Waiting

Wilberforce fought almost the entire House of Commons for what he stood for. Of course, we all know that it was not by his own strength, but by the amazing grace of God which himself had lauded. But his determination to go against the impossibilities was nevertheless the key to freedom for millions.

But the slavery has continued. By the same master; the human nature, especially Master G. And this time, his conquest far exceeds any empire we have ever seen. He has enslaved almost the entire population of the Earth but chosen fews. And he is not relenting till he conquers the world. Well, i don't think he's far from that anyway.

And so i wonder, where is the Wilberforce of this generation?

Anyway...

Are we not as what John Mayer sang in his song "Waiting on the world to change"?


People tell us that our stand is futile. We see the spiraling down of the world, but feel as if we do not have what it takes to rise above and beat it.


Freaking true he says; it's hard to beat the system when we're standing at a distance.


What you get from the TV is all you got. Once they own the information, all you know is all they ever want you to know.


Then we complain and whine, saying that the fight ain't fair. Damn right it is.






Me and all my friends
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
