The Declaration of Change
We declare that change is necessary for building
Better lives for all the adults and the children
We declare that it’s time to end our depression
We can work together to get out of the recession
Brand new time so it’s time for progression
It’s only right that we send the people a message
Tell them that the fallen youth is stepping up for redemption
Education is the weapon that will end the oppression
World peace, is that what you’re looking for?
Then show love across the world to the sick and poor
Don’t forget about little people as you open bigger doors
Oil ain’t a real cause to go to war
United we stand, divided we fall
All for one and we one for all
America, proud; we stand up tall
Change in a better direction, pass a couple laws
As we make bigger decisions from the white house
Change has come; “yes we can” is what I shout
Now we sit on the thrones of 50 states
Can’t tax those who have little to take
Build more homes and shelter for the homeless
Bring the soldiers home to the family that they miss
Reconstruct this land we call home
no matter the race, religion or skin tone
We declare that change is necessary for building
Better lives for all the adults and the children
We declare that its time to end our depression
We can work together to get out the recession
Brand new time so its time for progression
It’s only right that we send the people a message
Tell them that the fallen youth is stepping for redemption
Education is the weapon that will end the oppression
This is a message, the declaration of change
Coming out of the struggle because everything was the same
Now we got some hope, electing a minority
We need to stop hustling, undermining authority
We need to build affordable homes, get rid of poverty
Foreclosure of homes are affecting a majority
Plus the stock market is crashing
With the monetary and moral values of the masses
We also forget what being good people are
But if we work together we can get more people jobs
Stress on the brain leave folks feeling inferior
To expand we got to work from the interior
Most of our schools aren’t meeting the criteria
That’s why our faces are looking even wearier
We need to work together and stop all the shooting
We trying to save the world too, stop the pollution
I had a dream that someone like me
Stand tall, on his two feet
And making change, (yes we can)
And making change, (yes we can)
I had a dream that someone like me
Stand tall, on his two feet
And making change, (yes we can)
And making change, (yes we can)
How can we learn from mistakes and other life lessons
Fixing lives with abortion and the department of correction
Greed we have for the money chasing
It’s the time of your life that you’re only wasting
This is a deranged world gone insane
We keep doing the same expecting results to change
We’re changing faces in the same game
Make real change so the pain isn’t in vain
We need change because the days is getting worse
They need our all because too many are getting hurt
So join us out there and do better ya’ll
We’re trying to change the world for a better cause
What can you do to be a better citizen?
Change yourself to change the world that we living in
Can you join us in our struggle for a better life
and make this our way to have better rights
