    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

    I'll always love this song because of how real it is.

      Yeah this song is way more relatable now compared to when I first heard it 15 years ago, lots of true facts said. It describes the pandemic and war in Ukraine perfectly, very eerie in a way.

    "please don't pay attention to the text in front of you" I thought that was part of the lyrics. And then I thought you were telling me to put down my phone. Finally, I realized it was just you telling me you posted the wrong lyrics.

    If this world of ours is ever going to change, it first needs to start with the people. Not our government. again, that's us, we the people. so much violence, hatred, killings, ect. are out there and we the people just sit back and shake our heads. No more waiting for the world to change. It all starts with us.

    jacob sang this very well because it suited him and his tone of voice, the other ones he did were still very good but don't think he sang them with as much passion

    • @puncakes2876
      @puncakes2876 Před 7 lety

      but if you recall his past. this song not only suited him in terms of tone. He grew up practically living this. He connected to this song more passionately because he related to it on a whole different level, always waiting, for the parents that never came, and for the ones that he finally deserved.

    Just because someone is waiting on the world to change doesn't mean they are not trying to change it every day. You have to look at it from a different perspective.

    John Mayer says it all.
    We fell like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it.
    so we keep on waiting on the world to change.
    but we should stop just waiting and do something about it instead, this world is not gonna change without a little help.

      Sometimes you cannot change the world because you can't do much all alone in most cases... However, you can make others change the world. The ones who change the world are the new generations. You can inspire them and they will change the world.

    People talking about change. One day maybe the human race will reach it's potential. So far humans exhibit the worst of our qualities a lot of the time. Hatred, violence, cruelty, greed. Those are what the history of humanity is marked by. There's absolutely great people out there, but even they have their moments.
