Luther Allison - Will It Ever Change lyrics

<div class="showResultLinks">Ooo, when will it ever change?<br />

Ooo people, tell me when will it ever change?<br />

I can see bells of freedom<br />

I can't hear them ring<br />

I see this premonition<br />

Nearly happens every night<br />

I see this premonition<br />

It happens every day<br />

I can see it when they work<br />

I can tell by the things they say<br />

<br />

My sisters and my brothers<br />

On the streets all over town<br />

I can see people dyin'<br />

There's hatreds all around<br />

Ooo people, will it ever change?<br />

Sometimes I hear the bells of freedom<br />

But I never hear them ring<br />

Oh! <br />

<br />

Once I knew a man<br />

He'd fought for equality, yes he did ya'all<br />

He'd seen the Promised Land<br />

He freed now for my needs, oh yes he did<br />

I can see the bells of freedom<br />

Tell me why can't I hear them ring?<br />

Hear them ring, baby<br />

<br />

Let me tell ya'all<br />

This is what I read<br />

Come on in here<br />

Freedoms comin' in<br />

Liberty, equality, humanity<br />

Little love, never hurt nobody<br />

But we need liberty, there's no doubt about it<br />

People, when will it change?<br />

People, when will it change?<br />

We need love, I know we need love<br />

We don't need no more hatred<br />

Tell me when will it change?<br />

When will it change?<br />

People, could ya tell me when will it change?<br />

Somebody tell me now<br />

I want freedom<br />

I wanna hear those freedom bells ringin', yeah-oh<br />

Oh whoa, I wanna know<br />

Think you wanna know, too<br />

Take my hand<br />

Let me lead you to the Promised Land<br />

I think I can lead you to the Promised Land<br />

I know I can<br />

But I wanna know one thing, people<br />

I wanna know, when will it change?<br />

When will it change?<br />

Yeah</
