Lyrics:

Whoa, when will it ever change?
I say, whoa, when will it ever change?

I can see the bells of freedom
But I cannot hear them ring

I see discrimination
It happens every day

I see discrimination
It happens every day

I can tell by the way they walk
I can tell by what they say

Solo

My sister and my brother
On the streets all over town
I can see people dying
And there’s hatred all around

Whoa
When will it ever change?
I said, whoa, baby, tell me, when will it ever change?

Sometimes I see the bells of freedom
But I can never hear them ring

Solo

Once I knew a man and he fought for equality
He’d seen the promised land

He freed now for my needs

I can see the bells of freedom
But I cannot hear them ring…

I can’t hear them ring
