lyrics

When the sun falls and the night sets on the day
When all our worries are slept away
When the skies give way to the pouring rain
When the ground is soaked with eager possibilities
When the love is gone
And all you know is anger and hurt
When you canʼt stand to see him any more
When your cries turn to laughter
After what seemed disaster
Now you speak to me openly about it
When babies grow to men
And those men into murderers of dreams
When we cease to act like human beings
When we spend money on war and excess
But in schools children donʼt have the tools to be their best
When your neighbor takes a gun to his brother
He touched his daughter in such a way
That it stole her innocence
When itʼs Democrats against Republicans
Instead of right and wrong
When people hearing this understand this song
Things change
Chorus
When the sunrise peaks and whispers in the morning
A new day is dawning
When we begin to play
When the leaves fall from the trees
Giving way to a new season
The ground is covered in red and gold
When youʼre at the park playing ball and shots ring out
Maybe someone needed a hug instead of tough love
When your mother left that man
Because he beat you and your brother
Grandma said sheʼd be better off without him
When my people learn to read
Maybe we can achieve more than just a “Range”
When we can take aim
When a father learns to love his son the way he is
And not for what he wants him to be then we will see
When she gets out of the bed
And she gets it in her head
That God gave her the strength to make a miracle
When I let go of self-doubt
And I am simply the best that I can be
When I am just me things change
Chorus
Change is the birth of anew/ Change is growth
Change is abandoning old ways and even old values
Change is evolution
Change is resolution/ Change is revolution
Change is determination/ Change is happening now
Chorus
