Listen here: Can’t Sit Waiting

Written and performed by MJ, to the tune “Waiting on the World to Change” by John Mayer

Listen to me Molly, I thought you understood
If I could get your son to stay at home, please believe that I would
But he won’t take no for an answer, you’ve got to know that I’ve been tryin’
But we can’t wait a minute longer, too many friends of ours are dyin’

And we can’t sit waitin’, waiting for the world to change
We can’t sit waiting, waiting for the world to change
He’s vowed to be there by my side
And I know ’bout the tears you’ve cried
But I can’t sit waitin’, waiting for the world to change.

If I thought that he would let me, I would go down this road alone
You’ve got to know that it ain’t easy, walking into the unknown
But I’d trust your son with my life, and he’d do the same for me
In the end, deep down, you know that this is how it’s how this has to be

And we can’t sit waitin’, waiting for the world to change
We can’t sit waiting, waiting for the world to change
The fate of our nation,
rests on our generation
And we can’t sit Waitin’, waiting for the world to change

And we can’t sit waitin’, waiting for the world to change
We can’t sit waiting, waiting for the world to change
He’s so much stronger than you know
But you’ve got to let your baby go
Cause we can’t keep waiting, waiting for the world to change
