INTRO:
MLK:  This situation, can and will be changed
Malcolm X:  By any means necessary

Can you see?
It’s time to make a change
You better believe
It’s time to make a change

It’s time for rearranging
The seasons are no longer changing
And it’s time to stop all the make believe
And start paying attention to the buds that should be leaves
And the stars are no longer dancing in the sky
It’s time to open our eyes
Like the autumn leaves that fall from the trees
It’s time for us
It’s time for us to make a change

Can you see?
It’s time to make a change
You better believe
It’s time to make a change

World peace is not a mystery
Even if we practice
It still would be
It’s time for some old school history
Like the parting of the sea
That brought Pharaoh to his knees

If you look inside yourself
Tell me what you see
Is it the demons within thee?
Or the faith of a mustard seed
Like the message in Dr. Kings, I Have a Dream
It’s time for us
It’s time for us to make a change

Can you see?
Its power in the words you speak
It’s time to make a change
You better believe
So be careful with the words you preach
It’s time to make a change

CHORUS VAMP (REPEAT TO FADE OUT):
Hold on
Hold…on
It’s time for a change
It’s time for a change hold on

LEAD VAMP:
Take a look at yourself
You don’t need nobody else - hold on

Have faith in the mustard seed
Stand up for what you believe – hold on

Can you see – hold on

You gotta change your life
And start doing what you know is right – hold on

You better believe
It’s time to make a…

People you hang around
They’ll only bring you down – hold on

Can you see – hold on

Take a look at yourself…
Instead of everybody else – hold on
You gotta hold on
