Let me ask you a question   Tell me no lies   My friends you see   Are your alibis   Now tell me   Do you ever think   Of the life that you live   When you live it   Do you really give it   All you can give   I ask you this   Because the time is so near   No woman no cry   No living in fear   Lift up your head   Now you must stand tall   'Less you won't be around   To see Babylon fall      Pre-Chorus   All we really wanna see   The time for change has got to be   All we really wanna see   The time for change has got to be   All we really wanna see   The time for change has got to be   All we really wanna see   The time for change has got to be   Now!      I can see that it's time   In our lives to change things   Never been so clear as it is today      Good people now hear this   You got to show love   Please stop all the violence   The push and the shove   All we really wanna see   Is peace in our days   Freeing the people   Of their evil ways   I don't want to live a life   Of constant struggle   Still people everyday   Are in a state of trouble   Let us enjoy the life   That we have been given   Avoid all the strife    If we keep on living      Pre-chorus      I can see that it's time   In our lives to change things   Never been so clear as it is today   And if this time I am right   Soon the world will be changing   As one nation   We'll see a brighter day      Buildings are burning   Pages are turning   Yet nobody really wants to deal with it   The graveyards are filling   Because of the killing   Yet nobody really wants to deal with it   There's drugs in the cornfield   And blood on the windshield   Yet nobody really wants to deal with it   We're losing the best   With one shot to the chest   And nobody really wants to deal with it      I can see that it's time   In our lives to change things   Never been so clear as it is today   And if this time I am right   Soon the world will be changing   As one nation   We'll see a brighter day
