Stop Waiting

(The little girl I saw studying on a beach in Pondicherry!)

Look around you

What do you see?
Have you ever noticed?
Smiling faces and light hearts
just aren't as common as they used to be

This world, our world
seems to be so scared
Just waiting and watching
So unprepared

Stop waiting for the world to change
The truth is,
this isn't new.
Stop waiting for the world to change
The truth is,
Its waiting for you!

It's time to wake up
to this reality
Just lend a hand
And reach out
If you really have to
even jump up! Shout!

This world, this is our home
The only place we've ever known
Stop waiting for the wrold to change
'cos the truth is its waiting for us

Stop waiting for the world to change
the truth is,
this isnt new
Stop waiting for the world to change
The truth is,
Its waiting for you!
