Even If It Takes A Lifetime

(album: Dopamine - 2022)

We gotta tell the world
We gotta push back hard
'Cause in the last long mile
We're gonna walk the hardest yards
We gotta educate
We gotta pass it on
We gotta stand up straight
We gotta stand up strong

That angry beast from the underground
When you see it, gotta shoot it down
We're never gonna make the world better 'til it's gone

Every child is born
With an open heart
He don't care about colour
'Til Daddy marks his part

Then history repeats the twist
He's taught to fear the differences
By the time he's a man
He knows how to hate

We been a long time waiting for the change to come
Hold on, hold on
'Cause even if it takes a lifetime to right the wrongs
We've gotta hold on

We gotta drown 'em out
When they scream and shout
If they stoke the fire
We gotta stamp it out

Call it out when it shows its face
And knock it down in every place
We gotta stand together until it's done
Everyone

We been a long time waiting for the change to come
Hold on, hold on
'Cause even if it takes a lifetime to right the wrongs
We've gotta hold on

How many times around the sun
Before this mad disease is gone, gone, gone
We've gotta made this land a place for everyone
Everyone, til it's done

We been a long time waiting for the change to come
Hold on, hold on
'Cause even if it takes a lifetime to right the wrongs
We've gotta hold on

We been a long time waiting for the change to come
Hold on, hold on
'Cause even if it takes a lifetime to right the wrongs
We've gotta hold on
Hold on
Hold on
