Will It Ever Change?

Ooo, when will it ever change?
 Ooo people, tell me when will it ever change?
 I can see bells of freedom
 I can't hear them ring
 I see this premonition
 Nearly happens every night
 I see this premonition
 It happens every day
 I can see it when they work
 I can tell by the things they say
 My sisters and my brothers
 On the streets all over town
 I can see people dyin'
 There's hatreds all around
 Ooo people, will it ever change?
 Sometimes I hear the bells of freedom
 But I never hear them ring
 Oh!
 Once I knew a man
 He'd fought for equality, yes he did ya'all
 He'd seen the Promised Land
 He freed now for my needs, oh yes he did
 I can see the bells of freedom
 Tell me why can't I hear them ring?
 Hear them ring, baby
 Let me tell ya'all
 This is what I read
 Come on in here
 Freedoms comin' in
 Liberty, equality, humanity
 Little love, never hurt nobody
 But we need liberty, there's no doubt about it
 People, when will it change?
 People, when will it change?
 We need love, I know we need love
 We don't need no more hatred
 Tell me when will it change?
 When will it change?
 People, could ya tell me when will it change?
 Somebody tell me now
 I want freedom
 I wanna hear those freedom bells ringin', yeah-oh
 Oh whoa, I wanna know
 Think you wanna know, too
 Take my hand
 Let me lead you to the Promised Land
 I think I can lead you to the Promised Land
 I know I can
 But I wanna know one thing, people
 I wanna know, when will it change?
 When will it change?
 Yeah
