Sudden Change
/A topical/protest song lyric, envisioned as a “power ballad” style piece
————
Verse 1: They say change comes
To those who wait
Some’s waited far too long
People living lives held down by chains
The time’s long past
To make things right
Correct what we know’s wrong
And we’ve no luxury to count on fate
Chorus: Sudden change is what we need
A revolution we should lead
What’s just and what is good
We must arrange
Let’s bring on sudden change
Starting now, today
Make things how they should be
Together, you and me
A sudden change
Verse 2: They say justice
Delayed’s denied
We know that this is true
Decades of inaction cast their pall
The time’s long past
For us to act
Turn darkness into light
Achieve equality for one and all
Chorus: Sudden change is what we need
A revolution we should lead
What’s just and what is good
We must arrange
Let’s bring on sudden change
Starting now, today
Make things how they should be
Together, you and me
With sudden change
Bridge: In our hands we’ve the power
To change the whole, wide world
Let this be our vow:
To bring change here and now
Chorus: Sudden change is what we need
A revolution we should lead
What’s just and what is good
Ours to arrange
Let’s bring on sudden change
Right here, right now, today
Make things how they should be
Together, you and me
Let’s make a change
Tag: Let’s bring about
What’s needed:
Sudden change
