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
Solo
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
Solo
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
