Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Will the heroes stand up?
Call the brave man to arms
The time is right for that someone
Who can see into the future
Who will tell us the truth, lead the children a-right? Whoa
Said, who is ready to speak out for the man who is voiceless?
You better know
[Chorus]
The people are ready, they want a better day now
They are tired of promises, pies in the sky, yeah
The people are moving to the future with faith now
There's got to be a better way, a new dawn of hope
[Verse 2]
When will all these pains go?
Who will heal all these wounds?
Will the light ever glow for the man blind with hatred? Whoa
Who will bring back the sunshine to this land of despair? Whoa
Said, who is ready to show some love?
Free the young of all the anger, you better know
[Chorus]
The people are ready, they want a better day now
They're tired of politics, they want some reality
The people are moving to the future with faith now
There's got to be a better way, a new dawn of hope
[Verse 3]
You turn your eyes to the sun
I'm only asking for answers
Don't you know you could go blind
My brother don't you know
The little children on the streets
I'm only asking for answers
Depend their lives on such misery
[Chorus]
The people are ready
The people are asking questions my brothers (Would we ever belong)
The people are ready
The people are asking questions my sisters (Would we ever belong)
