Great Change

Great change.

When diamonds are covered in mud they're seen as worthless.
It Is only when they are cleansed and in the sun that they shine and gain value.
No-one sees your beauty, your worth till you're in action no longer covered in dirt.
When you shine, you attract.
See, people leave when they think you don't have much,
But it only takes someone true to love you when you don't look brand new.

At the age of nine years old, we're taught to shut our windows, block our ears but somebody 's crying "I'm cold".
So you're teaching me the opposite, not to care.
Then you're injustice so tell them I'm not listening.
I'm not playing your games.
I'd rather give what I have and starve.
If you think that's murder what about those with none.
What about the child who got raped and ran away, who gave up on life and prayer.
Who told her mom who couldn't believe, too blinded by love to see the evil deeds.

You have to speak loud when the world is telling you quiet.
You have to choose right not wrong and down with riots.
I'm young and a woman but my words will ring loud.
I will shout it from the rooftops even when the devil tempts me.
I'll shout it to the world till God takes me.

Till then,
I’m left with the renewing of my mind.
The hypocrites stand to tell lies,
Practice what you preach,
Preach what you teach but when the doors are closed it’s night on Elm street.
This time I’m not going alone,
I'm taking my family,my friends my school and my home.
For it Is a time, a time for great change.
We are all for one,
We are all one for great change.
