Black 47 - Change Lyrics
I remember you back in 1992When they were putting us downTrying to tramp us into the groundYou exploded like a flame in the nightWith a righteous indignationTold us "everything gonna be alright"Change come slowly like the oceanBut it keep on comin' nonethelessTake my hand, oh dear companion,We may not find happinessBut peace and then some real contentmentAnd a measure of social justiceOh change come slowly like the oceanBut they can't stop the tideAnd they're never ever goin' to stop usThey've got the bullets and the gunsAnd the propaganda machineAll we ever had was an impossible dreamYou stood tall as steel in the flaming nightSaid "let us have no fearThe victors will be those who can the most endureSally came to me with flames in her eyesAnd her long hair blowin' in the breezeShe said "dry up your tears, boy, we've been down too longIt's time we were up off our knees"Oh the stars in the heavens are blazin' tonightThe moon she is glidin' on highAnd the drum roll of liberty beats in my heartAs the warm winds of change blow byDon't ask me to be a slave anymoreI couldn't be if I triedFor the pipes scream an anthem of hope in my heartAs the warm winds of change blow byShe moved like a ghost through the enemy linesBut her laugh was defiant and clearShe kissed me hard on the mouth and said "goodbye,I'll love you forever, my dear"
