Whoa when will it ever change

I say whoa when will it ever change

I can see the bells of freedom

But I cannot hear them ring

I see discrimination

It happens every day

I see discrimination

It happens every day

I can tell by the way they walk

I can tell by what they say

My sister and my brother

On the streets all over town

I can see people dying

And there's hatred all around

Whoa

When will it ever change

I said whoa baby tell me when will it ever change

Sometimes I see the bells of freedom

But I can never hear them ring

Once I knew a man and he fought for equality

He'd seen the promised land

He freed now for my needs

I can see the bells of freedom

But I cannot hear them ring

I can't hear them ring
