Story behind the song
This is a song for Ace, an emaciated pit bull who was not given a chance to have a future because of archaic law in Detroit which directly discriminates against pit bull dogs.

Lyrics
'Waiting for Change'
They didn't like your face
They wouldn't give you a single chance
To find your special place
And now it's all too late...
You thought you would be safe
And your pain would go away
Oh you were so afraid...
A little dog named Ace
How could anyone not see your pain?
It's not a crime and you were not to blame
And the whole world's waiting for change
Action is louder than rage
There must be hope in our sight
For every wrong there is right
A pitbull's just a dog
And in the eyes of God
Every creature needs some love
Some help when time's are tough
Now you will rest in peace
From your suffering released
Let your death not be in vain
Save the helpless in your name
How could anyone not see your pain?
It's not a crime and you were not to blame
And the whole world's waiting for change
Action is louder than rage
There must be hope in our sight
For every wrong there is right
And the whole world's waiting for change, change!
Action is louder than our rage
There must be hope in our sight
For every wrong there is right, right, right!
Waiting for change...
