What If |
| 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? |
| We are the ones we’ve been waitin' for |
| We can change the world |
| We can change the world |
| With our love, love, love, love |
| Love, love, love, love |
| 'Cause it is up to us… |
| We are the ones we’ve been waitin' for |
| We can change the world |
| Our love can change the world |
| We can change the world |
| With our love, love, love, love |
| Love, love, love, love |
| Our love can change the world |
| What if Maya didn’t speak out? |
| 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? |
| We are the ones we’ve been waitin' for |
| We can change the world |
| We can change the world |
| With our love, love, love, love |
| Love, love, love, love |
| 'Cause it is up to us… |
| We are the ones we’ve been waitin' for |
| We can change the world |
| Our love can change the world |
| We can change the world |
| With our love, love, love, love |
| Love, love, love, love |
| Our love can change the world |
| Me too, I matter, you matter, we matter |
| Together we are love |
| Me too, I matter, you matter, we matter |
| Together we are love |
| It’s gotta be all of us |
| Stand up and speak up |
| With all of our love |
| Love, love, love, love |
| Love, love, love, love |
| 'Cause it is up to us… |
| We are the ones we’ve been waitin' for |
| We can change the world |
| Our love’ll change the world |
| We will change the world |
| With our love, love, love, love |
| Love, love, love, love |
| Our love can change the world |
| Oprah, Kamala, Ava, Tarana and Lena |
| Serena, Viola, Opal, Patrisse and Alicia |
| You and me, are the chosen, right now, this is our moment |
| We are a people of motion |
| Our love’s gonna change the world |
