[Verse 1] What if Martin didn't stand up? What if Rosa didn’t sit down? What if Malcolm didn't man up? Where would we be now? What if Marley didn't get up, stand up? What if Du Bois didn’t come to advance us? And Mandela didn't come to teach us? Where would we be now? [Pre-Chorus] We are the ones we've been waitin' for We can change the world We can change the world [Chorus] With our love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love 'Cause it is up to us...

What if Langston Hughes didn’t write it down? What if Josephine Baker didn’t dance it out? (No) Tell me where would we be now? What if Sojourner never told the truth? Ida B. Wells never printed the news? Harriet never went underground? Where would we be now? [Pre-Chorus] We are the ones we've been waitin’ for We can change the world We can change the world [Chorus] With our love, love, love, love Love, love, love, love 'Cause it is up to us...
