Waiting for the World to Change (Live) Lyrics

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
