Change

Change - Samsaya

If you wonder why youve never seen me cry

Always justified

Just a bit boyish

Why I cut my name up in half

Went by the name Sam

I felt the shadow was covering me

I added it to my name

Thats how Samsaya became

Doubt thats what my lifes about

My parents came out here looking for a better life

But theres no hope for my future

They work hard for low pay

So I just can't let it all waste away

Gotta make it work someday

'Cause I'm gonna make it someway

But I still hear the voice in me say

The struggle the strive

And what you had to sacrifice

Someday somehow

Change is gonna come

I understand what you did

And what you wanted from me

Someday somehow

Change is gonna come

From scratch to scraps

Seeing what others had

Tell me why it's so bad

Lying just to fit in

Didn't want it to be seen

But my reflection reminded me

That I didn't belong

Struggling to find something I could call my own

Everytime I try to understand I fail

Even today sometimes I still fail

But I know I can only be me

The rest is mystery

So I choose to follow my heart

Like I should have done from the start

'Cause I still hear the voice in me say

The struggle the strive

And what you had to sacrifice

Someday somehow

Change is gonna come

I understand what you did

And what you wanted from me

Someday somehow

Change is gonna come

I heard you say it I heard you call

I heard you tell me I know what I heard

Everything you wanted to see

Everything you wanted me to be

Though I know things feel the same

Change is gonna come

Still ain't far from me

I understand why you struggle to be

There were times when I felt there was

Too much for me

The struggle the strive

And what you had to sacrifice

Someday somehow

Change is gonna come

I understand what you did

And what you wanted from me

Someday somehow

Change is gonna come
