World is Waiting

The woods are deep and dark tonight

With trees as thick as bayonets

My boots are heavy on this road

Of ancient hurts and old regrets

But in the dust there is a song

That walkers sang to face their fears

I feel its rhythm in my breath

It’s like I’ve heard it years and years

The ghosts that walk this road with me

They keep cryin': “how long?

Will justice be denied the poor

And all the people who suffer wrong?

When will a generation rise

To break the chain and make us whole?"

Their voices can not be denied

They call to me down in my soul

A world is waiting

Where love counts for more than power

A world is waiting

In every moment, every hour

Where no one speaks in words of hate

And no one has to live in fear

That world is waiting for us here

Break the chain Break the chain

A world is waiting

Where love counts for more than power

A world is waiting

In every moment, every hour

Break the chain and make us whole

 They call me down to my soul

Break the chain and make us whole

They call me down to my soul

Where no one... Where no one...

Where no one

speaks in words of hate

And no one has to live in fear That world is waiting for us here

Break the chain Break the chain
