The People Are Ready

Will the heroes stand up! Call the brave man to arms!
The time is right for that someone who can see into the future
Who will tell us the truth, lead the children a-right?
Who is ready to speak out for the man who is voiceless?
You better know-
The people are ready, they want a better day now
They are tired of promises, pies in the sky yeah
The people are moving to the future with faith now
There’s got to be a better way, a new dawn of hope
When will all these pains go
Who will heal all these wounds
Will the light ever glow for the man blind with hatred?
Who will bring back the sunshine to this land of despair
Who is ready to show some love,
Free the young of all the anger, you better know-
The people are ready, they want a better day now
They’re tired of politics, they want some reality
The people are moving to the future with faith now
There’s got to be a better way, a new dawn of hope
You turn your face to the sun
Don’t you know you could go blind
The little children on the streets
You’ve made their lives such misery…
