Now we [D#] have Roy Zimmerman.

This is a national campaign.
All the candidates have their [A#] campaign [B] theme song.
But this is our [D] campaign.
This is our campaign.
Hoping [A] change is what you voted for.
Looking at you now I know that you're
wishing [G] that you wrote something more.
Moving [D] forward.
Hoping [A] that the nation would be free
from a hand of ignorance and greed.
But [G] you know the slogan [E] always needed just [A] one more word.
[D] Oh, struggling change.
Oh, struggling [A] change.
Oh, there's trouble and danger on the road to justice.
Gonna keep on hoping.
Gonna keep my [G] eyes open.
And change [F#m] will [Bm] come.
Change will come.
[A] But it won't be easy.
[C] You know that civil rights didn't fall to us
the [D] moment Rosa Parks stepped on that bus.
So [G] many fought and died for racial justice [A] before and after.
And suddenly a ray of hope appears.
But [D] only after years and years and years.
And [G] only because of blood and sweat [E] and tears.
And yes, [A] even laughter.
[Bm] Oh, [A] struggling change.
Oh, struggling change.
Oh, there's trouble and danger on the road to justice.
Gonna keep on hoping.
Gonna keep my [G] eyes open.
And change [F#] will come.
[Bm] Change [Em] will come.
[A] But it won't be [D] easy.
[A]
Elizabeth [A] Cady Stanton never saw a woman's right
to hope become law.
But [G] women everywhere now know the awesome load [A] she carried.
And Stonewall didn't settle any fight.
There's been a lot of stonewalling since that night.
But one [G] more state just recognized [E] the right of people
to [A] be married.
Oh, struggling [D] change.
Oh, struggling change.

We gotta hope and cry and [Em] work until we die.
We gotta plan and fail, [E] spend the night in jail.
[A] We gotta really get pissed, resist to raise [G] a fist.
We gotta [D] try to [E] revolutionize.
We gotta [A] feed and need, [Em] suffer guaranteed.
We [A] gotta sweat, no doubt, get [E] a vote out.
[A] We gotta howl and yell, raise a lot of hell.
We [D] gotta educate and [E] organize [G] to keep our eyes [A] on the prize.
[Bm]
[D] [B] So asking [A] any president to make [D] fundamental change,
that's our mistake.
[G] We gotta be a giant just awakening from [A] its slumber.
You know the moral arc of the universe,
it's bending ever better, never worse.
It's almost [G] like the human race [Em] rehearsing for its [A] big number.
[B] Sing with me!
[D] Oh, struggling change.
Oh, struggling change.
[A] Oh, there's trouble and [D]
