Right Now

Let me show you how my heart aches
Let me walk you through the corridor
Of heart break
From a world that’s fallen and twisted
But you could make it change
With you calling and gifting
Wished that I could go back
Wipe away my blindness and ignorance
And speak to myself
Through the wickedness
Cos if I would of caught
This revelation more early
The impact of many more lives
Could be different
Ashamed of the resume iv
Worn as a badge
I’m awake to the fact
We’ve gone to war for the cash
Man I’m tired of seein kids
Bein raised by their Nana
Cos mum’s gettin wired
And dad’s gettin bladdered
Tired of seein mums gettin left
To play the father’s role
Passin off the kids into care
That they can’t control
Patterns gotta change
The cycle’s gotta die
I do this for the generation
Fightin to survive
Livin in a broken world
Where everything falls apart
Seems like everything stops
Before it even gets a chance to start
Man I wanna see change right now right now
I wanna see change right now right now
Some people say it’s gonna stay the same
But you could be the change
Right now right now
Heart and soul givin nothing less
Sold out for the cause now
I’m givin it my all til there’s nothing left
I put my all in til I’m all out
Heart and soul givin nothing less
Sold out for the cause now
I’m givin it my all til there’s nothing left
I put my all in til I’m all out
I see a homeless man layin on the corner
Beggin for some change and
Prayin he’d get warmer
A young thug on the streets
Shottin the white
The ladies behind the station
Who sell their bodies at night
The single mum whose life just gets harder
I see a little man growin up with no father
The alcoholic who been beatin his wife and a
Crackhead twitching coz
Hes feindin the pipe
Needin the light
Them man that who be locked up in that prison
Yet I’ll go back to that same block
Cookin rocks up in that kitchen
And the kids need some food
Runnin wild round them streets
Thinkin when will it change
Got me prayin down on my knees oh Lord
Filling up hate the thought of dyin
Feeing l like I never did enough
I ain’t givin up
Patterns gotta change
Cycles gotta die I do this
For a generation fightin to survive
Livin in a broken world
Where everything falls apart
Seems like everything stops
Before it even gets a chance to start
Man I wanna see change right now
Right now I wanna see change
Right now right now
Some people say it’s gonna stay the same
But you could be the change
Right now right now
Heart and soul givin nothing less
Sold out for the cause now
I’m givin it my all til there’s nothing left
I put my all in til I’m all out
Heart and soul givin nothing less
Sold out for the cause now
I’m givin it my all til there’s
