  • If you hear this message, wherever you stand
    I'm calling every woman, calling every man
    We're the generation
    We can't afford to wait
    The future started yesterday and we're already late

    We've been looking for a song to sing
    Searched for a melody
    Searched for someone to lead
    We've been looking for the world to change
    If you feel the same
    Then go on and say

    If you're out there
    Sing along with me
    If you're out there
    I'm dying to believe that you're out there
    Stand up and say it loud
    If you're out there
    Tomorrow's starting now
    Now, now

    No more broken promises
    No more call to war
    Unless it's love and peace that we're really fighting for
    We can destroy hunger
    We can conquer hate
    Put down the arms and raise your voice
    We're joining hands today

    Oh I was looking for a song to sing
    I searched for a leader
    But the leader was me
    We were looking for the world to change
    We can be heroes
    Just go on and say

    If you're out there
    Sing along with me
    If you're out there
    I'm dying to believe that you're out there
    Stand up and say it loud
    If you're out there
    Tomorrow's starting now
    Now, now

    Oh now, now

    If you're ready we can shake the world
    Believe again
    It starts within
    We don't have to wait for destiny
    We should be the change that we want to see

    If you're out there
    If you're out there
    And you're ready now
    Say it loud
    Scream it out

    If you're out there
    Sing along with me
    If you're out there
    I'm dying to believe that you're out there
    Stand up and say it loud
    If you're out there
    Tomorrow's starting now

    If you're out there
    If you're out there
    If you're out there

    If you hear this message, wherever you stand
    I'm calling every woman, calling every man
    We're the generation
    We can't afford to wait
    The future started yesterday and we're already late Writer/s: DEVON HARRIS, JOHN STEPHENS, KAWAN PRATHER, MARCUS JOHN BRYANT
