The World Is Changing

Bob Marley

Compositor: Bob Marley

One near or far is seeking, what are they looking for?
I don't know, what if you find it?
Please, won't you tell me so, oh, yeah
Now every young folk throughout the land
Looking for someone to understand
But all the older ones they just reminisce
Talking 'bout the good ol' days that they miss

See how blind you've been
See how the world you live in is changing
Lord have mercy
World around us is afraid of hate
We better wake up or soon it will be too late

I guess what they want is some peace of mind
But I know it's very hard to find
No we can't borrow it from a friend
Piece of mind got to come from within
We ought to stop and think
The sign shows the break of destruction
Why'd everybody stop to take heat
Or help someone who's really, really in need

See how confused you are
Everyone near or far is seekin'
What are they looking for?
I don't know, what if you find it?
Please, won't you tell me so

See how blind you've been
See how the world you live in is changing
Lord have mercy
World around us is afraid of hate
We better wake up or soon it will be too late
We ought to stop and think
The sign shows the break of destruction
