We’re rolling in the mud
We say we stand for something
But then just wait here for the flood
Now we see everything that’s going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
So we fool around until They come
To punish and to beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Debating how the world can change
It’s hard to build a city
When we have no hope or pity
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now it’s time to seek the power
To convince the doubting souls
And God, I know you’ve got it
On the pages of your scrolls
So if you hear my crying
You’ll know the settled thought
They say the plan is crazy, oh
But it may be all you’ve got
And so I’m waiting
Waiting for the world to change
Yeah, contemplating
Relating how the world can change
An angel says it’s all or nothin’
But then we skirt the talk of trustin’
So no more waiting
Waiting on the world to change
But they keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We all keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It’s time our generation
Tried out a new consideration
Do away with all the grievin’
‘Cause now there’s something to believe in
So goodbye waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Let’s not keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
