Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Revelations, we livin' in
Am I dreaming?
Who is gonna protect us now?
Right back to color
Blacks depreciate
If we're not careful, we'll be back segregated
Change for the better of your soul
[Verse 2]
We gotta change our love
We gotta change for the world
I got to give you my love
If you don't know me by now
Just check yourself
[Verse 3]
I ain't afraid to love you
See? I come with open arms
Stop hiding behind religion
Hate is poison in the blood
Heaven is crime, the world is shakin'
God is unhappy, the moon is breakin'
Blood is spillin', God is comin'
What are you gonna do?
Shout them lines, take this love
Put away the gun, and take this love
[Verse 4]
We gotta change our love
We gotta change for the world
I got to give you my love
[Verse 5]
Ooh
Change the false preachings, change the hate in you
[Verse 6]
We gotta change our love
We gotta change for the world
I got to give you my love
Change, change yeah
Changin' for this world
All over the world
Change, change the world
