Yeah, I see the world spinning
People trippin' over lies
Politicians making promises
But they never realize
Kids in the streets, crying out for peace
Mothers losing sons
How does the violence ever cease
They say equality
But we still see the divide
In the colour of our skin
In the way we gotta fight
Broken dreams and shattered hopes
We gotta rise above
Speak the truth and spread the love
Can't you see the injustice
All around us
Hear the cries and the pleas
They surround us
Time to stand up
We want to re-arrange
We won't stay silent
It's time to change (time to change)
Locked up for the wrong reasons
Justice blind and deaf
Innocent behind bars
While the guilty get the rest
System rigged, they don't care
Just another statistic
Lives taken, dreams forsaken
The pain is realistic
We march in the streets
Voices raised high
For every name forgotten
For every silent cry
No more excuses
No more playing games
It's time for change
We ignite the flames
Can't you see the injustice
All around us
Hear the cries and the pleas
They surround us
Time to stand up
We want to re-arrange
We won't stay silent
It's time to change (time to change)
Can't you see the injustice
All around us
Hear the cries and the pleas
They surround us
Time to stand up
We want to re-arrange
We won't stay silent
It's time to change (time to change)
Hands up, don't shoot
It's the same old song
Tired of the headlines
Telling us we're wrong
Justice for the fallen
For the ones who can't speak
We rise together
United, no longer weak
Can't you see the injustice
All around us
Hear the cries and the pleas
They surround us
Time to stand up
We want to re-arrange
We won't stay silent
It's time to change (time to change)
It's time to change
Yeah it's time to change
