Oh, it's hard, I know it's hard To be the right inside the wrong Hold on tight, we'll be alright You know it's time Oh, here comes the change Oh, we're comin' of age This is not a phase Here comes, here comes the change Hope there'll come a time when we (time when we) We can live and die free (and die free) I hope and pray there'll come the day And it's comin' soon Here comes the change We're coming of age This is not a phase Here comes, here comes Here comes the change Oh, we're comin' of age This is not a phase Oh, here comes, and here comes the change It's time to change We are the change Oh, here comes the change
