I remember my teacher showing this to us in 4th grade. The teacher’s assistant put up 2 posters that said, “Are you changing the world… or waiting on the world to change?” and that has always stuck with me ever since. Been graduated for almost 4 years now and it’s still with me. Hope I can change the world some day one way or another.
Ask God to guide you. He will inspire you and guide even give you the strength. He loves having warriors of peace love and change . Good luck. We can collaborate. I am lady Gaga.
It's actually still relevant to today. We're "waiting for the world to change" due to all the sh1t we've seen and experienced l, were definitely restless about it. It's still our mentality. He was right, we will grow up and be the leaders.
“When you trust your television, what you get is what you got- cause when they own the information they can bend it all they want.” Jesus. We’re all being sold stories- yet we all think it’s everyone else, not us.
This can equally go for social media and other internet outlets that post misinformation and convoluted lies. There are countless websites set up to deliberately mislead the publics' interest. Such as the case of the young man who started the QAnon movement just to see how many blind and ignorant people would follow and what a wake-up call that has been. RUclips is a huge source of misinformation and conspiracist that spread it. So you can say the same thing about the internet as you can the Media and TV nightly news. You'll find liars in every corner and crevice of the world using outlets like these to spread their own agendas. Most people believe what their circle of friends believe... they're so afraid of losing people and ending up alone that they follow whether they believe or not and whether they have a shred of evidence or not. In fact, you could wave the truth right in front of their faces, and because they've been told repeatedly how evil the news media is they won't even believe their own eyes. These tactics may be updated by today's standards of mass communication but Dictators and Demagogues like Mussolini used the same methods of brainwashing. But over time people do catch on to the lies and daily doses of bullshit they are fed and that's when the real shit goes down.
the world won't change until the people stand up and quit letting politicians and government officials fuck us over. it won't change until people vote for a group effort, not who will send them a bribe(that check). it won't change until people think and do the research for themselves instead of blindly following corrupt sources. it won't change until we get rid of the disrespectful attitude towards others for any reason and value one another. it won't change until we get rid of these dividing categories like race, gender, sexual orientation, etc in unrequired places. it most likely won't be seen in my lifetime (I'm 23 for clarity).
Man, I remember this being a part of a PBS commercial when I was little, and I never knew the song. All I remembered was the guitar riff at 2:10, so I hummed it into Google, and now I'm here. After 14 years, I finally found it. What a banger.
"When you trust the television, what you get is what you got. Cause when they own the information, oh, they can bend it all they want!" People need to FEEL those lyrics and recognize their truth in this day in age!!
People are so distracted by the two party system, doesn't matter who you align your beliefs with, it's still the same as it's always been, the rich vs the poor.
When we don’t need the world to change we need to be the change. 1 simple act of kindness has a ripple effect. Love each other as one and it will in fact change the world.
Fuck all my favourite old songs are by John Mayer and I fucking love it, when I was little I'd ride home with my dad listening to these at night with the warm city lights going by (and this was before everything got really bright and obnoxious) and me falling asleep looking out the window, I'm crying now :')

People need to bring back inspirational lyrics like this one instead of singing about wanting to get into someone's pants or breaking up. There are more important things in the world that deserve singing about.
+Myathewolfeh1 How odd! I don't find this song inspirational at all. I'm drawn to it because I can relate to the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness and with the downright laziness expressed in it. It's depressing but real. Some of us refuse to even try to do anything to make the world a better place because we believe it's futile or because we're too selfish or lazy. Instead of actually doing anything to change ourselves or change the world, "we keep on waiting, waiting, waiting on the world to change."
+Myathewolfeh1 Jesus fuck. Songs like that have been around since music has been music has existed. Stow your cynicism away, because music has never changed. The people have.
Well, it's been about 14 years since I first heard this song on the radio. Even though I was really young back then, I'm still able to remember the tune all this time later. Absolute masterpiece.
Funny how this song has a different meaning to everyone which aligns with their personal views (obviously) but that just goes to show we all want a better world but who decides what better is, is a matter of individual perspective.
The world is complicated, but there's still behaviors and actions that are clearly destructive and lead to suffering. It's about knowing what to do in the moment and realizing there is no one size fits all solution.
interesting verses... when you trust your television, what you get is what you got. when you own the information you bend it all you want.... I think that is very deep right now years later...
@@trusttrust8472 omg this ordinal commen was made 4 years ago and I wanted to see if u guys were still alive. Aldo, Adele is amazing, listen to someone like you please.
It always had the meaning that it did, we were just too young to pick up on it. Also having the lyrics in front of you changes the song versus humming a half heard song that we didn't have the life experience to understand.
Hello. Good morning. My name is Brian López. What is your favorite Jake and the Never Land Pirates episode? Please let me know in the comments down below.
The change will come when you see the world through the lord's eyes. Only so much can be done. But plenty could be understood. The Lord doesn't want us walking blind.
It has been nearly ten years since I have first heard this song. This is the first song I ever remember hearing, and for some strange reason, I could never forget the song, even when I forgot both the tune and the lyrics, and had no clue who the artist was. I realized that it was the feeling in my heart I couldn't forget. About a year ago, I figured out why... it is my soul's song. So I spent the last three weeks racking my brain, trying my best to remember anything about the tune or the lyrics. Finally, I succeed and have been 'reunited' with my soul song. Like if there is a song that you feel is your 'soul song'.
If you are reading this right now..this song hits the heart. I remember hearing this at the age of 15...so naive of the world and how dark it really is... Best of luck to you and your life hopefully we can all make a positive impact.
Brother, that's exactly what Christ wouldn't want you to do. He didn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves, so he took up the cross. If you actually want to be like Jesus, there's similarities you can do without sacrificing yourself, such as becoming a deist, stop voting for politicians who lie us into wars, and being a pacifist whos good at self defense.
Considering that all of this is still around and nothing is really changing yeah it is pretty sad. Let's hope some change comes our way even if it's just a small change and i hope that it benefits your life!
yes and no. There's always gonna be problems. That's not sad that's reality. What's sad is some of the problems we haven't defeated like sexism and racism.
That's exactly what THEY want; just keep "waiting on the world to change". The architects of this world System know, that like the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz the populace lack a brain.
My 4th grade teacher used to play this. It was 2006 rio del Norte. She said “you’ll remember this song when you all are older and think of the time when you were in my class”. And sure enough it’s true.
People need to stop waiting and take action. Buy land. Grow your own food and or buy from farmers. Stop watching the news. Do your research. Stop trusting the government. Stay away from doctors as much as possible and don’t take everything they hand out. Watch what your bringing into your home you would be surprised as to how much stuff is not good for our health. Help neighbors when given the chance. The list goes on. Time for people to wake up and stop waiting for someone to save them. Be the change.
Buying land at scale is only possible for the rich and would lead to land speculation that would strengthen the system. Growing your own food is great if you know what your doing by doing it organically yet still getting rid of pests and parasites in a organic manner. You still need to have information sources but ones that are much harder to copt. There's still things you want to trust the government on, being contrarian and reactionary isn't being knowledgeable. You have to stay close to doctors in order to live, but it's best to be skeptical and heavily involved in your treatment. Also helping neighbors blindly can lead you to toxic relationships if not done carefully. While everyone deserves help, what they are helped with and how is just as important, never sacrifice yourself instead of another, for that just leads to the same number of people being sacrificed.
@@goldismoney5899 you really think I have the power to change the world? If I did I would I’m not a god. Me being a kind human being and recycling isn’t going to cure cancer, or give world peace.
So underrated. This in my opinion is the greatest song of the 21st century. It's timeless. Beautifully written, beautifully composed, and those two components layer together flawlessly.
Lyrics One, two One, two, three Me and all my friends We're all misunderstood They say we stand for nothing and There's no way we ever could Now we see everything that's going wrong With the world and those who lead it We just feel like we don't have the means To rise above and beat it So we keep waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change It's hard to beat the system When we're standing at a distance So we keep waiting on (waiting) Waiting on the world to change Now if we had the power To bring our neighbors home from war They woulda never missed a Christmas No more ribbons on their door And when you trust your television What you get is what you got 'Cause when they own the information, oh They can bend it all they want That's why we're waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change It's not that we don't care We just know that the fight ain't fair So we keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change And we're still waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change One day our generation Is gonna rule the population So we keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change Now I keep on waiting (waiting) Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting (waiting) We're waiting on the world to change Waiting on the world to change Waiting on the world to change Waiting on the world to change

Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years and practiced some forms of the occult until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. He can heal you of the deepest pain, trauma, disease, addictions, and shame. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.
I was just thinking this morning The world is changing, the Creeps that run the television, the creeps that run the healthcare , the stock market, the banking system and start all the wars for profit, they are fixing to be removed. Great day to be alive! Get to know our Creator and Savior! He forgives all, He is truth and love!

Prayers to God for your own personal change. Where you become a warrior of abode and create warriors of God. That is probably one of the best of God’s Tools. An army of Gods faithful that can spread like corona 19.
I remember being inside my mother's womb during the great depression and hearing this, I was amazed by the song. It spoke truth and peace. I'm 21 now and I'm still listening to this. Like if you agree
It’s an eye opening experience when you grow up and realize the people around you, the people you’ve grown up with, are awful. Sometimes I feel so drained from seeing all these horrible things. Greed, selfishness, manipulation… but I can’t change everything by myself. At least I know John Mayer can relate.
I remember begging my mom to play this song in every car ride (I had begged for months for a physical copy) I lost the CD and could never find it on the radio again. Around 2 years later and two days before christmas it suddenly came on while we pulled into our driveway. Everyone didnt get out and we all just sat there and listened to it.
BROOO... We rented a car, we bought the CD and those assholes came in the middle of the night and reclaimed the car with the CD still in the car.....I was so sad 😭😭😭

People need to bring back inspirational lyrics like this one instead of singing about wanting to get into someone's pants or breaking up. There are more important things in the world that deserve singing about.
+Myathewolfeh1 How odd! I don't find this song inspirational at all. I'm drawn to it because I can relate to the feeling of hopelessness and helplessness and with the downright laziness expressed in it. It's depressing but real. Some of us refuse to even try to do anything to make the world a better place because we believe it's futile or because we're too selfish or lazy. Instead of actually doing anything to change ourselves or change the world, "we keep on waiting, waiting, waiting on the world to change."
+CalLadyQED same here
+Myathewolfeh1 you are my favorite person ever, i hate how every song on the radio is about sex
+Myathewolfeh1 you are my favorite person ever, i hate how every song on the radio is about sex
+Myathewolfeh1 Jesus fuck. Songs like that have been around since music has been music has existed. Stow your cynicism away, because music has never changed. The people have.
Well, it's been about 14 years since I first heard this song on the radio. Even though I was really young back then, I'm still able to remember the tune all this time later. Absolute masterpiece.
Absolute!!!
Crap song. Another lame dude that will keep "waiting" as the world tells him what to do. Not me. I make a change and take charge of my life.
And we’re still waiting!!!
Funny how this song has a different meaning to everyone which aligns with their personal views (obviously) but that just goes to show we all want a better world but who decides what better is, is a matter of individual perspective.
so deep, matt
The world is complicated, but there's still behaviors and actions that are clearly destructive and lead to suffering. It's about knowing what to do in the moment and realizing there is no one size fits all solution.
Some people want the world to change to fit them. Others want the world to change to fit us all.
@J Nobody wants the later 😂
Facts son
Breaks my heart. We are still waiting for world to change to this day. It ENDS this year! Change is here! Rise up my fellow my people. Stand with me!
Who’s here January 2020 still waiting on the world to change 💫
2020 yooooooo!
me. but that's depends. so it is up to each person
This is real
interesting verses... when you trust your television, what you get is what you got. when you own the information you bend it all you want.... I think that is very deep right now years later...

It always had the meaning that it did, we were just too young to pick up on it. Also having the lyrics in front of you changes the song versus humming a half heard song that we didn't have the life experience to understand.

The change will come when you see the world through the lord's eyes. Only so much can be done. But plenty could be understood. The Lord doesn't want us walking blind.
It has been nearly ten years since I have first heard this song. This is the first song I ever remember hearing, and for some strange reason, I could never forget the song, even when I forgot both the tune and the lyrics, and had no clue who the artist was. I realized that it was the feeling in my heart I couldn't forget. About a year ago, I figured out why... it is my soul's song. So I spent the last three weeks racking my brain, trying my best to remember anything about the tune or the lyrics. Finally, I succeed and have been 'reunited' with my soul song. Like if there is a song that you feel is your 'soul song'.

First thing to accept is that whatever you dream about it will not happen. Make peace with your own soul. Many people destroy what others create.

Doing this one simple thing will save so many lives.

This song hits spot on since it was made hits the same even now
I put my personal world down for just one change back to zero in Jesus Christ.
Brother, that's exactly what Christ wouldn't want you to do. He didn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves, so he took up the cross. If you actually want to be like Jesus, there's similarities you can do without sacrificing yourself, such as becoming a deist, stop voting for politicians who lie us into wars, and being a pacifist whos good at self defense.
The world has changed, just not for the better...
The world hasn't gotten worse, our information has gotten better. That's another way to look at it
There is no going back from the damage we have done to the ecosystem if you do research. Now we have ISIS. There is a lot more terrorism.
+Niko Whittlesey actually since the 1980s overall terrorism has gone down substantially. just give it a quick Google search
anthony Levite Terrorism is broadcasted a lot more though. Although if what you are saying is true, that is a plus.
guess we'll just have to keep on waiting
This song will never be irrelevant and honestly that's so sad
Considering that all of this is still around and nothing is really changing yeah it is pretty sad. Let's hope some change comes our way even if it's just a small change and i hope that it benefits your life!
yes and no. There's always gonna be problems. That's not sad that's reality. What's sad is some of the problems we haven't defeated like sexism and racism.

That's exactly what THEY want; just keep "waiting on the world to change".
The architects of this world System know, that like the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz the populace lack a brain.
My 4th grade teacher used to play this. It was 2006 rio del Norte. She said “you’ll remember this song when you all are older and think of the time when you were in my class”. And sure enough it’s true.
Need more woke teachers like that today
A classic that is truly representing the status of the world today
The world needed change like before I was born. I'm old school.
I pray that the world will change.
Being a realist. There's no change in sight.

I always liked how the drums sound in this great song.
steve jordan is a living legend of a drummer
Really? I like the guitar solo

They don’t make them like this anymore. JP Cooper September is a next one
Radical! 😂
And still waiting
People need to stop waiting and take action. Buy land. Grow your own food and or buy from farmers. Stop watching the news. Do your research. Stop trusting the government. Stay away from doctors as much as possible and don’t take everything they hand out. Watch what your bringing into your home you would be surprised as to how much stuff is not good for our health. Help neighbors when given the chance. The list goes on. Time for people to wake up and stop waiting for someone to save them. Be the change.
False. Naked you were born and naked you will go. In the meantime the world WILL change but not for the good
Well Said!!
Buying land at scale is only possible for the rich and would lead to land speculation that would strengthen the system. Growing your own food is great if you know what your doing by doing it organically yet still getting rid of pests and parasites in a organic manner. You still need to have information sources but ones that are much harder to copt. There's still things you want to trust the government on, being contrarian and reactionary isn't being knowledgeable. You have to stay close to doctors in order to live, but it's best to be skeptical and heavily involved in your treatment. Also helping neighbors blindly can lead you to toxic relationships if not done carefully. While everyone deserves help, what they are helped with and how is just as important, never sacrifice yourself instead of another, for that just leads to the same number of people being sacrificed.

One, two
One, two, three
Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting on (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They woulda never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
'Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
That's why we're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
And we're still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Now I keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
We're waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change

Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years and practiced some forms of the occult until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. He can heal you of the deepest pain, trauma, disease, addictions, and shame. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.
That’s right !
I was just thinking this morning The world is changing, the Creeps that run the television, the creeps that run the healthcare , the stock market, the banking system and start all the wars for profit, they are fixing to be removed. Great day to be alive! Get to know our Creator and Savior! He forgives all, He is truth and love!
