HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 126- WAITING ON THE WORLD TO CHANGE BY JOHN MAYER (A COVER)

Hello, fellow hivers.

This is Hive Open Mic week 126 and the theme is "Trusting in the process." For this theme, the song I have chosen to present is a wonderful song written by the amiable John Mayer titled "waiting on the world to change."

This song talks about how his generation is kind of hopeless and unable to effect a lot of change in the world because the generation in power has chosen to make it theirs to the detriment of others.

How I connected it to the theme for the week is that the lyrics towards the end of the song talk about his generation ruling the population in the near future. This sorta points to him knowing that the world will change someday. He trusts that however slow, the world will be a better place in the near future.

Here are the lyrics of the song.
Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting on (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They woulda never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
'Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now I keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
We're waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
