Change (Acapella)

Send some relief
From all this grief

From the stress, from the pressure
From the pain, we need a change
Starting today
From the strain, from the storm
From the rain, we need a change
We need a sunny day
We need a new day, we need a new way
We need a change, hope for a better day
Give us some light, give us some light
Get rid of the dark nights
Make it alright

He gets up at five in the morning, get ready for work
Still never complains
He does it six days a week with hardly much sleep
Just to stay on his feet
Working in overtime, bills don't get paid on time
Brown bag his lunch sometimes
Saving nickels and dimes
He gets down on his knees and to God he speaks
Can't you see, its making me weak

From the stress, from the pressure
From the pain, we need a change
Starting today
From the strain, from the storm
From the rain, we need a change
We need a sunny day
We need a new day, we need a new way
We need a change, hope for a better day
Give us some light, give us some light
Get rid of the dark nights
Make it alright

Women prostituting themselves
'Cause they really can't do nothing else, they think
Some say they have babies without daddies
That barely gets fed sometimes
Then there are those who can't do better
Getting by on that government dime
Thinking things will get better
But with tears in their eyes
They look to the sky and they cry

Have some mercy on us
(Help us, help us)
In you we put our trust
(Bless us, bless us)
We're on our knees begging you please to help us
Sometimes it seems the hurt we feel is endless
(Never stopping)
When they hurt I hurt too
(Can you hear me, yeah)
So I'm coming to you
Make strong the weak, heal the sick and tired
(I'm begging, I'm begging)
Lift up the fallen, take them out of this quagmire
(Again and again)
Hear them calling on you
Like you said we should do

From the stress, from the pressure
From the pain, we need a change
Starting today
From the strain, from the storm
From the rain, we need a change
We need a sunny day
We need a new day, we need a new way
We need a change, hope for a better day
Give us some light, give us some light
Get rid of the dark nights
Make it alright

Have some mercy on us
(Help us, help us)
In you we put our trust
(Bless us, bless us)
We're on our knees begging you please to help us
(We are crying)
Sometimes it seems the hurt we feel is endless
(Can't you see, can't you see)
When they hurt I hurt too
(I'm calling, calling on thee)
So I'm coming to you

From the stress, from the pressure
From the pain, we need a change
Starting today
From the strain, from the storm
From the rain, we need a change
