Although this song was released in August, 2006 never has it’s lyrics rung more true. So for anyone facing uncertain times or just a bit dissatisfied by the state of the world give the lyrics a read and more importantly listen to the song. The song, by John Mayer, popped into my shuffled selection of music this morning and (having half forgotten about it) was genuinely quite moved by it, so much so I thought I would share it with you all.
Have a good day and don’t forget to follow me on Twitter!
Waiting on the World to Change – John Mayer
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
this has made my month, just the song I needed to give me the lift to get me through the day. thank you James
Your mode of telling everything in this piece of writing is in fact good, all be capable of without difficulty understand it, Thanks a lot.
Waiting on the world change is good enough. Just like the song “Wake me up when September ends”. But I’m prefer the song “your body is wonderland”.
love this song and love that feeling of rediscovering a song and allowing all the first found emotions to flood back to you
so so true
