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
