Real loud one time
-
- Oh everyone believes
- In how they think it oughta be
- Oh everyone believes
- And they're not goin easily
-
- Belief is a beautiful armor
- That makes for the heaviest sword
-
- Like punchin underwater
- You never can hit who you're trying for
- Some need the exhibiton
- Some have to know they tried
- It's the chemical weapon
- For the war that's ragin on inside
-
- Oh everyone believes
- From emptyness to everything
-
- Oh everyone believes
- And no ones goin quietly
-
- We're never gonna win the world
- We're never gonna stop the war
- We're never gonna beat this if belief
- Is what we're fightin for
-
- We're never gonna win the world
- We're never gonna stop the war
-
- We're never gonna beat this if belief
- Is what we're fightin for
-
- Is there anyone
- You can ever remember
- Who ever surrendered
- With their life on the line
-
- We're never gonna win the world
- We're never gonna stop the war
-
- We're never gonna beat this if belief
- Is what we're fightin for
-
- We're never gonna win the world
- We're never gonna stop the war
- We're never gonna beat this if belief
- Is what we're fightin for
-
- What takes a hundred thousand
- Children in the sand
-
- Belief can, belief can
-
- What puts the folded flag
- Inside his mothers hand
- Belief can, belief can
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
- It's not a silly little moment
- It's not the storm before the calm
- This is the deep and dyin breath of
- this love we've been workin on

In Repair
- Too many shadows in my room
- too many hours in this midnight
- too many corners in my mind
- so much to do to set my heart right
-
- Oh its taking to long
- i could be wrong
-
- i could be ready
- Oh but if I take my heart's advice
- I should assume, it's still unsteady
-
- I am in repair
- I am in repair
-
- Stood on the corner for awhile
- To wait for the wind to blow down on me
- Hope that it takes with it my old ways
-
- And brings a brand new life upon me
-
- Oh its taking to long
- i could be wrong
- i could be ready
- Oh but if I take my heart's advice
- I should assume, it's still unsteady
-
- I am in repair
- I am in repair
-
- Ohhhh
-
- Now i'm walking in the park
- all of the birds they dance below me
- maybe when things turn green again
- it will be good to say you know me
-
- Oh its taking to long
- i could be wrong
-
- i could be ready
- Oh but if I take my heart's advice
- I should assume, it's still unready
- never really ready
- I'm never really ready
-
- I'm in repair
- Im not together
- but im getting there
-
- I'm in repair
- Im not together
- but im getting there
-
- I'm in repair
- Im not together
- but im getting there
