Please give me a redemption song I need one real bad No one seems to write them now That John and Bob are dead All I know is We need one right now If life's another game of chess We lost a couple pieces The ones who had a dream for us The legends who would lead us All I know is We need them right now The darkness makes it hard to see the light But the time is always right to do what's right If you only knew I'm just as scared as you You're not the only one Is it ignorant to say that war is Just no longer needed? And childish to think that love Gives life a higher meaning? All I know is We need love right now The people we have given trust End up corrupt and rotten They start with great ideals But on the way that's all forgotten All I know is We need hope right now The darkness makes it hard to see the light But the time is always right to do what's right If you only knew I'm just as scared as you You're not the only one You're not the only one who's had enough Give me your hand so we can stand up You're not the only one done waiting for changes to come You're not the only one who's had enough The darkness makes it hard to see the light (Give me your hand so we can stand up) But the time is always right to do what's right (You're not the only one done waiting) If you only knew (For changes to come) I'm just as scared as you You're not the only one Please give me a redemption song I need one real bad No one seems to write them now That John and Bob are dead All I know is We need one right now
