Agricantus - Change lyrics

(Cole - Crispi - Wiederkehr) Silently we pray to our new god The diamond-studded lord of profit Businessman are idols we admire Money lights our fire Conceited we sit in our red leather chair Thinking ahead but not thinking too far! Cosily enclosed in our garden of delight No time to think of other folks plights Maybe it's time, it's time for change A change in our heart, our mind A change in our vision! Man and woman leave the land and make their way to cities Hoping for an end to thei miseries Delhi, Sao Paulo, Shangai, Mexico City Open up their gutters to the human stream Bursting their seams with people's dreams Day dreams of better life or just a bowl of rice Favelas of the world s**ing children to their breasts Even rats make better nests Feel the bitter sweet taste of reality In the forgotten realms of humanity I can't keep up the pace of the race Can't find my space in this place I really feel (now) there's no time to waste! Maybe it's time, it's time for change A change in our heart, our mind A change in our vision! We do need a real ch'ange A change in our heart, our mind A change in our vision!
