The "Waiting For The Day" project pairs original music with organizations which facilitate voter registration and poll attendance. As a non-partisan movement, the goal of free and fair elections uninhibited by unnecessarily strict and illegal registration restrictions is of particular interest in the 2024 season.
Lyrics
[Intro] Vincent Van Great
Where would you go if you had to take flight
Break out of mind from invisible fights
Comes a time to keep from bending, to unjust ways
And so I’m waiting...
[A]
Sitting still as headstones, unaware as time goes by
(mis)Information fed through our phones, to find the real you gotta try
All across the homeland, we have to have our say
And we’ll be waiting.... waiting for the day.
[B] Amanda Huff
When the smoky rains can’t cleanse me, justice for the people sends me
Cos it depends, see, if you work for what is true.
Sometimes, I just don’t know why I love this land like I do...
[A] Vincent & Amanda
People, people... nothing’s ever guaranteed
The glitter’s only on the surface, of those who lead
Have a voice, raise your point, tell the one to which you pray
While you’re waiting... waiting for the day.
Waiting. Waiting for the day....
<sax solo>
[B] Shanti Lleone
Ooohhh, no matter what I see, I can...
Always find a way, away, a way.
Cos it's, through our liberty, we can have our say....
[A] Vincent & Amanda
ahhh... People, people... gotta keep it in your mind
Everyday working, working through the grind
It's up to us, you and me, to choose a better way
While we're waiting, waiting for the day.
We won't keep waiting...
