Change Lyrics by Samsaya

Care for Haiti

2008

[Intro]
There's some things you want to be
Some things you just can't be
My father wanted a son
He got me
[Verse 1]
If you wonder why you've 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
That's how Samsaya became
Doubt, that's what my life's about
[Pre-Chorus]
My parents came out here looking for a better life
But there's 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
