If You're Out There

A song with inspiring messages, from John Legend for Obama presidential campaign but also a call to arms for anyone who has a mind to contribute and the motivation to actually do it. What we're trying to say is that the time is now, we've already waited long enough to start working on the issues that we need to handle as a country and as a globe. We're talking about poverty, ending the war, and we need more people out there who are clamoring for change, it's not just about electing Obama, it's just about the mindset and putting pressure on the politicians to be more responsible.

So now, President Obama made change history and will make more change Americans need...but then the rest of us, and people are out there on top of the world ....
If you hear this message, Wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, Calling ever man
We're the generation, We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday, And we're already late

We've been looking for a song to sing
Searched for a melody, Searched for someone to lead
We've been looking for the world to change
If you feel the same, well go on and say

If you're out there, sing along with me
If you're out there, I'm dying to believe
That you're out there, Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there, tomorrow's starting now...now...now

No more broken promises, No more call to war
Unless it's Love and Peace that we're really fighting for
We can destroy Hunger, we can conquer Hate
Put down the arms and raise your voice
We're joining hands today

I was looking for a song to sing
Searched for a leader, but the leader was me
We were looking for the world to change
We can be heroes, Just go on and say
If you're out there, sing along with me
If you're out there, I'm dying to believe that
you're out there, Stand up and say it loud if you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now...now...now
Whoa now...now...now

If you ready we can save the world
Believe again, start to mend
We don't have to wait for destiny
We should be the change that we want to see

If you're out there, If you're out there
And you're ready now
Sing it loud, scream it out
If you're out there
Sing along with me if you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud if you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
If you're out there
If you're out there
If you're out there

If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling ever man
We're the generation, we can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late
