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)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
(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)
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)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
(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)
Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

Now we keep on waiting
(waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

Album is flawless. My personal favorite track off Continuum is Dreaming with a Broken heart. Song just encapsualtes my past
 
Awesome song... for those who haven't heard, check out the acoustive version of this song with Ben Harper, it's really good as well. It's off theVillage Sessions EP.
 
The album version of "Gravity" doesn't hold a candle to the live version. That's him at his best.

- Tical.
 
I'll also recommend just getting the other few songs off of the Village Sessions EP. It's Slow Dancing in a burning room, Waiting on the world tochange, Belief, In Repair, Good Love is on the way, and I'm going to find another you. All acoustic, and they're all really good, so check it out ifyou're a fan.
 
The message on the regular is appreciated...however the Acoustic version with Ben Harper is

I wish he would've let Ben get some shine though
 
It really doesn't matter what song is the best on Continuum. There all excellent.

Appreciated.
 
In Repair has to be my favorite.

He seems really down to earth, almost as if he's talking to me directly.
 
Hearing this song in the morning while waking up.. pretty dope

Please...no more...

Over the 4-month span that I worked at Academy Sports & Outdoors, I'd heard that song about 83 million times.
