We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care,
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change
Catchy tune, but I feel differently than Mr. Mayer. Millions of people on this planet are tired of waiting and are working daily towards change. Unfortunately very few of these individuals are able to reach a mass audience, but they do have an impact on their small community. I recently watched an excellent short documentary on influential, creative people.
After the film I created a list of my own influences concentrating on two specific categories of people: personal relationships and celebrity figures. I discovered my personal influences were predominantly teachers while my famous list consisted of various types of artists (writers, actors, musicians, etc.)
Who are your influences?
