Lyrics
0:20How did we get here
0:25What does it mean
0:30Everyone's hiding
0:34And no one can breathe
0:38While they search for the person
0:43Whose head hands in shame
0:48Who opened the test tube
0:52That holds all the blame
0:56But the shame of it all
1:00Is that he doesn't exist so tell me
1:06Why does it feel like
1:10There is something we've missed
1:15We're caught in a crossfire
1:19Between fiction and facts
1:24They claim we've moved forward
1:28When we've only gone back
1:32Locked down and forgotten
1:37We're all dazed and confused
1:41As if life is a game you can play
1:48But you know you're gonna lose
1:55Is this all that there is
1:59Do we know y'all how to live
2:03Is our freedom worth the price
2:08Of countless deaths countless lives
2:15A people in union
2:18Are not a people in chains
2:23They are finding their voices
2:28By using their brains
2:31But do people of color
2:36Just get used and abused
2:40So that people in power
2:45Are still able to choose
2:49And why does money and violence
2:54Create hunger and greed
2:59And this human condition
3:03Require so much need
3:07Tell me where are we going
3:12Oh where are we bound
3:18Have we really learned nothing
3:21Thrown out all of the gifts
3:26That we've found
3:30Can we change find the source
3:35Rediscover all we've lost
3:39Pull back fast lest we sink
3:44Arrest this fall into the brink
3:50A change must come
3:55A change must come
3:59A change must come
4:04A change must come
4:08A change must come
4:13A change must come
4:17A change must come
4:22A change must come
4:26A change must come
4:31A change must come
4:36A change must come
4:40A change must come
4:45A change must come
4:49A change must come
How did we get here What does it mean Everyone's hiding And no one can breathe While they search for the person Whose head hands in shame Who opened the test tube That holds all the blame But the shame of it all Is that he doesn't exist so tell me Why does it feel like There is something we've missed We're caught in a crossfire Between fiction and facts They claim we've moved forward When we've only gone back Locked down and forgotten We're all dazed and confused As if life is a game you can play But you know you're gonna lose Is this all that there is Do we know y'all how to live Is our freedom worth the price Of countless deaths countless lives A people in union Are not a people in chains They are finding their voices By using their brains But do people of color Just get used and abused So that people in power Are still able to choose And why does money and violence Create hunger and greed And this human condition Require so much need Tell me where are we going Oh where are we bound Have we really learned nothing Thrown out all of the gifts That we've found Can we change find the source Rediscover all we've lost Pull back fast lest we sink Arrest this fall into the brink A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come A change must come
