Waiting for the World to Change (Live)

If the sun became a pool of golden water And the sky became a shattered piece of glass If the sounds of silence suddenly could echo And the future could erase the written past Well, I don't know how I'd feel If all my dreams were real But how cruel it is to live a life in chains Well, the world could turn around And be flipped upside down And I'd still be waiting for the world to change Yes, I'd still be waiting for the world to change If the leaves remained the same unfaded color And the snowflakes never melted in the wind If a heart was but an empty piece of plastic Then I'd never ever have to feel again Well, I don't know how I'd feel If all my dreams were real But how cruel it'd be if everything remained Well, the world could turn around And be flipped upside down And I'd still be waiting for the world to change Yes, I'd still be wondering when the world would change If my own true love came running to my window And the winds of change could open up my door And if all I ever wanted came right to me Would I even want to have them anymore? Well, I don't know how I'd feel If all my dreams were real But how cruel it is to live a life in chains Well, the world could turn around And be flipped upside down And I'd still be waiting for the world to change Yes, I'd still be waiting for the world to change
