I won't weigh you down 
with good intention 
won't make fire out of clay 
or other inventions 

will we burn in heaven 
like we do down here 
will the change come 
while we're waiting 

everyone is waiting 

and when we're done 
soul searching 
and we carry the weight 
and die for a cause 
is misery 
made beautiful 
right before our eyes 
will mercy be revealed 
or blind us where we stand 

will we burn in heaven 
like we do down here 
will the change come while we're waiting 
everyone is waiting 

will we burn in heaven 
like we do down here 
will the change come 
while we're waiting
