You're Not The Only One (Redemption Song) letra

Please give me a redemption song
I need one real bad
No one seems to write them now
That John and Bob are dead
All I know is
We need one right now

If life's another game of chess
We lost a couple pieces
The ones who had a dream for us
The legends who would lead us
All I know is
We need them right now

The darkness makes it hard to see the light
But the time is always right to do what's right
If you only knew
I'm just as scared as you
You're not the only one

Is it ignorant to say that war is
Just no longer needed?
And childish to think that love
Gives life a higher meaning?
All I know is
We need love right now

The people we have given trust
End up corrupt and rotten
They start with great ideals
But on the way that's all forgotten
All I know is
We need hope right now

The darkness makes it hard to see the light
But the time is always right to do what's right
If you only knew
I'm just as scared as you
You're not the only one

You're not the only one who's had enough
Give me your hand so we can stand up
You're not the only one done waiting for changes to come
You're not the only one done waiting

The darkness makes it hard to see the light
(Give me your hand so we can stand up)
But the time is always right to do what's right
(You're not the only one done waiting)

If you only knew
(For changes)
I'm just as scared as you
(To come)
You're not the only one

Please give me a redemption song
I need one real bad
No one seems to write them now
That John and Bob are dead
All I know is
We need one right now
