I was messing around on Yahoo Music, and You Tube tonight listening to different songs, and watching videos. I came across this video, by John Mayer, actually by accident on my stereo tonight. I was trying to drown out my neighbors downstairs, with their loud TV and snoring. Serious it is bad, it keeps me a wake many nights. I guess I am just used to being in the middle of no where with no neighbors at all.
I was listening to this song and then found the video on Yahoo Music. I thought it pretty much said a lot about, what I think everyone is thinking, hoping for,feeling, defiantly waiting for. Hopefully one of these days it will happen.
So since I haven’t been in much of a writing mood the last few days, I thought I would share this music video with you. Like I said I think it pretty much sums up what a lot of us are feeling these days. I hope you will enjoy it.
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

Thank you
I wish that he could understand that he is in charge of the change that he needs to happen.
After all, the system was a lot more fixed back when I stopped waiting for the world to change.
I hope that these young people can figure out that they must close the distance, and bust in.

I wish he'd never hooked up with JA. I lost respect for him.
For some reason unknown to me now, we call him Artist of The Month (have for years). Great song, FE ... and timely :) Thanks!
consonantsandvowels-Yes "You must be the change you want to see in the world." That is for sure. Thank you
Ablonde- It is a cool song and it says a lot in the lyrics. I have no idea who he looked up with you will have to fill me in on that one. Thank you
Yes timely indeed for all that has been happening in the last few weeks. We all need to become the change. Thank you
Hang in there, with the rest of us.
I was just listening to Glenn Campbell on the way home... Galveston... that song still works today.
Okay I will be back on tomorrow. I am supposed to be in bed on bed rest.. I couldn't sleep but I think I should try now..
Thank you everyone.
