[Verse 1]
Is it just me, or has the world gone crazy lately?
What's going on?
Can we not see the way we're evolving, changing?
Something's going wrong
Cause every other day, it's the same old story
Broken record on repeat
Another man dies and a child goes hungry
While my brothers cry for peace

Here's another war song for the poor
Singing, "freedom isn't free"
How can my heart not beat for these?
How can my heart not bleed for these?

[Pre-Chorus]
Love called and asked about us
Said she'd wondered where we'd gone
She's been lonely without us
She wants us to come back home
And don't you miss the way it used to be for you and me?
Well, won't you please answer her call with me and say

[Chorus]
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, we've been gone for way too long
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I feel a change is coming on
And if you're ready, follow me
And we'll be the change we wanna see
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Or is it far too late, and are we too far gone?

[Background newscasters speaking]
"In Africa, medical teams are scrambling --"
"...troops pour into the country, walking roads and airports --"
"...five hundred pound laser guided bombs --"

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm numb to the news of violence
I just send another prayer
Maybe we're used to this or clueless
Or is it nobody cares?
Cause every other day, it's another killing
And our children have to pray
We act like if we ignore it, maybe it'll go away
No, I'm not a superhero
I just wanna save the day
I can't pretend everything's okay
Can't pretend everything's okay

[Pre-Chorus]
Love called and asked about us
Said she'd wondered where we'd gone
She's been lonely without us
She wants us to come back home
And don't you miss the way it used to be for you and me?
Well, won't you please answer her call with me and say

[Chorus]
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, we've been gone for way too long
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I feel a change is coming on
And if you're ready, follow me
And we'll be the change we wanna see
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Or is it far too late, and are we too far gone?

[Bridge]
Oh, so pardon me if I cross the line
But standing around watching's just a waste of time
The world won't change, no, the world won't change
'Til we try
'Til we try

[Chorus]
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, we've been gone for way too long
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I feel a change is coming on
If you're ready, follow me
And we'll be the change we wanna see
Hey, love, we're on the way
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Or is it far too late, and are we too far gone?
