Change is a Comin'

Liner Notes
#protest #folk #singersongwriter #acapella I spent the weekend at a music camp and was struck once again with the power of music to create change. I decided I wanted to write a song that would be easy for people to sing along to. This has a lot of repetition so that people can join in and sing. I'm thinking it would be easy for anyone to catch on to the phrase. Music is really becoming part of the movement and I want to join in.
Lyrics
Change is a Comin’
CHORUS: Change is a comin’, Change is a comin’ Change is a comin’ now We join together and we stand strong Change is a comin’ now
Join our voices and march along Change is a comin’ now We sing our truth as we sing our song Change is a comin’ now
We stand strong in the face of hate Change is a comin’ now Lies and bullying we won’t take Change is a comin’ now
Some have lost their lives while standing strong Change is a comin’ now Hope stands strong as we walk along Change is a comin’ now
We build our strength one person at a time Change is a comin’ now The walk is tough as upward we climb Change is a comin’ now
Come join us now to protect our rights Change is a comin’ now It isn’t easy but we will fight Change is a comin’ now

Very singable! (and flexible -- it would be easy to zip whatever lyrics appear to you or the crowd into). This is perfect for its purpose.
Well done, this great message and delivery make it an instant classic. Hoping that as time goes on many voices will be added to this, as you demonstrate with the added harmonies as the song progresses.
Thank you! I would love to hear this with lots of voices.
I like it
Cool song! Reminds me of some church music. I also dig the message and hope change comes soon!
