| | Recently I downloaded the new John Mayer album Continuum.
Haven't listed to it too much yet, but I have caught the first track a
few times. It's entitled Waiting on the World to Change. Here are the
lyrics:
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
Perhaps
it's a bit cynical, but I think there are plenty of people that
resonate with it's theme. There are so many things they want to change
in this world, but they feel they have no power to make it happen.
There are times even I have that feeling.
The question I want
to pose is this. What is it that you are waiting to change? And what do
you perceive to be holding you back?
OR if you've stepped out there to pursue change now, what change(s) are you hoping to realize? |
