Plot
Jeremiah Ward, a hot shot New York money manager, turns off the highway, straight into his past. In rural New Hampshire, he discovers confusing clues and ghostly reminders of not only people he knew forty years ago, but of the person he once was: an idealist, a visionary, whose clarity grew dimmer with each acquisition and every brilliant move on the career chess board. Exit 22-A seems to represent a portal connecting him with the values and virtue left behind, but it turns out to be much more. Melody, the daughter he never knew, has created the entire artifice, the road map and the cast of characters, determined to test Jeremiah's true convictions and to change his life. And, in doing so, saves it.

Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.
Someday when I'm over you and when I think I'm able to
Well I might try to be your friend again
Your restless heart and rovin' eyes my jealousy these endless fights
I've got to get out of your life or I will never mend
I guess I'll die a bit each day but I'm always dying anyway
And I don't have the heart to stay and I can't take the pain
I know we've tried to no avail our heaven now has turned to hell
The same old hurt we know so well and something's got to change
We both know it's got to end the passion's gone it's just pretend
And one of us has got to make the move
We might as well just give it up we've lost respect and there's no trust
And without this there's no real love it's just some sad excuse
I guess I'll die a bit each day but I'm always dying anyway
And there's nothing left but walk away ain't this a crying shame
A change of pace a change of heart a change of place a place to start
And we'll be better off apart our only chance is change
And we never will but something has to change
Someday when I'm over you and when I think I'm able to
When I will try to be your friend again
But I don't want to see your face till then
Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him
What made him choose to turn away
What makes us change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
Running around in your confusion
From the cradle to the grave
Aint got time to see the world go by
Where are you going
Always moving round in circles
Talking words that never end
Standing in the grip of madness
Why oh why
What are you saying
How can we choose to run away
How do we change our mind
See the perception turn around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
Realise this understanding
Move before it gets too late
Take this chance
Or life will pass you by
This is the only way
We must pull ourselves together
There's so much we must explain
Got to teach the children what is true
There is no other way
Why did we choose to turn away
Why did we change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
The incredible gift of life
Where the fire within burns bright
Every moment we live is true

Change change change see it all the time
Look look look
I could write a book about my life
Baby blue I love you
Look look look
I could write a book about my life
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Baby blue I love you
Blue blue blue
I could write a book about your life
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Change is coming just like the sun
Change change change see it all the time
Look look look
I could write a book about my life
Baby blue I love you
Look look look

Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Baby blue I love you
Blue blue blue
I could write a book about your life
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
Change is coming just like the sun
Change is coming you better run
And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you?re getting sick of it
But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now from things they never found
They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared
You can walk away and say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this
'Cause these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
Tonight we standed on our knees
To fight for what we worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?
It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in
We'll sing hallelujah!
We sang hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
You woke me up at 3:00 a.m.
To tell me about the fire
You said that she was more than a friend
You were consumed by your desire
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
Your love was here but now it's gone
And your eyes no longer want me
And now I can't hold back the dawn
And the truth that seems to haunt me
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Is change
The only thing
That stays the same
Is change
I'm not so sure where I have been
I don't know just where I'm going
Hard as I hold it in my hand
I can stop the wind from blowing
And so it goes
This too shall pass away
It cuts so strange
Roll me away
It cuts so strange
The only thing that stays the same
Oh My love
You say nothing's wrong
You say you love me
What we've got is so strong
But I know someone else is loving you
Baby, if yOu don't really love me
Just say we're through
CHORUS: You know I had to realize
your love was just a game
Oh, change
Now I've gonna to take the time to stop
and rearrange
Change
I've got to walk away from you
Before I lose my mind
I need a change
'Cause all I'm going to do with you is
just keep wasting time
Did you lie when you said
Your love was mine
Or was I being foolish
'Cause my heart was blind
Sometimes I feel like
Just holding you would make things ok
But now I see
The price of loving you
I'll have to pay
CHORUS
BRIDGE: Somebody said
You don't love me no more baby
I don't know
Why you're hurt me the way
you're hurt me
Right now I know the truth about
you are your new lover
I'm running for cover
So you can say what you wa to say
Say what you're gonna do
I can't stand the way you treat me
I'm giving up on you.
CHORUS
REPEAT BRIDGE
CHORUS
you can take my soul
and you can rape my mind
play the starring role
so thick with fright
you can smash it all
for your own delight
and you can sell it all
for a ticket out of here
you need change
in your life
let the game begin
for this blatent sin
money talks for sure
in a world so poor
you need change
in your life, in your life
you need change
but, they want to get you everything that you need
and they wanna...
you can change your rhyme
so it flows with mine
broken thought's your crime
dream away, dream away
you could steal a gun
maybe shot someone
broken thought's your crime
yes, i hate to see you smile
you need change
in your life, in your life
you need change
but, they want to get you everything that you need
and they want to slice all your pride
but you are ready for this crime
you need change
you need change in your life
you need change
you need change in your life
you could steal a gun
maybe shot someone
broken thought's your crime
yes, i hate to see you smile
they want to get you everything that you need
and they want to slice all your pride
but you are ready for this crime
change
in your life, in your life
you need change
but, they want to get you everything that you need
I've got an angel
She doesn't wear any wings
She wears a heart that can melt my own
She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing
She gives me presents
With her presence alone
She gives me everything I could wish for
She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home
She could make angels
I've seen it with my own eyes
You gotta be careful when you've got good love
Cause the angels will just keep on multiplying
But you're so busy changing the world
Just one smile and you can change all of mine
We share the same soul
Oh oh oh ohhh
We Share the same soul
Oh oh oh ohhh
We Share the same soul
Oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh ohhh
You keep runnin but theres no escape
You try move but your lying in the way
You look around and all your friends
Have been through what your doin'
And your doin it all thinkin'
Everything is gonna change
But life ain't gonna wait you can fight it but you know
Never will change ain't nothin' gonna change till you
change
You're goin' out tonight been up two days
You're dead inside but you're still awake
You walk around and everybody's tellin' you you're
beautiful
And your doin' it all thinkin'
Everything is gonna change
But life ain't gonna wait you can fight it but you know
Never will change ain't nothin' gonna change
Till you change so far away from your home
No voice of reason completely alone
You know your shadow wont keep you warm
I'll do anythin' for you, for you I'll change the world
No more wars, no more poverty, no more hurt, no more pain
You've shown me how to love again
For you I change the world, Pain sing
If I could change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really somethin' good
Baby if I could change, if I could change
If I could change the world, the world, the world, the world
There would be no more wars
Opportunity knockin' on doors for us, for us
Nobody ain't known each other
Fighters turn into lovers for us, for us
And when the moonlight turns to sunshine
Everybody wakin' up to a better dream
'Cause everybody need what they want
But don't want what they need
Let's talk about you, now think changin' the world
If I could change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really somethin' good baby
If I could change, if I could change
If I could change the world, the world, the world, the world
If I could change the world I'd order
For the line to be erased at the border this day
Everyone deserves an opportunity
There'd be no new world order
And nobody would've never got slaughtered that way
That means so much more love and unity
Daughters will be close to their mothers
Sons will be raised by their fathers today
A good family ain't nothin' greater
Race crimes, hate crimes will never exist
I'll turn every bullet to a Hershey's kiss
And we can eat away our fears
If I could change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change, if I could change
If I could change the world, the world, the world, the world
There will be no self-hate
We will all have to love everythin' all by ourselves
Yeah, so we can love everyone else
Nothin' would hold us down
Because we'll all walk around with a smile and never frown
And that will remove the cloud
There'll be no more self-loathin'
Everyone will know in their hearts that they're just fine
And that's when the light's gonna shine
Everyone will understand
That in order to have some peace you must believe
Believe the best in you, if I could change
If I could change the world I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really somethin' good
Baby if I could change, if I could change
If I could change the world, the world, the world, the world
Don't you ever wonder why, nothing ever seems to change
If it does it's for the worse, seems it's just a modern curse
Sometimes when I take a peek outside of my little cage,
Everyone looks so asleep, will they die before they wake
And, hey. . . Don't you know? We're just products of our time and Hey . . .
What d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Better dumb and happy than smart and without any friends
Better cute and better loud, better join up with the crowd
Keep up or be left behind, there's a dust storm in my mind
Seems I can't see straight these days, doesn't matter anyway
Hey . . . Don't you know? We're just products of our times and
Hey, what d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Hey, what d'ya say? Hey, what d'ya say? Please don't ever -
Oh God, here's that question now. The one that makes me go insane
I'd gladly tear my heart out if you never, never, never, never change
Do you want to change? Do you want to change right now?
Do you want to change . . . I like my stupid life, just the way it is
And I wouldn't even change it for a thousand flying pigs
And I like you just the way you are, I like your face just the way it is
And I wouldn't even change it for a herd of screaming kids
And I like you just the way you are, I like you though you may not like me back
I would dazzle you with brilliance, if I only had the knack
'Cause I like you just the way you are, I like this life just the way it is
And the castles all around me, have been melting now for years
And it kills my brain to think of all the time I wasted here
All the efforts, sweat, and broken hearts, the screaming and the tears
And I'm dreaming again . . . Floating in a pool of mud
Try to get back where I was and I don't really care
Got a little talking to, by the mirror in my room, and I don't really care . . .
Whispering voices from the dead, come from underneath my bed
And I don't really care . . .
I like my stupid life just the way it is
And the chaos that surrounds me like a flock of screaming pigs
And it hurts my brain to think of all the stupid things I've said
And if I could change the future I would change the past instead
And I'm dreaming again . . . and I'm dreaming again . . .
Baby - sometimes I worry about you
Sometimes you're so far away, tell me what to do
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about you
Sometimes I just can't believe everything you do
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about you
Every day I feel the same, don't you feel it too
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me
Seems I'm falling down a lot, in between the scenes
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me
Getting harder all the time, harder now to see
I say, Baby . . . sometimes I worry about me
Light another cigarette, have another dream
It's the same thing every day, nothing ever seems to change and I . . .
Do you really want to change?
Testaments and growing pains. Tranquilizers for the soul.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained - evolution's cruelest joke
Why is everyone upset? I once knew but I forget. Something happened,
Something strange, something it appears has changed
Hey . . . Don't you know? We're just products of our times
And hey, what d'ya say? Show me yours, I'll show you mine
Hey, what d'ya say? Hey, what d'ya say? Please don't ever -
Oh God, here's that question now, the one that makes me go insane
Talking about you
Down at Gino's
He said he'd seen you
Fooling around with John
Well what do you think
That you're doing with that loser
He's never one for hanging around too long
Something has gone wrong
And I can see the change in you
I was thinking maybe I should call you
We need to talk about the way you act
We've got to sit down
And work it out together
Cause you've changed and,
baby, that's a fact
Why do you seem so amused
You never used to be so cruel
Why am I confused
If you knew that you would die today
Saw the face of god and love
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low that you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?
How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change
If you knew that you would be alone
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would find a truth
That would bring a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?
How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change
Are you so up right
You can't be bent
If it comes to blows
Are you so sure you won't be crawling
If not for the good why why risk falling
Why risk falling?
If everything you think you know
Makes your life unbearable
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you'd broken every rule and vow
And hard times come to bring you down
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and loved
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you saw the face of God and loved
If you saw the face of God and loved
Would you change?
Would you change?
You done had it with this, if broke is a habit I guess you back at it again
You need a change
Man you need some answers cause you just lost your moms to cancer
You really need a
You done tried almost all the drugs
And from Vegas to NY you been to all the clubs. You wanna change
You tried new shoes and clothes
But after while you still low so you know you gotta change
Maybe if you could get a new you or new crew, a new do, that would suit your change
.A new somebody to lay with
Cause the last 5 just ain't make it they all betta change
A brand new car on sixes the one you got now needs fixing and plus an oil change
You tried a new place
New clothes, new tastes
New ways, new face but you still need a change
You don't really know what you were put here for but before you go
You looking for a change
You trying find a home you can call your own cause you way too grown to making that chump change
Life's too short you been down to long
Now you got oprah on thinking maybe she can help you out your hopeless zone
She gone change you
You even tried the church the pastor gave you bunch of rules they ain't seem to work
You don't change
You tried another one tho that gotcha feeling good inside and gotcha runnin fa mo and mo change
But all about you not God not truth
Just because you wear the suit don't mean you been changed
Christ is just a means to money, plus health
Your like the master and hes the dummy
No change
Well if not that... then maybe it's better to be confused and forget all facts and all change
Still been chasing change, and look where it gotchu depressed ain't a thang not u ain't making no...
You tried to find God
The horoscopes and stars
Ain't get very far
So far no change
What if life ain't supposed to be gravy, fulla hurt pain, death, rape, murder and craziness
If God made everything Good then you still gotta live in the hood what's really good
It goes back to Adam in Eden when he ate that fruit believin somehow that he could
Man disobeys God now both are at odds
And life is just hard cause our hearts need
You can't find hope in cars
Hope in money, or people
Only hope in God he can change you
Jesus felt the pain, he was hated, hurt, slandered and slain his death brought
Be a slave to your sin, hate God love money, love lies, Christ died so you can be changed
It's kinda fun for a while but you'll lose that smile
When your lights go out
Looking through the windowshade,
Stare at streets that bare no name,
Now it all looks strange to me,
Yesterday seems like a dream,
But i often try too hard,
To break the routine of my day,
Turn around see what i see,
Can't help wishing it could.
Change, Change, again,
Unchain myself, i will.
See the faces in the crowd,
Busy streets they move around,
Underground seems such a drag,
Waiting still and then we change,
The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse.
Tomorrow till tomorrow comes.
As it drags me there i feel,
A sence of urgency unviel,
Whats in store for us today,
Read the papers drift away.
Change, we change again,
We change, again,
Unchain myself,
I will.
Oh how i hate to feel this way,
The more i wait to see it change,
The more i see the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse.
Dog comes howling up behind you, sinks his teeth in your leg
Tells you how now things are going to be a little different
And he takes you down a peg
You make him ashamed for you, he buys you a new dress
Because you make him ashamed for you, he'd like you to took your best
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the dog bites down a little harder
Somewhere out in the wild wild west
That silly little thing that we tossed, tossed, tossed
Somehow we don't talk about nothing else but that
Silly little thing that we lost, that we lost, that we lost
And now there's no name for you
Come to find out none of that shit was even true
But now there's no name for you
I understand that we lost that too
When you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the dog bites down a little harder
Change ...........
Man says "Woman I'm a little tired of you"
And she says "Don't leave me baby I'll do anything you want me to"
He says "Can't you do something about the mess around this place"
And she says "Anything baby, anything, I'll cover my face"
You make him ashamed for you, he buys you a new dress
Cause you make him ashamed for you in your nakedness
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh

I am lost in the see-thru, I think you lost yourself too,
Throughout all of this confusion, I hope I somehow get to you,
I practiced all the things I'd say, To tell you how I feel,
And when I finally get my chance, It all seems so surreal,
'Cause from the first time I saw you, I only thought about you,
I didn't know you, I wanted to hold onto, The things you'd never say to me,
'Cause you said
You can't change the way you feel,
I could never do that, I could never do that,
But you can't tell me this ain't real,
'Cause this is real
And you would see right through that,
In the end it's all I've got, So I'm gonna hold onto that,
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on,
Now you've got me watching your eyes,
Got me waiting just to see, If it goes the way it never will,
Your eyes are watching me, and now you've got me thinking 'bout,
The first time that I met you, Standing in a crowded room,
But I could only see you, And I hope my words will get through,
'Cause now I can't forget you, I want to tell you,
If only I could reach you, And make you feel this way,
Just think about what you and I have been through
And tell me why I should not be afraid
I said don't want to hear about the promises they told us
I don't wanna hear about the progress that they made
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Well fear not, cause my fear soon turns to anger
As I watch my world get ruined by a pristine hand
And I'm out here, saying Excuse me like a stranger
Cause I never did learn how to say Isn't this grand
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Black cat
Squashed flat... pretty gory
Came to play
Swept away... no big story
We shall overcome is what they tell us
But the sun goes down and dawns just too many times
That's all right, don't worry, in God do we trust
Besides, you went and got yours, so I guess I'll just go get mine
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Slow change
You see
You feel
You know
React
You're waiting
You're waiting
Change
If ever, you had said to me before
That I would live this life
That I am livin' now I guess, it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inside
And have so much that I could feel
Some pride for in my life
So why is it that I feel like this?
How do I feel? I've been here before
I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me
I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me
To torment again and torture me like
It used to
I try and try to break away
From all the hate, I'm feelin'
For everyone of you that's ever
Done me wrong
I need to justify the reasons
For the way I'm livin'
I guess, I can't cause I don't feel like I deserve
How do I feel? I've been here before
I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me
I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me
To torment again and torture me like
It used to
So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding, I can't take away
All the shame I feel, forgive me
How do I feel? I've been here before
I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me
I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me
To torment again and torture me like
People talking
And they're saying that you're leaving
You're so unhappy
With the way that you've been living
Oh-oh-oh, we always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (Change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same
What's in your heart will never change
Look in the mirror
And you see how you've been taken
Ooh, you won't surrender
But now your heart is breakin'
Oh-oh-oh, we always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (Change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same
What's in your heart will never change
Do you remember
When you got your lucky break?
You're looking back now
And it seems like a mistake
Oh-oh-oh, we always wish for money
We always wish for fame
We think we have the answers
Some things ain't ever gonna change (Change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same
What's in your heart will never change
It's only change (Change)
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same
What's in your heart will never change
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (Change)
What's in your heart will stay the same
It doesn't matter who you are
It's all the same (What's in your heart)
It's only, it's only, it's only change
Never (It doesn't matter)
Change, change, change, change
(Let's get it together)
(We gotta make it better)
Change, change, change, change
(Let's get it together)
(Let's make a change)
We the people have the right
To set about a change in life
Everyone has a destiny
If I can take it upon myself
To plant a seed and give some help
There is better way to achieve
I wanna stand up and tell the world
I just wanna shout it out
I know we can change
'Cause things don't always stay the same
If we take the time to look inside
Show our children through our eyes
What it means to be, united we stand
Don't keep looking back on a lost
Move ahead and don't fall short
As one we can create our promised land
Don't fed another blame
Lay your path away
Step on when you're feeling safe
I wanna change
Don't waste your time away
We are one and the same
Step on when you're feeling safe
I wanna change
I wanna stand up and tell the world
I just wanna shout it out
I know we can change
'Cause things don't always stay the same
Don't you wanna change?
Everybody can change
I know that we can change
I know that we can make a change
And we can find the way
I know that we can change
I wanna stand up and tell the world
I just wanna shout it out
I know we can change
'Cause things don't always stay the same
I wanna stand up and tell the world
Just wanna shout it out
I know we can change
'Cause things don't always stay the same
We got to change
We need to change
Come on, change
Why don't you, why don't you change?
I wanna change
Things don't always stay the same
Said we can get it together
And make a change
What we got here is not a fool's dream
Really feel the need
We've come to ground like prisoners on the run
Just minutes away from freedom
Ain't no use in fooling ourselves
We really feel the need
Whatever it takes, nothing will be too much
We both long for better days
Baby we're different as the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Left with the tears and the paralyzing fear
That brings us to our knees
Change, bring on the changes
Change, bring on the changes
It's no pretending, no denying
When you really feel the need
Got to hang on and be strong
Turn the tables, make the change
The two of us, it's different as the seasons
Never ever giving reasons
Left with the tears and the paralyzing fear
That brings us to our knees
Change, bring on the changes
Change, bring on the changes
Change, bring on the changes
Change, bring on the changes
There's gotta be some give and take
If we ever gonna make a change
Change, bring on the changes
Change, bring on the changes
Change, bring on the changes
Change, bring on the changes
If I could hold you close
Like you were never gone
If I could hear your voice
You'd tell me to be strong
But sometimes
I just can't
I just don't understand
Why you had to go
Why you had to go
I guess I'll never know
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
The same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change
If I could get to you
I feel it in the air
My world don't make no sense
Not without you in it
And sometimes
I just find
Can't say I
Don't know why
Why'd you have to go?
Why'd you have to go?
And leave me here alone
And leave me here alone
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
The same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change
You don't see it coming
Change
When the future comes knocking
It changed
It can make you or break you too
You'd just have to make it through
(You'd just have to make it through)
Ain't it funny how you think
You're gonna be OK
Till you remember things ain't never
Gonna be the same again
The same again
Ain't it crazy how you think
You've got your whole life planned
Just to find that it was never ever
In your hand
In your hand
Change
Change, change
Change, it's time for change
Change, nothing stays the same
Change, it's time for change
Change, nothing stays the same
Something new is happening in the 80's
Just for you but you can't get lazy
All you do is just make up your mind
It's time
The key to life is your attitude
Make sure you doing what you wanna do
And watch your goals unfold right before your eyes
Yes, oh, yeah
Education don't forget it
'Cause if you do, you will regret it
Technology has gone stone mad
If you missed this that's tough to bear
But it talks no doubt about it
And push it more, nothing without it
Don't let your life just slip away
Oh, you've got to say it
Change

I won't change, I don't want to be like you
Why would I want to be like you?
The cutouts shout their insults as I'm walking down the hall,
Turn around and tell them to 'go back to the shopping mall'
I won't change I won't change,
I want to be strange
Why would I want to be like you?
Your comments and oppinions don't mean anything to me
I like the way I do things, so don't try to change me
I am the road I walk alone
exposed and turned to stone
a heart without a home
Walk for miles to walk away
a new life every day
to welcome come what may
Turn around and make the change
turn it round and love will happen
you took a lifetime to find
the change
I am the wall I built along
the line that I have drawn
so cold and dark and strong
resistant to all love and hate
so tragic and so great
no heart to penetrate
Turn around and make the change
turn it round and love will happen
you took a lifetime to find
the change
Leave you standing on my shore
to watch this ocean roar
a sea you can't cross over
a racing tide to wash away
the gift of better days
with words that you might say
Turn around and make the change
turn around and make the change
turn it round and love will happen
you took a lifetime to find
If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn_t change a single thing
Cos if I changed my world into another place
I wouldn_t see your smiling face
Honey don_t you worry, there_s nothin to worry for
Cos If I didn_t love you I wouldn_t be here now
And Iif I didn_t want you I would have turned around by now.
You_ve got to believe me babe, believe that I love you so
Cos if I didn_t love you, I would have turned around
And if I didn_t wnat you, then I would want you out.
This loe, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I_ll never give you up
Cos I_ll always want your love
Believing is the answer, the answer to all your fearsWhen I first said I loved you, I want in for the kilol
Now when I say I love you, I mean I always will
This love, this love has filled me up
Ooh my love I_ll never give you up
Cos I_lla lways want your love
If I could change the way I live my life today
I wouldn_t change a single thing
Cos if I changed my world into another place
I said what is that you're saying today
The exact opposite of yesterday
It's funny how things can change
And your mind gets rearranged
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
When I look your way I don't know what to say
Cause you change your style almost every day
It's funny the way things went down
Cause you're the one still stuck in this town
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
I'm gonna break it down, and I gotta let you know
To you life is just a fashion show
That's the way I feel inside
That makes me laugh at how hard that you try
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
What will you do
What will you say
Does it depend on what they're doing that day
It just you know used to be somehow you lost yourself
You've lost yourself
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Is there even time for change
Or is it just one following another
I said what is that you're saying today
The exact opposite of yesterday
It's funny how things can change
And your mind gets rearranged
Tell me what should I do
Tell me what should I say
Yeaaaa..uhhh
I like the way that sounds

Check Check
Nigga you feelin like a frog when you jump
One leap will bring ya from the bar to the trunk
From the trunk to the dump
Ima rain on em, put the chump on a slump
Like a rib shot, thats what the customers want
Dont ya?, This aint ya typical story
Thefore i dont fall in the category
Im cool, calm and collective, Yukon or the Lexis
Blue chronic for breakfast, to match with the necklace
Dimes all way down till the rats wanna check this
Reckless, born treacherous, sworn specialist
Especially, if ya rest next to me
Nigga come testin me youll get the gun recipe
These old niggas want the new born sound
Actin like they dont know who hold New York down
Yea i use to buy knicks, ten years later
Now im super fly slick without a roof on my whip, shit
I slip 100 proof till im ripped
And wave at the haters, got em root canal sick
Tell me you niggas like to make a scene so the lamas close
That kind of shit dont fly like Mama jokes
We got em long, short, all kind of toast
Boy i done left shit trails all around the coast
To places you gettin 'round by boat
I get a pound, i smoke, i put it down, im dope
Im on scope when i pass the block, i make traffic stop
A product of everything that made the apple rott
This apple jacks, way long before the platnium plaques
The pro-tools and the wax
Take a step back before ya catch a contact
The flow's like a M-16 wit the arm strapped
Ima bomb on these niggas till they cant bomb back
The hiroshima demeanor, microphone crack
Alot of shit has changed since i came
Yall done came around here fuckin up the game
Therefore i aint servin nuttin but the pain
You playin, im hungier than a mothafucka man
Rob a store before you walk around poor
Cause you aint gettin from me you grown boy
You fuelin up my fire when you hate
So Ima lean on you till you make a mistake
I cant wait
And to the curtains close
its just me, the tooly, and them purple O's,
Endo overload, drive like i own the roads
these niggas is puss, thats why my shoulders cold
Mac by the toilet bowl
Im ridin filthy in the Beamer
Cause i can have lima and a colina bring it to a misdemeanor
You drown in deep water
Every nigga around come from the street corner
Where you need your heat on ya
Im on recline while my next CD climb
South Side greedy dine, red wine, DB 9
NYPD grind, why?, it aint a easy grind
A nigga try to get mine ima feed him nine
And its graffiti time, niggas sprayin your mural
For tryin to be a muthafuckin hero
Im fresh, fly and flashy, best guy if you ask me
Jet by on em nasty, nigga you in a taxi
I cant wait
Alot of shit has changed since i came
Yall done came around here fuckin up the game
Therefore i aint servin nuttin but the pain
You playin, im hungier than a mothafucka man
Rob a store before you walk around poor
Cause you aint gettin from me you grown boy
You fuelin up my fire when you hate
So Ima lean on you till you make a mistake
I cant wait
Ha Ha haaaaaaaaaaaa
Yeaaa, ugh, GGGGG-Unit
I used to think life was just a waste, so many limitations but there's so much around to taste but change and motivation turned my life around all the time I though I lost has suddenly been found Chorus:Its time to change no one can do it for you It's time to change get up off your ass and see what's around you its time to change think of what your missing its time to change get off your couch and shut off your tv so many things to do and so much more to see no one lives forever so what are you waiting for nothing gets done whining and no one likes a bore
You walked into the room, I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool, you were a photograph
When it's all too late, it's all too late
I did not have the time, I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel, is this what you deserve?
When it's all too late, it's all too late
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
And something on your mind became a point of view
I lost your honesty you lost the life in you
When it's all too late, it's all too late
We walk and talk in time, I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me become the start of you
When it's all too late, it's all too late
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
What has happened to
The friend that I once knew?
Has he gone away?
When it's all too late, it's all too late
Change
Change
You can change
Change
You can change
Well the stars are out tonight
And I got no where to go
Well my no where is somewhere
You really don't wanna know
And in the morning
I'll be at the stoplight
Looking kinda strange
Asking for forgivness and
Begging for some change
Begging for a change
That will turn my life around
Change that will put my feet on the ground
Change that will make everything okay
Well I don't like standing here
With a bucket and a sign
And I haven't seen my family
In a very long time
And I don't mean to make you feel guilty
On top of all your stress and strain
Like me your praying to the lord above
Begging for some change
Yea your begging for a change
That will turn your life around
Change that will put your feet on the ground
Change that will make everything okay
For a change of the good of everyone
Change for the love of everyone
Change that will make everything allright
And don't act like you don't see me
Cause brother I know you do
How about a little donation
I wanna help you too
For a change that will turn your life around
A change that will put your feet on the ground
A change that will make everything okay
Yes it will
Well I got no room for a sofa
And I got no tv
But I got this little lady
A kind stranger that came to me
And I heard about the bloody school yards
And the questions of who to blame
I hear the children crying for a change
Begging for a change
Yea their begging for a change
That will turn their life around
Change that will put their feet on the ground
I won't change, I don't want to be like you
Why would I want to be like you?
The cutouts shout their insults as I'm walking down the hall,
Turn around and tell them to 'go back to the shopping mall'
I won't change I won't change,
I want to be strange
Why would I want to be like you?
Your comments and oppinions don't mean anything to me
The world is full of fools
who never get it right
You don't know what to do
so you do anything you like
[put your foot down and drive]
Oh you're a silly thing
[put your foot down and drive]
You're such a pretty thing
[put your foot down and drive]
You're never going to be like all those fools
You're coming out tonight
There's nothing to lose
You're going to give it all a try
Don't ever change
Don't ever change [never change]
No never change [never change]
Never change
[don't ever change]
The world is full of fools
take wisdom to the wise
And thank your lucky stars
for coming out tonight
[put your foot down and drive]
Oh you're a silly thing
[put your foot down and drive]
You're such a pretty thing
[put your foot down and drive]
Don't ever change
Don't ever change [never change]
No never change [never change]
Never change
[don't ever change]
When tearful eyes
Are open wide
They're still to blind to see
A change in style
For a little while
Is only make believe
[put your foot down and drive]
Oh you're a silly thing
[put your foot down and drive]
You're such a pretty thing
[put your foot down and drive]
You're never satisfied
So look for something new
There's nothing to hide
And nothing you can do
Don't ever change
Don't ever change [never change]
No never change [never change]
Never change
[don't ever change]
Oh you fool you've got me started
Oh you fool you've got me started
Oh you fool you've got me started
[Don't you ever change]
Oh you fool you've got me started
Talking about you
Down at Gino's
He said he'd seen you
Fooling around with John
Well what do you think
That you're doing with that loser
He's never one for hanging around too long
Something has gone wrong
And I can see the change in you
I was thinking maybe I should call you
We need to talk about the way you act
We've got to sit down
And work it out together
Cause you've changed and,
baby, that's a fact
Why do you seem so amused
You never used to be so cruel
Why am I confused
I can't believe it
She starts the day, paints on another happy face.
Gets all dressed up to meet her friends at the usual place.
All the the while she's longing
Just wants to belong.
If you change the colour of your world,
And you change the fears you hold inside.
Will you find what you are looking for?
Change for you, not for me.
Found everything, she wants that money can buy.
But she is lost somewhere in between the lines.
Ohhh inside she's crying.
Her whole world is dying.
If you change the colour of your world,
And you change the fears you hold inside.
Will you find what you are looking for?
Change for you, not for me.
Change not for herself
For someone else
The way she walks
The way she talks
The way she smiles
What she believes
The way she breathes
If you change the colour of your world,
And you change the fears you hold inside.
Will you find what you are looking for?
Change for you, not for me.
Change for you
Don't change for me
Change for you
I see the world - it's rotten now. Cause everyone believes the waves. All things are wrong - nothing's right - and all the shapes are rumbling in their caves. You can't change the world, but you change yourself. You better live your life before you're dead. The might makes blind to everyone. Corruption is reality, you ar the enemy no. one, if you don't want confirmity.
What'cha gonna do with the 36 cents
Sticky with Coke on your floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
On a sidewalk vent trying to keep warm
Do you call her over hand her the change
Ask her a story ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
What'cha gonna do when you're watching t.v.
And an ad comes on
Yeah you know the kind
Flashin' up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day you can save a life
Do you call the number reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel call it a scam
Or do you tell yourself
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
The worlds so big it could break your heart
And you just wanna help
But not sure where to start
so you close your eyes
Send up a prayer into the dark
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
To believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is alive
Don't you listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool
Respect people, respect god
Respect yourself cause
The son is on the cross
Where's your real faith in god
Respect! Respect! Respect!
Jesus died for all of us!
It's time, it's time, it's time to realize!
It's time to realize!
You gotta change your life
Just one step to the light
You gotta change your life
Make that fuckin' step to the light!
Time is near
You don't have to fear
I'm just tryin' to help you
Do I make myself clear?!
The begining of the end
In the air
Stay! Stay! Stay!
Hear what I wanna say!
It's time, it's time, it's time to realize!
It's time to realize!
It's time, it's time, it's time to realize!
It's time to realize!
You gotta change your life
Just one step to the light
You gotta change your life
Make that fuckin' step to the light!
You gotta change your life
Just one step to the light
You gotta change your life
In a world of frozen icons
A Truth is buried deep
In a place of abandon
My love for You grows so weak
In a life where mornings aren't beginnings
My chance is erased
In a time where the killer is the victim
I see Belief laid to waste
But nothing stays the same
Life is just a mortal chain
No there's never room for change
In our definition of the Human Race
I look into a dark tomorrow
I feel the blade against my arm
But in a flash of Divinity's Brilliance
A certain death is undone
We're all - Social Commentators
We're all - Funeral Meditators
But we could be more
Our pain He has bore
But nothing stays the same
Life is just a mortal chain
No there's never room for change
In our definition of the Human Race
No nothing stays the same
But an empty life seems so insane
Yes Salvation made the change
There's people freezing
Out on the streets
Nowhere to turn
Nowhere to sleep - change
Change
Change
Change
Change
You say they're worthless
Just let em die
Let's see you out there
Let's watch you die
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change, Change, Change,
Change, Change, Change,
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change the world)
Can somebody help me? (change the world)
Everyday I saw you there chillen on the corner
Puffin on crack and marijauna
Because I know how your life is
Nobody just be guidin, no
Hope to see black people living longer
Also less kids without fathers
We should all come together
Please stop fighting and killing eachother
Its what happens when your living in the street life
Its so dark and you dont get sunlight
People seeing why you dont get treated right
But ima try to change it
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change the world)
Can somebody help me? (change the world)
Many people living off welfare
Hoping things get better next year
But I'm covered in tears
So many sick without health care
Too many innocent people dyin'
And I dont know why
You gotta keep your eyes open even when your rollin'
As days go by
Its what happens when your living in the street life
Its so dark and you dont get sunlight
People seeing why you dont get treated right
But ima try to change it
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Somebody change the world
We've got little boys and little girls
Growing up on this sinful earth
Oh whats happening?
I dont know, but please tell me
We've got all these criminals and discretes
Killin people for no reason
I dont know why
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But im just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change, change, change)
all my life been holding on to nothing
all my hopes were castles in the sand
i've read words with no comprehension
i've had dreams i don't understand
here i am falling down
all i want is a comforting hand
giving the same as anybody out there
living on guilt 'stead of living on prayer
keep the fire lit i'm making that change for you
kicking the ground with every step that i take
letting you down with every promise i break
don't let go i'm making that change for you
time goes on to help you find the answers
why you're alive and where you go
life goes on but you don't stop to wonder
what there is that you still don't know
here i am growing old
i've got to hold that comforting hand
giving the same as anybody out there
living on guilt 'stead of living on prayer
keep the fire lit i'm making that change for you
kicking the ground with every step that i take
letting you down with every promise i break
change, change, change
change, change, change
If I were your brother
could I spill your blood on me
We, who share a mother
would we spite the sons
she sees?
Walls are crumbling
cities are burning
the presidents on tv
bombs are falling
the fire is rain
as walls close in on me
change, change, change
change, change, change
If Fate brought out a leader
would you kill him for your cause
Though he be your sole salvation
pull the trigger without pause
Faith is crumbling
cities are burning
the war's on cable tv
Hope is falling
the fire is rain as
walls come down on me
change, change, change
change, change, change
If there's one solution
there could be one for every man
who cries for constitution
finds belief inside of "can"
The clouds are lifting
The houses, the homes
The soaps are on tv
and me, asleep somewhere
in this country
basking in the dream
change, change, change
(s. macdonald)
Hey - be wary of your heroes
They will always disappoint you
Ok I know that you are lonely
You're reaching out but only - they don't even respect you
Now I don't mean to make you feel sad
But I feel down when they treat you so bad
Always another passing fancy
And you only call me when you're feeling down
They, they all get to hold you
I get to console you if no one else is around
Now I don't mean to scare you away
But I have a need that won't go away
Oh no - be wary of your heroes
Again I don't want to hear it
Don't want to be near it, it only tears me apart
So now, call me yours or let me go
Call me yours or let me know and let me make a new start
Now I don't mean to scream at the stars
But you dodge the truth like so many passing cars
Oh no - be wary of your heroes
Change the way the wind blows
Change the way the wind blows
The wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?
Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now
All those things we said
I want to know can I still creep into your bed at night?
Leave your head alone
Well, the wind is cold tonight
Or so I am told
I don't really know, no
And as I kill my life
There's nothing left to show
How does that blow hit you?
And if I change am I denying what was said?
If I remain the same
am I creating greater problems instead?
Do you ever think you're being thought about?
Do you still believe we need to sort things out?
Does it matter now
All those things we said
I want to know can I still creep into your bed at night?
I don't feel the sun's comin' out today
It's staying in, it's gonna find another way, yeah, hey
As I sit here in this misery
I don't think I'll ever no long' seen the sun from here
And, oh, as I fade away
They'll all look at me and say and they'll say
"Hey, look at him", I'll never live that way
And that's okay, they're just afraid to change
Ah, when you feel life ain't worth living
You've got to stand up and take a look around
You look up way to the sky
Hey and when your deepest thoughts are broken
Keep on dreaming boy, 'cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die
And as we all play parts of tomorrow, oh, no, no
Some ways we'll work, in other ways we'll play, yeah, yeah
But I know we can't all stay here forever, oh
So I want to write my words on the face of today
And then they'll paint it up
And, oh, as I fade away, yeah
They'll all look at me and say, they'll say
"Hey, look at him and where he is these days"
When life is hard, you have to change
You
Who made the whole world with your hand
Walked along this land
Humbled as a man
You came down
and you changing the water to wine
Gave your greatest sign
By changing lives like mine
How did You know
I'd eventually go
And take you for the Lord of my life?
I'm so glad for
You
How did you stand the shame
When they laughed at your name
Your Father felt such pain
Well how'd you take it
But You
Spoke not a word to defend
Cause they'd see in the end
When you rose again
Whenever you spoke
All the demons awoke
And would tremble with fear at your sight
And you
Loving a world filled with hate
And though the hour is late
You still chose to wait
But it won't be long until
You
Take the whole world by surprise
They won't believe their eyes
When You come through the skies
When You return
All the foolish will learn
That they waited too long to decide
Don't wait too long to decide
Change is gonna come
You better welcome it
Change is gonna come
And gonna set you free
Change is gonna come
You better welcome it
Change is gonna come
And it is gonna set you free
The car stalls at the side of the road
Don't know if I'll make it home again
Well I know if you tried something new
You can win this little heart of mine
And didn't it feel right to scream?
And didn't it good to walk away?
And didn't it feel right to scream, "it's bullshit"?
And didn't it good to walk away?
Change is gonna come
You better welcome it
Change is gonna come
And gonna set you free
Change is gonna come
You better welcome it
Change is gonna come
And it is gonna set you free
The bright lights might have all been a lie
It must have been some kind of dream
Well I was thinking about our fight
I know there's more than one way to love me
Change is gonna come
You better welcome it
Change is gonna come
And gonna set you free
Change is gonna come
You better welcome it
Change is gonna come
And it is gonna set you
Change is gonna come
And didn't it feel right to scream, "it's bullshit"?
And didn't it good to walk away?
I don't feel the suns comin' out today
its staying in, its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery, I don't
think I'll ever see the sun from here.
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,
Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.
But that's okay
they're just afraid to change.
When you feel your life ain't worth living
you've got to stand up and
take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
so I want to write my words on the face of today.
and then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
Everyone is watching, everyone is waiting, everywhere we look now, all there is is hating
We just have no tolerance, we don't compromise, all we are is worthless objects, in our own damn eyes
Caring for each other, just does not exist, all we want to do is solve our problems with our fists....
So let's change this, rearrange this, don't contribute, try to change it
Be forgiving, to all living, because life's too short to hold a grudge for time, please just try...
Everyone is watching, everyone is waiting, no one's even hopeful, everyone's so jaded
Ooh, Ooh
Yeah
I can away my tears
I can walk outside with no fear of the rain
Even if nobody's here
I can pretend everybody's watching
And my life is the same
You can let go of my hand
I can walk on my own
Now I'm strong enough
And I'm wise enough
To know what I'm feeling
When you couldn't understand
You never left me alone
And all is better now forever now
Every wound is healing
Changing
The stars have realigned and I'm
Changing
The words and how they rhyme
Realizing who lost me
And knowing right where they should be
Keep by my side
If I'm wrong or right
He'll love me while (my life is changing)
You will never know my pain
I replaced it with a smile that's on my face
(You broke her heart) I forgot her name (I forgot her name)
Cause I'm the way I used to be
Nothing about me is the same
You can let go of my hand
I can walk on my own
Now I'm strong enough
And I wise enough
Ao know what I'm feeling
When you couldn't understand
You never left me alone
And all is better now forever now
Every wound is healing
Changing
The stars have realigned and I'm
Changing
The words and how they rhyme
Realizing who lost me
And knowing right where they should be
Keep by my side
If I'm wrong or right
He'll love me while (my life is changing)
Things that used to get me down
I don't worry about them now
I threw it all away
It was time to make a change
Don't want to be trap inside of yesterday
No way, cause of your love I'm ready to change
Oh, I'm ready to change
Oh yeah, I'm changing
[x2:]
Changing
The stars have realigned and I'm
Changing
The words and how they rhyme
Realizing who lost me
And knowing right where they should be
Keep by my side
If I'm wrong or right
You say you feel a chill in the season
Like something is falling apart
You say you can't hold it together much longer
And I should look after your heart
But I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
And it's bending your will like a willow tree twisting
Trying to regain its form
How does it make you feel
When you remember the times the two us lay here
In the arms of the world on the doorstep of heaven
shining down
Do you feel a change coming on,
Rolling out of the blue like a storm,
And it's throwing your dollhouse world in disarray
So you can rebuild or conform
How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you
My worth is the look in your eyes
My prize the smile playing tricks on your lips and I
wonder again
Do you ever dream of the world like I do
I too fear the change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Can you hear it scream at the hurt that I knew
How I wish you'd only see...
What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I've built around my pseudo
world premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just
pass along
I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity's
waiting alone
Bring in the change
(Bring in the change)
Bring in the change
Let yourself be in it
?Cos soon you?re gonna feel the change
There ain?t no way around it
Everything comes to an end
There ain?t no book to prove it
Your second chance is comin? in
Before you know it the moment is gone
It?ll be too late before too long
Raise your head and show that you?re strong
?Cos ya gotta, gotta, gotta keep on movin? on
Bring in the change
(Bring in the change)
Don?t ever allow it to fail
As long as the music remains the same
(Bring in the change)
Let yourself be in it
'Cos soon you?re gonna feel the change
Bring in the change
Growing older and wiser
With the knowledge to do better things
The more of us, the better and tighter
When we set about changing the scene
Every day you take another step
Just how crazy can it get
Before you know it the moment is gone
So ya gotta, gotta, gotta keep on movin? on
Bring in the change
(Bring in the change)
Don?t ever allow it to fail
As long as the music remains the same
(Bring in the change)
Let yourself be in it

(Change, change, change)
Change, change, change
Change, change, change

Change, change, change
(Bring in the change)
Change, change, change
As long as the music remains the same
(Bring in the change)
Let yourself be in it
As I stand here
I ponder greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of your lover's dreams
So much for your
Common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
As I sit here I'll tell you greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of someone else's dreams
So much for your
Common escalations
So much for your
Constant fabrications
For what's to come
It's all been written down, down, down
I said for what's to come
For what's to come your way
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time
I run around for you
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time now
I run around for you
Run around for you
But you've gotta keep on, keep it on
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you'll feel it in your soul
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you feel it in your soul
Feel it in your soul now
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?
As I lay here
I wanna fall asleep
No longer,
No longer a part of
A part of your TV screen
A part of your TV dreams
I said so much for your
So much for your
So much for your
Your common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come it's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I remember you back in 1992
When they were putting us down
Trying to tramp us into the ground
You exploded like a flame in the night
With a righteous indignation
Told us "everything gonna be alright"
Change come slowly like the ocean
But it keep on comin' nonetheless
Take my hand, oh dear companion
We may not find happiness
But peace and then some real contentment
And a measure of social justice
Oh change come slowly like the ocean
But they can't stop the tide
And they're never ever goin' to stop us
They've got the bullets and the guns
And the propaganda machine
All we ever had was an impossible dream
You stood tall as steel in the flaming night
Said "let us have no fear
The victors will be those who can the most endure
Sally came to me with flames in her eyes
And her long hair blowin' in the breeze
She said "dry up your tears, boy, we've been down too long
It's time we were up off our knees"
Oh the stars in the heavens are blazin' tonight
The moon she is glidin' on high
And the drum roll of liberty beats in my heart
As the warm winds of change blow by
Don't ask me to be a slave anymore
I couldn't be if I tried
For the pipes scream an anthem of hope in my heart
As the warm winds of change blow by
She moved like a ghost through the enemy lines
But her laugh was defiant and clear
She kissed me hard on the mouth and said "goodbye
Look through the square or round window
Now a change a gonna come
Whether you come by bus or underground
Still a change a gonna come
If you're north or if you're south
You know a change a gonna come
Whether by fax or word of mouth
Still a change a gonna come.
Meters peaking
Truth is leaking out into the sticks
Too late now no turning back now
'cos the switches have been flicked
Goalposts moving
Signposts pointing you the wrong way
They're screwing up
You're queuing up
Come back another day.
If you're old or if you're young
You know a change a gonna come
No matter where you come from
What colour - black, white or brown
Government man plan
Mash up in a britain
Criminal justice bill me bawl
Where them get it from?
Them can't understand
Just want to build up tension
But just watch the future
'cos a change a gonna come
Adf is here to show you how it should be done
And we know that this style is identical to none!
Yeah!
Bureaucrat, democrat, fatcat
Too long they've had their way
A breeze of sleaze coming to blow them away
Satellites crashing down on india
We say no way
Adf broadcasting
We no ramp we no play.
We get madddddddd.....
What them a say
What them a chat 'bout
This is reality man
You can't run adf out.
What them a do what them a talk 'bout
All of the politician run up on your mouth
Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that
never can happen again.
So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never
You keep runnin but theres no escape
You try move but your lying in the way
You look around and all your friends
Have been through what your doin
And your doin it all thinkin
Everything is gonna change
But life aint gonna wait you can fight it but you know it
Never will change aint nothin gonna change till you change
Your goin out tonight been up two days
Your dead inside but your still awake
You walk around and everybodys tellin you beautiful
And your doin it all thinkin
Everything is gonna change
But life aint gonna wait you can fight it but you know it
Never will change aint nothin gonna change
Till you change so far away from your home
No voice of reason completely alone
You know your shadow wont keep you warm
Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that
never can happen again.
So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never
Close your eyes, listen to time
Life always reword its rime
Whisper to your ear your destiny and
Your talk is cheap sad that you don't know
You're full of greed everybody knows
You say you say you say pray you say God is great
But then you go and fight and kill and take away what god gave
You're a murderer
You can't cover-up what you are 'cause everybody knows
We can make a change
We can make a change today
Just lift up your voice and say
We can change change change change
We can make a change
We can make a change today
Just lift up your voice and say
We can change
Change
We won't follow (no we won't) no false teacher no (no we don't)
You better go try practice what you preach to be a leader
You say you pray you say you pray you say God is great
But then you go and fight and kill and take away what god gave
You're a murderer
You can't cover-up what you are 'cause everybody knows
We can make a change
We can make a change today
Just lift up your voice and say
We can change change change change
We can make a change
We can make a change today
Just lift up your voice and say
We can change
As the days dance into a nightmare rise while
The moon howls in it's pale light as time moves
The wind blows on while I sit here I must keep
Growing on it's dawn to dusk when black becomes
White it's when sea touches land even opposites
Unite it's sunshine on a rain pelted road it's a
Handshake and a punch to be throne nothing sure
To be here tomorrow nothing's sure to last the
Whole day but if there's somthing you can count
On in life the only thing that's permanent is
Change it's the seconds that strive to make a
Full day the minutes that cry as hours slip away
As time moves and the wind blows us on while you
Making the most of it
Turning a light up and
Breaking the back of a
Killing the negative
Finding the faith isn't
As much as I'd like it to be
Follow the path set by
Somebody else's hand
Craving addiction and
Living in fear of me
But I don't think that I can change
I've been feeling this way for so long now
And this feeling inside still remains
I aint gonna change
Aint gonna change
Bent on destruction I
Have no intention
Black into day into
Dark into Night I go
Blaming myself like I
I'm in control of it
I Turn it around for a
Just for the fun of it
Back to the start I go
I Wish I had learned from you
But I don't think that I can change
I've been feeling this way for so long now
And this feeling inside still remains
I aint gonna change
This purple be having me in a storm man
Thinking bout a whole bunch of shit man
Lemme get this off my chest real quick
Well this rap shit {what}
Has certainly changed
How could it ever work for these lames?
Duck-hunt, with all these birds in the game
That's word to my gang
D-I-P you heard what I claim?
Writer mayne
Hottest thing on this turf and terrain
I luagh
You ain't as great as you think
You hear that?
That's me laughing all the way to bank
Come play in the paint
I've been a pro
If it ain't a give and go {what's that? }
I see it like it buy it, that what I call a pick and roll
Dig though, I'm eating chump
I don't need to front
For prjoects with the weeks and months
I ain't take a breather once {no way}
It's easy punk, I'm top the line
Rhyme for rhyme
Couple rocks, and a watch, ock that means it's time to shine {bling}
Little guys behind
But check it I'm a ride for mine
If I was super man the S'll be a dollar sign {Ching}
I ain't lying, I be styling creep
How I'm cheap?
When seven days a week I'm fresher than a bounty sheet {fresh}
The bounty hunters couldn't find this little town I creep
My lounge discreet
Some of my niggas meet me down the street {word}
They hound the beast on some star struck shit {how}
Cameras out like britney spears on a startbucks trip {flick}
Get your bars up prick
Uh understand me these queers are candy {candy}
Throwing jabs but your oscar wearing panties
I dare you trannies get R uh mad
I'll carve the fag {why}
Your album trash
The next one should come in garbage bags
Little garbage ass could never be a diplomat
Your shit is wack
It's a fact
You bastards always been in jack {swag}
I get a cat to bring a ration where you living at
Get your clappers, swing around the plastic like a wiffle bat {click clat}
Now that's a christmas wrap
Go head with the chitter chat
We'll chitty chitty bang bang all over your fitted cap {blaow}
The kid is back drowning the mic
It's the king kiss the ring niggas bow to the nice
How I ain't nice?
I style for real {real}
That's really how I feel {feel}
I turned a street mixtape into a album deal
I'm bout them bills
So until I touch em millions boo
I'm a puff a splif or two
And fuck up my perifials
My pockets are empty
Fear's such a thief
You know how that goes
I used to think
You couldn't love a mess like me
Then You came in so close
As my heart settles
You do the impossible
You change me, You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I can see You change me
Like a bullet in a wound
It needs to be removed
But only by You, only by You
And though I feel so stuck
The hope in Your eyes is enough
To change me, You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I can see You change me
Now that I see Your face
I'll never be the same
You change me, You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I tried so many times but nothing happened,
It seemed the task at hand was much too great for me.
I spent my yesterdays wondering if tomorrow would be the same.
I underestimated Your grace.
But you loved me in spite of my ways
And changed me.
Change
That's the word that comes to mind when I think of all you've done for me.
Oh, oh, change
It's kinda' strange how people say that I act so differently
Oh, oh change
Every passing day I find it easier to say...
"What a wonderful change in me."
Now I find myself staring in the mirror
Taking inventory of the things I see.
I never realized that there was so much missing deep inside
Until you took control of my life.
Like an eagle now I can fly
Cause you changed me.
Change
That's the word that comes to mind when I think of all you've done for me.
Oh, oh, change
It's kinda' strange how people say that I act so differently
Oh, oh change
Every passing day I find it easier to say...
"What a wonderful change in me."
And everyday I pray that you'll open my eyes to see things your way
Cause I wanna love like you,
Walk like you,
Live like you.
Whatever you have to do
Even if you change me Lord.
Change
That's the word that comes to mind when I think of all you've done for me.
Oh, oh, change
It's kinda' strange how people say that I act so differently
Oh, oh change
Every passing day I find it easier to say...
Do what you want
Just as long as you don't get caught
You'll always know
But that's not how you were taught
See I don't know if you should come back to your home
It's not what she would have wanted
You're never gonna stop
Letting people down unless you change
Yeah, it's easier just to stay the same.
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you
All that we gave never seemed to be enough
To fill in the space that grows as time gets tough
Letting it's go wouldn't be the end of it all
It's harder to start over.
You're never gonna stop
Letting people down unless you change
Yeah, it's easier just to stay the same.
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you
Breaking out, say hello to all the friends that you forgot about
Same old routine, if you don't wanna break it, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
If they don't wanna let you, I'm not gonna make you change
Yeah it's easier just to stay the same
Well I let myself down
And I made myself cry
And I let myself go
Like I gave up on life
I was telling myself
I was living a lie
That I didn't exist
That the world let me die
And I took a step back
Was it really that bad
I forget who I was
I forgot who I am
How did I get this far
How did I get this low
If I change will they care
This won't work anymore
Was anybody listening?
Did anybody care?
I'll show them that I'm changing
Will I let them down?
Letting myself down
Should I let them get close
Should I let my guard down
Should I take a step back
Keep my feet on the ground
Am I running from pain
or the things that I fear
I'm surrounded by hate
There is nothing good here
And I took a step back
Was it really that bad
I forget who I was
I forgot who I am
How did I get this far
How did I get this low
If I change will they care
This won't work anymore
Was anybody listening?
Did anybody care?
I'll show them that I'm changing
Will I let them down?
I've been waiting here so long for this
For you to give that old idea the slip
And see how those who are alive have lived
Some would say it's sweeter than the life you've lived of late
But that its sweetness is the bitter taste
Of giving everything you are away
You're going to have to change
Change the way you see
You'll have to change your mind
I'll bet you wanted more from life than living it
You'd like to swim but you just can't commit
And you're afraid that you might drown in it
But diving in, even in knowing that you cannot swim
You've got to die before your life begins
You've got to grow up sometime
And see the other point of view
Is it good or is it bad
Is it old or is it new
Change change
Soon the day when it will all change
I'm waiting patiently for the day
When it's going to change
It's all the same for miles around
You love to hate the band
With the same old sound
Don't let your only fear break away
That way your phoney cause
Will live another day
The tables are not turned
Until you find
A solution to a problem
Within your mind
Your views can change
Just like your clothes
So what's the answer
No one knows
You'll have to grow up another day
You'll have to find out another way
Questions can't be answered, ain't that strange?
All the rain came down
On a cold new town
As he carried you away
From your father's hand
That always seemed like a fist
Reaching out to make you pay
He came like a hero from the factory floor
With the sun and moon as gifts
But the only son you ever saw
Were the two he left you with
Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low
Now the skirts hang so heavy around your head
That you never knew you were young
Because you played chance with a lifetime's romance
And the price was far too long
Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low
Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low
Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low
Oh Lord where did the feeling go
Oh Lord I never felt so low
Oh Lord where did the feeling go
~ChOrUs~
Even though you don't want me, I will wait for you.
And I know this is your world your gonna do what you wanna do.
Just becuase the things I did. I'm always put to shame.
So if you let me in your world, I promise I will Change.
*VeRsE1:There's no doubt no question, on what you been doing for years.
Corrupt both of our worlds, now you livin in tears.
You cried you my only one, look me dead in the eye.
What a fool to believe, girl for you I would die.
Thought I found my one and only girl.
To share my life, and share my World.
Second guessing on myself, never cross the line.
Never once doubt in you, try to play my mind.
The best things always come in twos,
but after this one time, I couldn't stick around, cuz of the wicked way you choose
Though you were my baby boo,
The time came around to represent on what a man had to do.
Swirvin, weaving, hid beneath this section.
Fuck all the drama never should i have to mention,
but just incase you wanna really take a swirl,
Don't trust nobody when it comes to my world.
~ChOrUs~
*VeRsE2:For just once I got a hold of my world.
There's no more drama
No more sad or slow songs and drama about no girl.
I shifted out a foo and hit the breaks quick,
and thinking "Damn i coulda been there with this chick"
(It's crazy) girlfirend dont care care if vatos think she's stuck.
She was getting down with Anthony and Chuck.
(and for this chick?) life was nothing but an all day party she was livin,
and i couldnt get up in it, and if i did (guess what?)
Then id be like the next man found fighting,
when I found that they're pounding on your back,
and its still the same, but you claim things change.
Tryna blame me for your games. (Please)
It's all cool baby it's nobodys fault but mine,
for goin on a ride on cloud nine.
I coulda gave you my whole world then.
but I'd probably be sharing it with them.
~ChOrUs~
2x:Nobody's gonna shape my world &
Nobody's gonna make my world &
Nobody's gonna break my world &
Nobody's gonna take my world.
*VeRsE3:The truth lies in the soul not to save the lease.
There's noone to blame cuz the pain is in the beast.
You know right from wrong,
so stop holding on
Look on the brightside,
You're fortunate to be in my song.
There's no exception, don't question what I believe.
It's all good, till you tangled up the way i believe.
With our heart and soul, and a mind of gold,
There will never be another like you in my world.
You still lookin at me sideways (why?) cuz i just sang my sad song,
and you still cant believe im gone,
but you know i really understand, it's hard to swallow what i said,
when I think about the lies you fed.
And it aint all bad, it's actually all good,
knowing that i did what i could (for real)
You shouldn't let it get you down and blue,
think im dedicating this song to you (You feel me?)
You promised
We believed you
The water’s getting high
I got I,
You got you,
Why must we choose and die
Yeah, yeah
Why must we choose and die
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin’ the change has come and gone
It’s been too long
If it’s comin’
I wanna know where the change is coming from
Deep pockets
Bodies piled high
How can you sleep at night
I got I,
You got you,
Why must we choose and die
Yeah, yeah
Why must we choose and die
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin’ the change has come and gone
It’s been too long
If it’s comin’
I wanna know where the change is coming from
Make your move
It’s time
It’s true
yes you can
It’s time
You do
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We are, we are
We’re waiting for a change
We are, we are
Waiting, waiting
We keep hearin’ the change has come and gone
It’s been too long
If it’s comin’
Help me find myself, 'cause I'm losing my mind
No sense of reason, no recollection of time
I reach for a purpose, and I'm met with no way
To find what possesses the things I can't say to you.
Try again, don't falter now
My eyes start to change
And it all stays the same
Let it go again, please say you will
Let it go again, swallow the pill
Let it go again, I've tried to live on
But in the end, it's all a trend, and life goes on.
I keep pressing on, looking for the light
You can't look me in the eye even though you're right
A taint of injustice everywhere I go
Not for what I am, but for what you don't even know.
Try again, don't falter now
My eyes start to change
And it all stays the same
Let it go again, please say you will
Let it go again, swallow the pill
Let it go again, I've tried to live on
But in the end, it's all a trend, and life goes on.
Let it go again, please say you will
Let it go again, swallow the pill
Let it go again, I've tried to live on
Someday when I’m over you
And when I think I’m able to
Well, I might try to be your friend again
But your restless heart and rolling eyes
My jealousy, these endless fights
I’ve got to get out of your life
Or I will never mend
I guess I’ll die a bit each day
But I’m always dying anyway
I don’t have the heart to stay
And I can’t take the pain
I know we’ve tried to no avail
Our heaven now has turned to hell
The same old hurt we know so well
But something’s got to change
We both know it’s got to end
The passion’s gone
It’s just pretend
One of us has got to make the move
We might as well just give it up
We’ve lost respect and there’s no trust
And without this there’s no real love
It’s just some sad excuse
I guess I’ll die a bit each day
But I’m always dying anyway
And there’s nothing left but walk away
Ain’t this a crying shame
A change of pace
A change of heart
The change of place
A place to start
And we’ll be better off apart
Our only hope is change
And we never will
But something has to change
But someday when I’m over you
And when I think I’m able to
Well, I will try to be your friend again
She says the things that she does
She does for the sake of love
Tryin' to understand me
She holds her head in her hands
Says I'm an impossible man
I think she'd like to change me
I think she wants to change me
I think she'd like to change me
Change me¡..change
The things she said that she needs
Never made much sense to me
And she talks to me of freedom
Another lock, another key
Another chain, she makes for me
She has no sense or reasons
I think she wants to change me
I think she'd like to change me
Change me¡..change
Lead
She says the things that she does
She does for the sake of love¡..love
Tryin' to understand me
Another lock, another key
Another chain, she makes for me¡¡no¡..no
She has no sense or reasons
I think she wants to change me
I think she'd like to change me
Change me¡..change.
Manny charlton
Well they're moving to St. Augustine
That's where the cool folks go
Packing up those bibles man.
Nothing for them here they know.
Moving further south so spread some peace and love,
Ask them why they're going and they'll say,
Chorus:
A voice came from above.
It said “See that nothing works like change.
Change is good for you
See the world. See what you can do.
There's a lot you're gonna have to answer for out there
Now in these cynical times
Sterotypical minds
Got me falling from my pinnacle the minute I climb
Now these subliminal thoughts got individuals blind
I'm trying to look beyond the lies
Just to see what I'll find
I'm like a flower in a cave
Another hour in the maze
And I'll cower to the power of my criminal ways
The sun is shining but I'm catching minimal rays
It's time for me to grow out of this childish phase
My life is like a battle that I'll probably never win
'Cause I keep thinking big and risking everything
Life's a challenge and I wonder if I'll ever find the balance
Mixed emotions and confusion topped off with many talents
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(my life is twisted)
My finger's pointing in the mirror
I'm the one now
I see my shadow in the sun dial
Am I really out of change
Put my freedom in a cage
Slow down
Man I got a son now
There's nothing new thay all said it
And I know it but I had to go throught it myself
I'm hard-headed
That's the only way I'll learn
Get caught in the fire ther's no escaping the burn
And it burns
Change this
Change that
Change is full of lies
I remain the same cat wear a good disquise
Living life loking through my third blind crooked eye
So if I change I'd be changing for the worst wouldn't I?
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
(my life is twisted)
I wanna run but if I run I'm only running form myself
Would it be easier if I were someone else
I'm like a child playin' with matches that's never beeen burned
Relearning all the lessons that I've already learned
On a highway to a destinatin I've earned
So many exits, but I've never bothered to turn
I'm like a piece of shard glass laying on a frame of a window
That was broken by the bricks of pain
Sometimes I feel just like the devil's guinea pig
He's watching me just to see how deep I can dig
I admit I'm fucked up and got a lot to learn
So now I'm dancing in the ashes of the bridge I've burned
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever change
Can I change
Would I change
Or am I always gonna be the same
I blame the world for making me such a freak
But the world wants to blame it on me
Pay no heed to this
Try to drive it back
No need to reminisce
On my daunting past
And lock my eyes
Next to paradise
So I just might
Try to fulfill with less
CHORUS:
Cause I still miss you
I can’t grieve without you
My world needs to change
I’m so far from being
The pious saint
I’m reasoned to be
By enthusiasts
Make mental obstacles
To pace around the thoughts
That makes this unbearable journey
Conflicted
Can you forgive and forget
You can't fix it
When you live in regret
Are you afflicted
Or does it burn inside
Carpe diem
Say what you have to say
Before time slips away
Make the change
Don't deny it
I know your terrified of yourself
You can't fight it
I know your screaming for help
You chase riots
But your running blind
Carpe diem
Say what you have to say
Before time slips away
Make the change
Say what you have to say
Before time slips away
Make the change
Say what you have to say
Before time slips away
Make the change
Say what you have to say
Before time slips away
Make the change
Say what you have to say
Before time slips away
Make the change
Don't deny it
I know your terrified of yourself
You can't fight it
I know your screaming for help
You chase riots
You live it your way
But it doesn't matter
I do it my way -- do it better
Why do I hate the human race?
Just come closer face to face!
I have to tell you by the way
Why do I hate you every day
It's just the way you look at me
Seems like the madman I would be
Wish I could kill you
Which means to thrill you
My thoughts will blow your mind away
I'll penetrate you -- I'll violate you
The cleaning rain will come today
Don't try to chain me
Don't be so strange
Why don't you join me?
Why don't you change?
You'll get the time to prove your mind
Could find the way which you don't find
Wish I could drill you
Which means to chill you
Can't wait to take you by my hand
Don't let me tease you
Don't let me please you
At least you'll get your promised land
Smoking sitting thinking drinking
Wondering we’re my life is leading
Something bout this world I’m seeing
Got me wondering what’s the meaning
{Culla Brown}
Time change and yet I’m doing the same thing
My calendar didn’t move but yet when did it turn spring
Déjà vu is like my everyday living
Time to get up off my ass too much shit that I’m
missing
So I take one thing before I’m going
Theme music for my day I bump that Goodie Mo beat
Get up get out my nigga and get something
How you spread the word? Windows down woofers bumpin
Now, tired of working these 9 to 5s and stressin
Pushin buttons all day like my last name is Jetson
Give me a space ship and without a question
Ill blast off consider it a blessing
Heavinly father please watch out for me
These niggas clappin all the time like it’s a Nolia
Beat
Can’t put no ice on your shirt these niggas hold the
heat
And pull that fire til you feel that Bruce Bowen D
(Duck nigga)
{A.Tone Da Priest}
Smokin on a fat one, bumpin in the background
Something by me so you know that it’s that good sound
Got about two pounds it helps me get away
You can find me we’re the stars shine even in the day
Up in outer space, no gravity I’m fly
Why you lookin maybe cause you wanna be that guy
What I my reply I do me you do you
On the day to day I get my pay and slay it in the booth
Cause of my youth proof I’m only getting better
Trend setter go getter, I’m so hungry for my cheddar
No matter what the weather better make it through the
storm
Lifes quick get sick when it’s time to mourn
Roarin on the track cat king of the jungle
Ball till I fall go hard when I stunt folk
No joke blow smoke my mind at ease
It clear to see the world close so I’m forced to freeze
(end verse)
{Hollywood}
I don’t smoke but I’m high off the contact
And it got me wondering we’re is my mind at
Where is my life at and how do I breath
If I need an oxygen tank unplug me please
I don’t want to live out my life that way
Soft words but you know it’s kind of hard to say
But I take for granted but now ima say
And I love the life I’m living and my family that’s in
And they push me and push I gotta be the best
Live everyday like the world is my contest
So in my mine everyone compete against me
I’m here for the long run I want the industry
But I ain’t gonna fail no way in hell,
There’s no way in hell I took that path to hell
No mirages nightmares are through
Wake up my friends
Don?t you see what is happening
To all of the people that are suffering
Well do you see it now
And if we don?t change
We?re all going down
If we don?t do anything
God help us now
People turn their backs to those in need
For no reason but their selfish greed
Well do you see it now
If you think the world?s alright
Take a look inside yourself
And see what you might find
Try to see the future through
Went to see a shrink 'cause my life is such a mess
Thanks Mr. Freud now I'm broke and depressed
I had to start smoking to get off Nicorette
I put the top down just in time to get wet
One of these days my luck is gonna change
They'll think I'm brilliant instead of insane
Everything will be different but I'll be the same
One of these days my luck is gonna change
Bought a new shirt as it was going out of style
Stood up a blind date, it was Nicki Dial
Bought a message so I could relax
A big man masseuse almost broke my back
One of these days my luck is gonna change
They'll think I'm brilliant instead of insane
Everything will be different but I'll be the same
One of these days my luck is gonna change
Stand in line, pass the time
Live and learn, wait my turn
One of these days my luck is gonna change
They'll think I'm brilliant instead of insane
Everything will be different but I'll be the same
One of these days
One of these days my luck is gonna change
They'll think I'm brilliant instead of insane
Everything will be different but I'll be the same
One of these days my luck is gonna change
Feeling kinda sick
Sick of all the things they do
Swaying with the wind
Tell me who is fooling who
I'm not changing for this changing world
And I'll live my life my own way
On and on they drag me on
I won't change for you
Shifting with the sands
See them sinking once again
Fairweathered till the end
think you can change? so you think you can change? well i don't expect you to relate i feel like you're gone but i fear that something remains. so you think you're denied? i feel that all the time. if you wait till you wake up you'll find. so sick of today, just feel it slipping away. i felt all along that your glances bring nothing but pain,but you believe in all you're waiting to see yet you can't understand why feel that you're caught in a dream. you've been trying hard, sitting there waiting to be noticed. i can't believe the things that you do, after all the shit you put me through. you've been trying hard, sitting there waiting just to talk about the show. i can't believe the things that you do and after all the shit you put me through you've been waiting there but i can't wait forever waiting. you've been talking about falling in love now i'm hated but it's all deserved, when i say to change, but you think that you're not sad, but you're not sad. you've been trying hard sitting there waiting to be noticed. i can't believe the things that you do and after all the shit you put me through and i say to you -- find someone else you can abuse
[Lupe Fiasco:]
So what's it going to be
L-U-P-E
Joy c'mon
WHOA!
[Joy Denalane:]
There's so many things to say right now
I've got so much on my mind
You know what is going down
How much higher can we climb?
This system that we're living in
Depends on poverty and greed
But people don't need charity
It's justice that we need
[Chorus: Joy Denalane]
Cause this street fair
Hey it's surrounding you
And it's worse than it's ever been
(we'll over come)
We'll over come the things they do yea oh
(we're halfway there)
We're half way there cause we know the truth
But livin is another thing
(we'll over come)
Over come the things they do
Lift your voice and sing
Change is comin our way
Step by step and day by day
And we'll live we'll live
By all that we say
Step by step and oh day by day
[Joy Denalane:]
There's war all around the world
In the name of democracy
And tell the rope from the judge
When they're bringing poverty
I see my sisters on the move
Making sure we're all contained
Must've lost something on the way
When we use ourselves today yea
[Chorus: Joy Denalane]
Cause this street fair
Hey it's surrounding you
And it's worse than it's ever been
(we'll over come)
We'll over come the things they do yea oh
(we're halfway there)
We're halfway there cause we know the truth
But livin is another thing
(we'll over come)
Over come the things they do
Lift your voice and sing
Change is comin our way
Step by step and day by day
And we'll live we'll live
By all that we say
Step by step and day by day
[Lupe Fiasco:]
Now before we go foward we gotta take them back
So we can know where to dig
Cause if we never know what happened in the past
Than we can never know just what it is
If we don't do it for us
We gotta do it for our kids (kids)
So they ain't gotta relive
See there's so much happenin
Gonna get fixed with singin and rappin
We gotta take action and
Turn preachin into practicin
Cause what happened back then
Will be right back again whoa
But each one teach one
Cause we only as fast as the last one straggilin
So help 'em out
[Joy Denalane:]
Step by step
Day by day (uh)
I said it won't be long (be long, be long)
Step by step
Come with me
I feel it comin on strong yea
Step by step
Day by day
Oohhh we're gonna over come
Step by step
Come with me (uh)
As long as we are one
A change is comin our way (sing it)
Comin our way oooohhhhh
Step by step and day by day
I said we'll live by all that we say
Step by step (people) and day by day
A change is comin our way
(said it's comin our way)
Step by step and day by day (ooooohhh)
(you know it's comin)
We'll live by all that we say
And I will never see the truth
This is not a matter of my youth
I do not need anybody else
Bonds would put my mind into cells
And I will never know I was wrong
Never listen to those truly strong
I do not fear anything that's not me
Ignorance is the ultimate key
But I wouldn't want to live like this forever
But change myself? Never never!
The very thought sends shivers down my spine
I'm sure everything everything will be fine
I am the one who cries out at night
For somebody to change my very core
Not sure why I live in endless fright
Doomed to love only myself for evermore
I am the one who has no real friends
Shallow people flocking to my banner
Always trying to make easy amends
Cherishing my own overbearing manner
Life - always fragile
I will never change
Love - always fleeting
I will never change
Life - always fragile
I will never change
Love - always fleeting
I will never change
But I wouldn't want to live like this forever
Maybe I really was too clever
But I wouldn't want to end like that
I would die lonely and incredibly sad
I will never drag myself out of this
The shadows of my past bogging me down
Feeling lost in turmoil and crisis
My face forever set in an endless frown
I have been hurt beyond mental repair
Thence destined to suffer eternal damnation
No one can be there for me to care
But without I will never find salvation
Lust - always empty
But I will never change
Death - always tempting
But I will never change
Lust - always empty
But I will never change
Death - always tempting
But I will never change
Everything is about control
I must never slip nor ever fall
Anything is possible for me
I must never doubt and finally be free
And finally be free
The water’s flooding down by the river
You better pull your boats ashore
I’ve been living off beans and cornbread
Spend (or spent) my quarters at the dollar store
Baby don’t worry because I feel things are going to change
The flood is coming, but it never comes before the rain
Little sister you know she’s dying
Now who the hell’s going to pay her bills
Mama Jenkins you know she’s praying
Tossing her quarters in the wishing well
Mama don’t worry because I feel things are going to change
The flood is coming, but it never comes before the rain
Now little brother he’s a little wild
I can’t say much for myself
Daddy left us a bastard child
Didn’t leave us nothing, but a dollar bill
Daddy don’t worry we don’t need you anyway
I spent fifty cents, two quarters in change
Daddy don’t worry we don’t need you anyway
Billy's standing out by a west Texas highway
With his thumb in the morning air
He's spent 18 summers in the dust of Odessa
Never getting nowhere
But he got him a misspelled cardboard
Of Albuquerque standin' in the breakdown lane
He ain't lookin' for a ride so much as he's looking for a
Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Sometimes you just cross that line, where everything is more of the same
When it's do or die, step aside, turn the tide somethin's gotta change
Now Betty's walkin' out of a tattoo parlor
She's got curlers in her hair
She still can't believe she had a little red rose
Put right on her derriere
And she's still gotta pick up that red lace teddy
And a bottle of pink Champagne
Well her husband doesn't know it but tonight he's in for a
Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Sometimes you just cross that line, where everything is more of the same
When it's do or die, step aside, turn the tide somethin's gotta change
Now who of us hasn't been heading home on Friday
Sitting at some traffic light
Wondering what would happen if we hung a left
Instead of takin' that faithful old right
It's the human condition
A part of us wishes that life wouldn't get so tame
And we all know better than to think that's ever gonna
Change, a little something different for cryin' out loud
Yeah a change even for the worse, it would be better somehow
Looking for a change, change, yeah a change
[Verse 1:]
I'm so glad that trouble don't last always.
I'm so glad that my burdens, they won't last always.
You may be down today,
but it won't last always;
I feel a change, yes, I do,
a change is on the way.
[Verse 2:]
I'm so glad that these troubles won't last always.
I'm so glad that this pain, they won't last always.
When trouble comes your way,
just lift your head up and say that;
"I feel a change, yes, I do",
"a change in on the way".
[Chorus:]
I'm so glad that trouble don't last always.
I'm so glad that my burdens won't last always.
You may be down today,
but it won't last always...
[Vamp:]
I feel a change, yes,
a change is on the way,
Been a long time lonely grown set in my ways
No eye for tomorrow just a chain of yesterdays
You were the first time I knew where I stood
Now I walk a new line and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine bring me back again it's just a matter of time
Gonna play my cards right gonna knock on wood
I know what it's coming and I think the change is gonna do me good
Stone cold sober in the broad daylight downtown dancin' on a Saturday night
Just thinkin' about you makes me feel alright
It's the way that you love me the way that you love me
[ guitar ]
Stone cold sober...
Your love is a shadow across all my dreams
I wake and want you and your face is all I see
No words have been spoken it's all understood
My heart is wide open and I think the change is gonna do me good
Gonna suit me fine...
Gonna suit me fine it's just a matter of time
Author talk in the streets

[Intro:]
I don't know if you've been following but
This whole journey, has been inspired by death.
Before the Unsigned Hype,
Before my mixtape on any site,
The day Biggie lost his life, I got paranoid
So not only do I wanna live forever
But I want to get better
[Chorus: x2]
I can make a change, I can make a change I'll believe it if I say it
[Verse:]
I was cursing out God like He was the one to blame,
Mad at my managers, people should know my name,
Pissed at my coach, for taking me out the game
Sitting up in coach, I'm mad at the f–kin plane,
Out with Big Don and talking to Mister Fame,
They said "when you gon make it? " I made it inside my brain,
So many women have called me just to complain,
That I had left them empty and now I can feel their pain,
Someone put a comment up that Stimuli was next
If he came out back with Das Efx
Before that woulda got me stressed
But now I'm getting better as a man in the flesh,
I was cursing out God I was calling Him the worst,
Almost got a job, but instead I was moving work,
Almost got a girl, til somebody got her first,
There's confusion
It's covering up the state of our lives
An illusion has been created but most of it's lies
Why do people tell us what they want us to hear
All this propaganda just stirs up mistrust and fear
Really we should know better, really we should know better
Chorus
Change (change)
Got to bring more meaning to our lives
yeah ,yeah, yeah
(We've got to.... Change)
Got to bring more meaning to our lives
There's a mirror distorting the colour and shape of my mind
A story's been put upon us just one of it's kind
You don't need to believe in what they want you to see
All this propaganda stirs up mischief in me
Really we should know better, really we should know better
Chorus
Change (Change)
Got to bring more meaning to our lives
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to get more meaning in our lives
Oooh, you don't need to believe in what they want you to hear
Most of it's unnecessary and protects us from fear
Chorus
Got to change
Aaah, change
Yes, we got to (Change)
We got to change, yeah
You've left your mistakes
Up on a plate..
They're just enough to satiate
And all your reflections
well they couldn't make
a decent person for me to face..
You'll never change
You'll never change your ways..
All of the times that I knew
you're awake
Thinking of ways to make me pay
You know how to push me,
You know what to say..
The perfect phrasing
to make me break.
And all the fucked up things you say
And all the pretty games you play
They all will make it go away..
But in the end,
well it's all the same
When you're in love
The world is full of fools,
Who never get it right.
They don't know what to do,
Just do anything you like.
(Put your foot down and drive)
Oh, you're a silly thing,
(Put your foot down and drive)
You're such a pretty thing,
(Put your foot down and drive)
You're never gonna be like all those fools,
You're going out tonight.
There's nothing to lose,
You're gonna give it all a try.
Don't ever change,
Don't ever change,
No never change,
Never change.
You better say your prayers,
A whisper to the wise.
And thank your lucky stars,
For coming out tonight.
(Put your foot down and drive)
Oh you're a silly thing.
(Put your foot down and drive)
Don't ever change,
Don't ever change,
No never change,
Never change.
When tearful eyes are open wide,
They're still too blind to see.
A change in style for a little while,
Is only make believe.
(Put your foot down and drive)
Oh you're a silly thing,
(Put your foot down and drive)
You're such a pretty thing,
(Put your foot down and drive)
Oh you fool you got me started.
Oh you fool you got me started,
The closer I walk along this path with Thee
I realize I'm not what I seem
I'm not perfect, I know it's true
I wanna walk the way You want me to
But it took some time for me to see
What I really need is change
Change, change
Lord please help me to change
Change, change
I need You, Lord
Help me to change
You understand my purpose
You understand my dreams
You see inside there is a longing
For a relationship that's real
Change, change
Lord please help me to change
Change, change
I need You, Lord
Help me to change
Now I find that as I draw near
The evidence grows strangely clear
To achieve a closeness will require a change in me
I don't know what You see in me
But the love of You releases me
Closer still I find there's a place for me
Change, change
Lord please help me to change
Change, change
I need You, Lord
Once you begin, you don’t know which way to turn
It's not the same again
I learned to read all the signs on your face
Nothing you can believe
No how do we find
Inner peace, I’ve long to find
How did you come to be
You’re so innocent, so blind
You’re not the same without me any more
Feeling the waves on your feet
You feel when you close your eyes it reminds you of the times you’ve had
Now I will tell you now
No, it's not the same
(yeah, but now you’re waiting)
Now you’re awake
You’re waiting for it to show you the way
Your heart is on the outside looking in through this
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Anytime I fall
They sneered that is not the one that I should really fall for
Listening to this, is not the exact answers you’ve been looking for
But it's not the same, no it's not the same at all
(It’s the same)
No it's not the same
(yeah, but now you’re waiting)
Now you’re awake
You’re waiting for it to show you the way
Your heart is on the outside looking in through this
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Did you try to call me after
Machine picks up cause no-one answered
Living a dream of your life
I fought for you
I waited to
(Yeah, but now you’re waiting)
Now you’re awake
You’re waiting for it to show you the way
Your heart is on the outside looking in through this
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Now you’re awake
You’re waiting for it to show you the way
Your heart is on the outside looking in through this
Now, won’t you tell me now.
Now, won’t you tell me now.
You came close this time
Close to findin' a way
A way to change my mind
But I feel sure
I've heard it before
So you push yourself
Always in my face
Chance to realise
That I've made mistakes
But I've made my break
Won't get left behind
I'm not afraid
Listen my friend
You'll be fine, if you don't
Waste my time, don't you know
You could share
All the visions that I have
And you know, I could change
But I won't, anyway
That is why, you should find
Someone else and waste their time
You'll be fine, if you don't
Waste my time, don't you know
You could share
All the visions that I have
And you know, I could change
But I won't, anyway
That is why, you should find
Someone else and waste their time
You could change don't you know
You could change don't you know
You could change
But I don't like you anyway!
Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
Trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that never can happen again.
So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never
Damned if what your feelin' isn't change.
Everyone is watching, everyone is waiting.
Everywhere we look now, all there is is hating.
We just have no tolerance, we don't compromise.
All we know is what this objects in our own damn eyes.
Caring for each other, just does not exist.
All we wanna do is solve our problems with our fists.
So let's change this, rearange this.
Don't contribute, try to change it.
Be forgiving, to all living.
Because life's to short to hold a grudge for all time.
Please just try, (just try) (just try) (just try).
Everyone is watching, everyone is waiting.
No one's even hopeful, everyone's so jaded.
Good times never come and bad times always seem to last.
And everything's so screwed up,
Cause we live our lives too fast.
So let's change this, rearange this.
Don't contribute, try to change it.
Be forgiving, to all living.
Because life's to short to hold a grudge for all time.
Please just try, (just try) (just try) (just try).
Please just try, (just try) (just try) (just try)
(Chorus)
Change, can I water this down for you?
Change, don't know how you will take this news
Change, something's wrong and I can tell
Change, this is gonna hurt likeā¦
Well, underestimation is my favorite inspiration don't
you know?
So you can take that square peg and stop trying to fit
it in this round hole
I got gold mines diggin' round in both these hips
And Molotov cocktails to serve as lips
I might be greater than or less than or less than less
than or greater
But I'm always searching for the least common
denominator
(Chorus)
Well anger from confusion is the oldest institution
would you say?
And if you're part of the problem and not the solution
would you stay out of my way
I do it in luxury when I can barely pay the rent
And I'll do it just for spite just cause you say I
can't
I'll do it cause it's right for the integrity
I do it cause it's all I know it's every part of me
(Chorus)
Rewind to remind
I take it back to the city pool
The kids are playing "marco" "polo"
Cool
And I'm reminded of the source, I'm reminded from where
I came
And I'm reminded that the more we morph the more we
stay the same
This can't go on, anymore
Cause I am geting tired of asking
why
The way we feel what you desire
Are we purified in fire?
Can we make a difference now?
Can we change?
Nothing will make any sense
Without a sense of consequence
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
No dreams will come true
If dreaming's all we do
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
This can't go on, anymore
As I leave I'll shut the door
In the face of my adversary
It can be so scary
When truthreveals the lies the world
Conceals, we, must go on
Nothing will make any sense
Without a sense of consequence
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
No dreams will come true
If dreaming's all we do
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
Tell me that I'm nothing
Tell me this life's nothing
Tell me my dreams mean
Tell me that I'm nothing
But I know that I'm something
Your words mean
Nothing will make any sense
Without a sense of consequence
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
No dreams will come true
If dreaming's all we do
Voice of reason screaming treason
From the bottom of our souls
Our souls
[Bashy Spits]
If I had it all again
Na I wouldn't 'a cried at my birth
I would've smiled
Just happy to be alive on this earth
I would've walked at 5 months been seeking my six
I wouldn't 'a wasted time 'cause as soon as your born
You begin to die
I would 'a grown up faster I would 'a spent more time with my father
I would 'a listened to his advice
But I had a hard head back then my head was much harder
I wouldn't 'a leaned on mother
Played them off against each other
Man I wish that I'd 'a known better
Maybe they'd still be together
I should 'a helped my sister more
She loves me more than she needs to her heart is pure
As a sister she's perfect
As a brother I was poor
Her voice is bad I mean BAD
But I never put her on tracks maybe I thought she'd still be a ten or
Don; t worry sis I'll rectify that I promise you that
N Dad you gave me a brother by another mother
I wish I'd forced ya to make us hook up more
'Cause he looks like me just a darker color
N 5 days younger
I've never said it before but I should've but Duane I swear I love ya
N as we get older
I hope we get closer
We have the same blood and bruv
I've got your back 'til the end of time
Remember I told ya
Univercity's I still would 'a dropped out
They can keep their B.A Honours
'Cause B.A Honours is destiny only the death of me
And God can stop it
I wouldn't have fucked Andrew's ex
I should 'a put friendship before sex
That was the devil's test and I failed miserably
But that's in the past that's history
And how me and my ex girlfriends relationship dimished G
To me 's a mystery
We was outside in my ride you cried said you was missing me I Shouldn't have flang you tissues B I should 'a hugged you and gave you kisses T But I guess I just took liberties
I guess we wasn't meant to be
I still love you think I should've fought for ya heart
Aww forget it
I should 'a spent more time with Uncle hermon
If I made these changes would I still be Ashley or a different version
[Singing:]
My world is not
What it used to be
I see my life changing
Without asking me
The friends I draw
So very close to me
Re-arranging
What I need to see
WELL EVERYTHING IS NOTHING TO ME
I'LL BE EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TO BE
If you'd come through
Like you said you would
We wouldn't be here
It would be all good
But promises
Well you can keep
They don't pay the rent
And they won't help me sleep
WELL EVERYTHING IS NOTHING TO ME
I'LL BE EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TO BE
We had some dreams
They all fell through
I don't blame me
I don't blame you
It looked so good
Could've been just fine
Look after yours
And I'll look after mine
WELL EVERYTHING IS NOTHING TO ME
And you watch me closely and you mold me softly
And i know that you loved me by the way that you spoke
And you always had hope
Well today I fell down but I used the strength I found in you.
All this makes life worth living
Change what you need to change
Cause the memories fray
And the pictures will fade
Change what you need to change
Cause tomorrow the wind
Might just blow you away
Well I'm taken by this place
Surrounded by your face
Is it wrong to want out
Of this house filled with doubt
Well hello can you hear me
When i talk well if so talk back to me
All this makes life worth living
Change what you need to change
Cause the memories fray
And the pictures will fade
Change what you need to change
Cause tomorrow the wind
Might just blow you away
And I'll just say good night
For this one final time
Oh my hope is I'll see you
When I sleep when I die
I miss you - it wasn't your time
Change what you need to change
Cause the memories fray
And the pictures will fade
Change what you need to change
Cause the gold autumn days
Fade to cold winter grey
Change what you need to change
Cause the memories fray
And the pictures will fade
Change what you need to change
Cause tomorrow the wind
You run around in circles
thinking you're somewhere
but you'll see the patterns
as the walls you build block you off
Are you changing what needs to be changed,
or are you changing what you want changed?
Faced whit painful confusion
does your strategy always work?
are you screaming about others
or are you talking about yourself?
change-- it comes from the inside
change-- see the outside
change-- it's in the inside
change...
Sometimes it hurts so bad
scared to admit whose to blame
are you paying attention
Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.
It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
Trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that never can
happen again.
So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never
Breathe the air of this city every day,
I see the toxins, we're all in decay,
If we clench our fist can we find a way?
I don't know how, don't know what to say.
As the sickness runs along these streets I wonder will we ever,
find this piece of peace, I wallow in defeat,
as I breath this toxic air, struggling I do not care,
Toxic clouds away
I hold disdain for all of the things,
that I have become that I have now seen,
Wonder where do I stand now,
In a dead end town.
Burn it down, burn down everything,
I won't contribute to my own decay,
stand atop the mountain tall,
be strong like a waterfall.
Still they take pieces of me like I'm part of their machine,
I will defy all of disbelief,
watch the ashes blow away, live my life day by day,
won't be part of the machine that get's thrown away.
If you're bothered by this revelation,
there's no time for procrastination.
There's no point of laying in your bed
Counting all the moments you have wasted
Summer's almost gone
The bee's are scarce
Packing up on pollen for Queen Lady
It's the change that will make us build
Chorus 1
Ever since I was eighteen
Living life felt like a dream
I see the world fall at it's feet
All I can do is believe
There's a place to find the reasons why
Good and bad co-exist as a being
And through I've no clue where is answer lies
I myself am searching for a meaning
Of the change that will make us build
Chorus 2
Witnessing the hell I'm in
Can't tell where life ends or begins
And once I get out from the past
It will be clear what is my path
Musical interlude with la la la's
An old farmhouse stands alone, garage tacked to its side.
Old man inside keeps telling me he wants to die.
Says, “I don't got much these days...just some photos and a clock, reminding me how fast the time is passing by.”
Well I don't even know your name.
Don't even know your name, but I wanted to tell you things change.
A young girl cries in my ear, her heart tries not to break.
She holds her own, but indecision makes her shake.
She's got so much left to give, all her thoughts and all her dreams, reminding me how fast the time is passing by.
Well I don't even know your name.
Don't even know your name, but I wanted to tell you things change.
Things change.
An old farmhouse stands alone, garage tacked to its side.
Old man inside keeps telling me....
Well I don't even know your name.
Don't even know your name, but I wanted to tell you things change.
I saw a dried up river and a rich man
Turning on a garden hose
I see a young man picking up a gun
I guess that's where the money goes, yeah
Am I just as good as a bad man
Sleeping while the rest are dying?
Or am I just as bad as a good man
Saying there's no use of trying?
Ooh, tell me do you still believe
Ooh, everything that you read?
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies
Get higher than the background singers singing, singing
Okay singing
Some people do it all for money
And some do it all for their love, yeah
Some do it all for the glory
'Cause nothing else they're thinking of
I saw a man in a four door truck
Complaining that the price is high
Like a well feed man with a spoon in his hand
Saying who ate all the apple pie, yeah
Ooh, tell me do you still believe
Ooh, everything that you read?
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If I ain't ready to listen I'm never gonna listen
Most follow intuition while they wishing it would work
And my vision isn't perfect so I will never learn for it
Don't wish for some change like a church worker
Hallelujah, preacher I am not influenced
If I don't donate to your movement am I not improving?
And while the poor kill the poor for a portion
A piece of American society pie
I get high, the munchies I got so bear witness
I got this girl looking at you 'cause my reps kissing
And I ain't ready to wait when there's dollars on the brain
Why would you expect change?
Till we learn to get together
And see who we really are
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
If nobody's gonna wake up
And start asking who's in charge
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change
Ain't nothing gonna change, no, no
Ain't shit changing but diapers on babies
Get higher than the background singers singing, singing
Things I saw things I see
Thing that you wanted me to be
But I can not change
Same routine over again
You call me up just to be my friend
Things are still the same
Been so long since we started
Even longer we've been parted
Doesn't look like we're going to make it
Cause this time I'm not going to take it
Not going to take it anymore
What you want is what you get
Your smile sweet when really getting wet
Know you too well
Same routine your back again
You say our story never had an end
There's nothing to tell
Been so long since we started
Even longer we've been parted
Doesn't look like we're going to make it
cause this time I'm not going to take it
not going to take it anymore
strange, mixed, up, world
where the, girl, uses, the,
boy, till, she, gets,
horny, for, other, guy,
Every now I’m running out
Come on, we’ll leave this place
Tonight before all what we’ve built will turn to dust
I am used to change and then
I will change again
Turning like the wheels which work inside my head
I’m going life or death
Keep hanging by a thread
I’m going life or death
What's on my mind?
Come on down, now we will leave this town forever
Get on with life, pray we will find a better one
Every now I'm drifting out
I keep on sinking down
and all this lying which is locked inside my head
I am used to change and then
I will change again
Turning like the wheels that spin around themselves
I’m going life or death
Keep hanging by a thread
I’m going life or death
What's on my mind?
Come on down, now we will leave this town forever
I never thought you could do
something like this to me
i never thought
i never thought you would fool
me like this
no,i never thought
take it back
take it back
change everything you are
hands are made for shaking
change erverything you are
but i'm not buying
how does it feel to play me like a
simple food?
how does it feel?
how does it feel to find out you're
a victim too?
how does it feel?
change everything you are
hands are made for shaking
change erverything you are
Your silhouette it haunts me now
A thousand times a day
Skin from tears of days the past are all that still remain
Seems nothings gonna change round here
The way I feel, I'm feeling now
Your photographs they taunt me now
Portray my yesterdays
Frozen by the same old fears that keep me in this space
Is there nothing I can do or say to change you mind?
Girl, to make you mine
I'd give anything to see you again
I'd give everything to hold you
Angel, won't you save me from myself?
Coz the words I've spoken left me broken now
Angel only you know how
Shadows of a distant past dance around the room
All these walls are empty now but for memories of you
Is there nothing I can do or say to change you mind?
Girl, to make you mine
I'd give anything to see you again
I'd give everything to hold you
Angel, won't you save me from myself?
Coz the words I've spoken left me broken now
Angel wont you save me? Save me!
My soul has spoken
I cant turn back now
Angel, what I've said and done
I cannot hide except in stone and its just in time
And I plea with you just one more chance to show you who I am
Angel wont you save me? Save me!
Coz the words I've spoken left me broken now
Angel wont you save me from myself
Won't you give me your hand?
Coz only you know how
Sometimes you won't just walk away,and leave it all oh yeah you do
then you hear a voice soft and low,sis don't you cry cause I'll pull you through.
Bridge:You may not need money cause you lived your life the best that you could,you been a sugar baby to cry a few you know I'm talking to you.
Chorus:Someday a change is gonna come-It may not be right now oh yeah yeah yeah,sometimes you got to hold on-Hold on oh cause your help is on the way yes it is.
So you weigh the cost then you ask yourself,what can you lose cause you got nothing else,so you pack your troubles to walk away cause there's no weak such to stay yeah yeah.
(Bridge)
(Chorus 2x)
Vamp:Said you gotta hold on(yeah yeah)
you gotta hold on(gotta hold on)
yes you do(yes you do)
oh yes you do(oh yes you do)
On my last day,
when they call out my name
you can trust me, it all gonna' change.
It seems strange when I put it this way,
but I was always good at writin' what I really wanna' say,
I can't face the face with the fact that you left and your never commin' back
hopin that I'd fall flat on my face
but the real disgrace
is that you hide my daughter
from hell or high water
I guess it was all just a big lie
when you took her away I wanted to die
Why, why, why?
Is there a reason why you did all this?
Or was it all just a way to a little
Bitch [sample]
I can't believe that you would lie to her
all these years of makin' her think that I had just dissappeared
and even though I know we hate eachother
I would never try to keep her from her mother.
I really wanna' change my ways,
but I can only change so much.
have you no choice that you abuse to change this crush into my life
I might look strange today,
so strange in a good way,
don't wanna' go through it again,
don't wanna' pretend that it never did happen,
I've really changed a lot over time,
and a lot of people hear it in the rhyme.
I used to live a life of crime,
only crime was the struggle of tryin' to find
where I fit in with the hustle
had to tussle with the block a coupple times
and i thought it would double because I was always in trouble
but I knew I had to change my ways,
or I probly wouldn't be standin' here today.
wasn't sure at the time what I was doin,
was so blind but I tried to do it.
Now I see a little bit of change really saved my life
an' gave me this to write
I really wanna' change my ways,
but I can only change so much.
have you no choice that you abuse to change this crush into my life
I might look strange today,
so strange in a good way,
don't wanna' go through it again,
don't wanna' pretend that it never did happen,
hard times I grew up in,
and the weed, yeah it's true I hit it,
I can freely admit it,
did a lot that i knew i shouldn't
had to stop when the cops started shoven' a pushin'
in the burbs now,
still I get herbed out,
early in the mornin' while yer goin' off to work now.
My situation, what I'm facin' all these changes could be wastin' away.
My situation, what I'm facin' all these changes could be wastin' away.
My situation, what I'm facin' all these changes could be wastin' away.
I really wanna' change my ways,
but I can only change so much.
have you no choice that you abuse to change this crush into my life
I might look strange today,
so strange in a good way,
don't wanna' go through it again,
don't wanna' pretend that it never did happen,
I really wanna' change my ways,
but I can only change so much.
have you no choice that you abuse to change this crush into my life
I might look strange today,
so strange in a good way,
don't wanna' go through it again,
I'm going to miss the way I missed you.
But I'm okay if you're okay.
I've been lonely when I'm with you.
But now I'm lonely all the same.
If you need to find yourself
in the arms of someone else
I wish you on your way
but my love
I've never been too good a change
I've never been too good a change
I'm gonna miss the way I kissed you.
But I'll be brave if you'll be brave
and this is only the beginning
Although it feels just like the end
If you need to take some time
I'd surrender, love of mine.
I wouldn't make you stay
But my love,
The rain is falling down
I feel like a dog that's been kicked out into the street
I know that dogs can't drive cars
But that's about the only difference between us now
But wait, there's a rainbow across the freeway
And I think I feel the morning sun
Another song is number one
Golden days have just begun
Change every dog is gonna have his day
Change every loser's gonna have his way
Change I don't care what other people say
You can argue all day long about whether love really exists or not
It's a complete waste of time
Like arguing about whether Santa Claus really exists or not
I've got better things to do with my time
I've got places that I've got to be
And people that I've to see
Mountains that I have to ski
Golden days ahead of me
Change every dog is gonna have his day
Change every loser's gonna have his way
Change I don't care what other people say
Change just ignore them and they'll go away
Paradise was here, paradise is gone
Greece and Rome were here, Greece and Rome are gone
The Wild West was here, the Wild West is gone
Vaudeville was here, Vaudeville is gone
Change every dog is gonna have his day
Change every loser's gonna have his way
Change I don't care what other people say
You know I've been thinking
We'll get back together again someday
Your hair will be some weird color by then
Maybe we'll just start off again as friends, I wonder when
Change every dog is gonna have his day
Change every loser's gonna have his way
Change I don't care what other people say
Change just ignore them and they'll go away
Change every dog is gonna have his day
Change every loser's gonna have his way
Change I don't care what other people say
There was a dry goods store
A flower shop
A barber with no nose
One alcoholic cop
A beauty parlor
Where they sit in chrome chairs
Smells like they burned some poor ladies hair
There were toys in the window
5 and dime
little girl staring
little boys whine
half the toys in the window of the 5 and Dime
Things change
They change a lot
Things change
They grow cold they grow hot
And if looking back that's all you got
It don't matter anyway
Those same little girls go to work in those stores
Those same little boys they went away to wars
And when they came home
All the jobs gone away
Back to the places where they fought so far away
Things change, they change a lot
Things change
They grow cold, they grow hot
And looking back if that's all you got
It don't matter anyway
There was a dry goods store
A flower shop
A barber with no nose
There was one drunk cop
A beauty parlor
Where they sit in chrome chairs
Theyd hide beneath the dryers
They just sit there
They stare
Things change
They change a lot
Things change
They grow cold they grow hot
And if looking back that's all you got
They don't matter anyway
My baby's got some trouble
He know he's not himself
Oh, he's walking through the rubble
Of what he brought himself
Brought on himself, he says
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
And I can't seem to change
So now my baby's tryin' to fix it
He'd do it all himself
But it's harder than he thinks it is
And he may need some help
Might need, might need some help, he says
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
And I can't see, it's you what you do (what you do)
Oh and it's not what you say
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
And I can't seem to change
My baby's got a lover
He know he loves instead
Oh you, you just don't know what you do to me babe
Oh you're losin' me babe
Every time you say
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
Well I can't see, it's you what you do (what you do)
Oh and it's not what you say
I can't seem to do what you do (what you do)
You know it's hard for me
And I can't seem to change
Can't change, I can't change
I can't seem to change
I just can't change
And I can't seem to...
Baby baby baby
Time to settle the score
Cause if you're not gonna change
You better walk out the door
Baby baby baby
Time to settle the score
Cause if you're not gonna change
I don't need you no more
In this minute they fight
In this minute they die
In the name of their gods
They're shooting bomb fire through the night
In this second there's a child
Being killed by a ricochet
Let us stop acting senseless
Like our hearts are lame
Can we change the world
In a day
Can we open our minds
And chase injustice away
We shouldn't give up, tell em to stop
Driving the whole world to the ground
Cause this earth is the best
Of what's around
There is something heavenly
Something that we cannot see
If we try we may sway anything
With the power of belief
There's a conscience after all
In our mind deep in ourselves
Let us stop turning this earth
Into a rotten place
Can we change the world
In a day
Can we open our minds
And chase injustice away
We shouldn't give up, tell em to stop
Driving the whole world to the ground
Cause this earth is the best
Of what's around
Ooh ooh hey yeh
Ooh ooh ooh mmm
Oooh ooh hey
Haah ahah ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh huh huh...
Can we change, can we change
Can we change the world
In a day
Can we open our minds
And chase injustice away
We shouldn't give up, tell em to stop
Driving the whole world to the ground
Can we change the world
In a day
Can we open our minds
And chase injustice away
We shouldn't give up, tell em to stop
Driving the whole world to the ground
Cause this earth is the best
Of what's around
Of what's around
(can we change the world)
(in a day) ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
What's around
(can we open our minds)
(and chase injustice away) oh oh, yeh yay
(we shouldn't give up, tell em to stop)
(driving the whole world to the ground)
(cause this earth is the best)
Of what's around
In this minute they fight
In this minute they die
In this minute they fight
Today seems like yesterday
And yesterday felt like tomorrow
I stare at my reflection in the glass
I wonder where the day's gone
Change, I need a change
I fight the voices in my head
That drag me back to my ugly world
I don't know where they come from
But they're all calling my name
Change, I need a change
Change, I need a change
Everyday of my life is a
Constant struggle
Between that which is right and that
Which is wrong
And I realize that I'm a slave
To temptation
An idea comes to mind
Paint a picture for the blind
As the pen reaches the paper
And the words they
Find their rhyme
Am I hoping for an answer
While the clock ticks in time
Ticks in time
I'm at the center of attention
Will they feel the
Anger in my words
Will they feel the
Passion in my voice
Will my cries be heard
Will I change the world
Will I make a subtle difference
Can I see the signs
Will I change the time
I'm not trying to be the hero
Will I change the world
Can we change
An artist leaves his
Dreams on a canvas
The poet bleeds his soul
Placed upon a pedestal
With meanings they left untold
Are they searching for the truth
While their hearts,
Their hearts unfold
The stories told
Did they escape into a painting
Or within a simple rhyme
Leaving the world to chase them
You were alone
You were afraid
You thought you'd die
But you'r still there
We made our time
The best we could
We tried to hide
Beneath the stars
The secret side
Which burned inside
But you made me change
And you made me change
All the things i couldn't face
You helped me you saved me from myself
You'll start again
With someone esle
You'll find your way
So don't regret
We made our time
The best we could
We tried to hide
Beneath the stars
The secret side
Which burned inside
But you made me change
And you made me change
All the things i couldn't face
You helped me you saved me from myself
Run away from me
I got you, in my life (x8)

Change
Did you bring anything that you made yourself?
Did it all come from somebody else?
Are you there, anywhere, on the ground, in a chair
Asking flesh and blood for help
Change, but be yourself now
Change, but be yourself now
Do you go what you know and feel just fine?
Do you try, on the fly, to be fresh?
A bed of nails, a night in jail, that's the hard way to learn
Doing what you're told makes no sense
Change, ah, yeah, but be yourself now
Change, ah, yeah, but be yourself now
Change, ah, yeah, but be yourself now
Change, ah, yeah, but be your real self, real self now
Change, yeah, be yourself now
Change, but be yourself now
Change, but be yourself now
Change, but be yourself now
Tomorrow dive deeper with me
Share them things and we'll go far indeed
We could slow down, holding under
Try everything that ever made you wonder
How to change, but be yourself now
Change, but be yourself now
Change, but be yourself now
Change, change
Change, but be yourself now
Change, but be yourself now, now, now, now, now
Change, but be yourself now
Change, but be yourself now, now, now

Baby please dont change,

And you will never fly again,
'Coz you got one life, to live,
And all my love ,
It's funny how I missed a life
Funny how I missed a life
Happy cause I don't know why
So I say to myself
And I feel the change
Begging my rage
And I know it's a part of our nature
So hear my lecture
Come over, come inside
And let me see the things you hide
Come over, can't you see?
It's a part of reality
So I say to myself
And I feel the change
Begging my rage
And I know it's a part of our nature
So hear my lecture
Feelings are a part of the universe
So why do we change the course?
As white as clouds
As right as rain
A feeling that's right
A feeling of pain
Global is the issue
When they want you to pinpoint
This mortal way of life
Illusions of my knife
Global is the issue (is the issue)
Do you want me to pinpoint?
My mortal way of life
Illusions of the knife
Oh mama
Yeah
Don't hang your head Virginia
You're just wasting your time
We all see stormy weather
Somewhere on down the line
Hear people talking crazy
Like there's no turning back
We see the preachers preachin' murder
We just can't get behind that
Oh, change, it ain't coming for you
Getting high to the turntable spinning your blues
Oh, I, I've been praying for you
Working hard at the factory paying your dues, yeah yeah yeah
Stop hiding there's no reason
What you are waiting for?
There's winners and there's losers
And we ain't playing games no more
Dry your eyes Virginia
Get back on your feet
You ain't got nothing if you ain't got hope
You may be down but you ain't beat
Oh, change, it ain't coming for you
Getting high to the turntable spinning your blues
Oh, I, I've been praying for you
Working hard at the factory paying your dues
Hard at the factory paying your dues, yeah
Change, it ain't coming for you
Getting high to the turntable spinning your blues
Oh, I, I've been praying for you
Working hard at the factory paying your dues, yeah
It ain't coming for you
It ain't coming for you
It ain't coming for you
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
I have opened up my eyes
Now I can see clearly
You told there's no other guy
Who would be as good to me
I fell in love
And didn't start to think what you were doing
But now I know
I don't need you at all, you're no good for me
I've changed my mind
I'm takin' back my love
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
I would never let you down
So you began to use me
You were always afraid of my
Female sensitivity (And you knew that)
I do my best to give you what you want
And you abused me
It's time you go
I'd rather be alone without the heartache
I've changed my mind
I'm takin' back my love
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart
Ohohoho
Change of heart
You made me change my mind, yeah, yeah
I'm takin' back all the love I gave to you, baby
Ohohoho
Yeah, you, yeah, you
Yeah, you!
Ohohoho
You, give it back to me
I'm takin' back my love
Give me back all my love (My love, my love)
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love (My love)
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart (Oh, oh, oh, my love)
Give me back all my love (My love)
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back all my love (My love, my love)
I've had a chance of heart
Give me back me, give me back me....
Change of heart
Change of heart
Change of heart
Change of heart
I'm takin' back my love
Give me back
Give me back all my love
I've had a chance of heart

It's time to wake up
The owners of the night are calling me
I'm ready and I'm willing
To pull out the happy feelings
Something special's in the air for me
The night is mine
I'm gonna keep it just right
An angel in my pocket ride
It feels so right
This mirror's telling no lies
I'm gonna let this magic shine
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine
I feel like winning
I don't know the reason
But something's telling me to let it ride
Got me rockin' and reeling
I don't know what the deal is
There's something special I just can't describe
The night is mine
I'm gonna keep it just right
On my way to paradise
It feels so fine
it feels just like the first time
I'm going all the way this time
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine
This is my night
This is my night
This is my night
Let it shine
This is my night
This is my night
This is my, my, my, my, my night
My, my, my night
It feels so right
This mirror's telling no lies
I'm gonna let this magic shine
Let it shine, let it shine
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (Let it shine)
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (Let it shine)
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (Shine!)
My night
Shine!
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (Let it shine)
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right
I'm gonna let this magic shine (Shine)
This is my night (Tonight)
I'm gonna do it just right

Flower’s bloomin’, mornin’ dew
And the beauty seems to say
It’s a pleasure when you treasure
All that’s new and true and gay
Easy livin’ and we’re givin’
What we know we’re dreamin’ of
We are one havin’ fun
Walkin’ in the glow of love
Walking, ooh, whoa, ho...oh...whoa...
Smilin’ faces, goin’ places
It’s a wonder, it’s so clear
By a fountain, climbin’ mountains
As we’ll hold each other near
Sippin’ wine, we try to find
That special magic from above
As we share our affair
Talkin’ in the glow of love
Oh, oh, ooh...
In the glow of love
Ooh...ooh...ooh...
(Here in glow of love) You’re a shinin’ star
(Here in glow of love) No matter who you are
(Here in glow of love) So I want to let you know you move me, yeah, yeah
(There is no better way to be) Hold me, caress me
(I’m yours forever and a day) We are a sweet bouquet, ey, hey
(Seasons for happiness are here) Can you feel it all around you
(Reason we’re filled with cheer is we’re in rapture it in the glow of love)
Not a cloud showed out in the sky
That very night in Pitch Black City
I was so damned scared, it was dark
It was so dim, it was a shame
Just then a man walked up to me and said,
"Didn't I see you here before?"
The lights were low and the party was so dull
Just how would he know?
Holiday (Ey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Holiday (Holiday, what you say)
Holiday
Celebrate (Ah yeah)
Holiday
Holiday (Alright)
Holiday
Celebrate (Woo)
Then we both held hands in each other
Saw a chance to start a new thing
He reached deep inside of his vest
And in his hand he held a ring
Let's have lunch, picnic or a brunch in the wintertime
Let's disco down in a rollerskating ring in Alaska town
Holiday (Holiday)
Holiday (Come on, come on celebrate)
Holiday (Woo, woo, woo, woo)
Celebrate
Holiday (You got the feeling, come on, keep ahead)
Holiday (Reelin' holiday, yea, yea)
Holiday (Owwww)
Celebrate
(Musical Interlude)
Not a cloud showed out in the sky
That very night in Pitch Black City
I was so damned scared, it was dark
It was so dim, it was a shame
Just then a man walked up to me and said,
"Didn't I see you here before?"
The lights were low and the party was so dull
Just how would he know?
Holiday
Holiday
Holiday
Celebrate
Hit the town in the cold of the night
Looking round for the
warmth of the light
There was fog all around
So I guess no one saw me arriving
I was tired and awake for some time
Then my lights hit a welcoming sign
It said if you're alone
You can make this your home
If you want to
Owwww
Searchin, Searchin (For so long)
Searchin (Searchin)
Searchin, Searchin (I
just wanted to dance)
Searchin
Stepped outta the night
It was brighter inside
Someone come and asked me my name
Taken back by surprise
What I saw with my eyes
A girl in a love's disguise
(Chorus)
She said stop! stop! stop!
Get out your heart
Haven't got a lot
But play the part
Mister stop! stop! stop!
Get out your heart
What I've got's hot stuff
The night is ours
Coffee glass that had
fell from my hand
Like a child couldn't
quite understand
What was I doin there
Far away from nowhere
On my own
I was tired and awake for some time
Just the light playing
tricks with my mind
Was she there in a crowd
Was the music too loud
Was I dreaming
Searchin, Searchin (For so long)
Searchin (I dont want
romance I just want my
chance searchin)
Searchin, Searchin (Yeah)
Searchin
Just came by here by chance
Only wanted to dance,
No news, no her, no, no, no one
Taken back by surprise
What's in front of my eyes
This girl in a love's disguise
This is for the very best in you
This is for the very best in you
Something very special
So sweet, so divine
And you’re such a lovely lady, yeah
And I’m so glad that your heart is really mine
I get excited
About this love that found
And I’m glad we got together
It’s so nice havin’ you around

Everything I hoped for, yeah
In a girl I could find
And you’re so understanding, baby
You’re so sweet and you’re so kind

From my heart I must say

Come hold me, come on, girl, stay right here
This is for the very best in you
Can’t you see, girl, you’ve got to understand
This is (I need) for the very (I want) best in you
Oh, oh, I got to have you

From Here To Eternity
Sheer Attraction
We're lying here just contemplating
While the heavenly bodies are rotating
Held in orbit by the powers of sheer attraction
And in this universal vastness
You and I still cling to this madness
Kept together by the forces of sheer attraction
Earth moves forever
On its eternal course
Your limbs entwined in mine
Caught up in gravitational force
Our beating hearts
Swell our heated veins
Unite two solar systems
On one relentless flame
You and I
In the force of sheer attraction
You and I
And the forces of sheer attraction
Your fingers - searching and drifting
Arouse me with their dancing and shifting
Awaken in me forces I cannot fathom
And far above this place where we're lying
Two great stars in space are colliding
Brought together by forces of sheer attraction
Earth moves forever
On its eternal course
Your limbs entwined in mine
Caught up in gravitational force
Our beating hearts
Swell our heated veins
Unite two solar systems
On one relentless flame
You and I
In the force of sheer attraction
You and I
This is for the very best in you
This is for the very best in you
Something very special
So sweet, so refined
And you're such a lovely lady, yeah
And I'm so glad that
Your heart is really mine
I get excited
About this love that we found
And I'm glad we got together
It's so nice having you around me
This is for the very best in you
Because there's no one better
This is for the very best in you
Oh, girl, everything I hoped for, yeah
In a girl I could find
You're so understanding, baby
You're so sweet and you're so kind
I really mean it, oh, baby
From my heart, I must say
I'm never, never, ever
Gonna leave you, yeah
Cause right here is
Where I'll always stay
You are my lover
And you turn me on
I thought I'd never find
A love so strong
Please, say to me
This love will never end
This is for the very best in you
Because there's no one better
This is for the very best in you
It's all for you
This is for the very best in you
This is for, this is for
This is for the very best in you
All the love I have within
This is for the very best in you
I get excited bout you, baby
This is for the very best in you
Ooh, something very special
So sweet, so refind
And you're such a fine lady
I'm so glad that your body's mine
You are my lover
And you turn me on
I thought I'd never find
A love so strong
Please, say to me
This love will never end
This is for the very best in you
Can't you see, baby
This is for the very best in you
All the things I have inside is for you
This is for the very best in you
And I want you to know that
I'm never, ever gonna leave
This is for the very best in you
It's so nice having you around me
This is for the very best in you
Come on, baby, come on, girl
Stay right here
Words from the heart
Like verse of angels passing by
Are etched in time
The stones can't speak
My fleeting soul and inner peace
They cannot lie
I didn't need this pain
I never thought it could rain so hard on me
Change
Is only good when it is mutual
This life's perpetual
I came through grief
And I feel you near to me
A constant memory
Sit by the window
Watching summer rain fall down
Like April snow
I didn't want this pain
I never thought it could rain so hard on me
ChangeIs only good when it is mutual
This life's perpetual
I didn't want this pain
Judy Garland said it well
Never be a second rate version of somebody else
You’ve got your own two wings
And you can choose to fly or fall
Got a three room apartment in a run down part of town
There’s a dream I’m chasin,’ don’t tell me to slow down
Everybody’s so quick with advice about who I’m suppose to be
But when it comes to me
I wont march in step, I’m gonna play right outta time
And when they say jump I wont ask how high
Love me, hate me, leave or take me
Just don’t make me change
Who says that sneakers can’t go with a dress
Who says that singin’ in tune, is a thing of the past
Sometimes I’ve a got reckless side, lookin’ for a rule to break
Cause you can’t get over the rainbow without makin’ a few mistakes
I wont march in step, I’m gonna play right outta time
And when they say jump I wont ask how high
Love me, hate me, leave or take me
Just don’t make
Don’t make, don’t make me change
Don’t make, don’t make me change
Don’t make, don’t make me change
Don’t you make me
Don’t make, don’t make me change
Don’t make, don’t make me change
Don’t make, don’t make me change
I’m gonna do my own thing
I wont march in step, I’m gonna play right outta time
And when they say jump I wont ask how high
Love me, hate me, leave or take me
Just don’t make me change
Don’t make me change
koj – Change
You thought you could change but you just remained the same
You thought you could bend but your legs wouldn't move an inch
So you must try to find a way
To make amends to make a change
But everything only stays the same
'Cause you are stuck in yesterday
Go, go, go, go so far away, 'way, 'way, 'way
Because you know, you know so well
That everything stays the same within yourself
You thought could run
From the person you have become
You thought you could feel
But you left everything undone
So you must try to find a way
To make amends to make a change
But everything only stays the same
'Cause you are stuck in your old ways
Go, go, go, go so far away, 'way, 'way, 'way
Because you know, you know so well
That everything stays the same within yourself
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go so far away, 'way, 'way, 'way
Because you know, you know so well
shining eyes, so should i stare, my love
to falling on your lie,
I change, I change
Weight kills eyes, Should i be scared my love
shouldnt be awake, Awake, Awake
Change
You know im feeling so much
Change
You know my will to change
So im loving you
Change
You know im feeling so much
Change
You know my will to change
So im loving you
All this time you've been smiling
So young, 0hhhh! So young. So young
Change
You know im feeling so much
Change
You know my will to change
So im loving you
Change
You know im feeling so much
Change
You know my will to change
A wind of change has come my way
I can't hold on to yesterday
I guess it doesn't mean a thing
But time, it changes everything
I feel you're miles and miles away
And I can't waste another day
Cause nothing feels the way it did before
I guess deep down I need a little more...
Days will shine on me
Nights will shelter me
Still will I think of you
(I think of you)
Skies will cover me
Will I suddenly find
That I'm missing you
(I'm missing you)
Life can make you fade away
When you don't leave and you can't stay
And now I long for everything
I guess it might not mean a thing
Maybe I'll look back one day
Regret the price I had to pay
For having left all that I had before
On my way driving in my car
I saw the light of a falling star
She took my hand and made me understandI cought a glimpse of a secret land
I`ve been dreaming
running through my fantasy
twisting curiosity
gazing, feeling
waiting here impatiently
longing for your company it`s
strange
the angels fall from the sky
I don`t know why
close my eyes
trying to interchange
their spirits peaceful and shy
wondering why
close my eyes in discuise, realize
I`m looking for a change
On your way down the avenue
guardian angels watch over you
some may say: I don`t care anyway!
ask for help on the other day
I´ve been dreaming
They`re coming down from outer space
living here without a trace
fading, feelingstanding on the borderline
recognize the signs of time it`s
Chorus repeat
Lalalalalalala Ooooohh
I`ve been dreaming
running through my fantasy
twisting curiosity
fading, feeling
They`re standing on the borderline
recognize the signs of time it`s
[Intro:]
Yeah
See What It Is...Is, The Whole World Is Fucked Up, Muthfuckers Need
Change, Thats Just Real
Yeah
Ride With Me Y'all
Come On, Change With Me Y'all, Yeah Yeah!
Uh Huh, Change With Me Y'all, Uh Huh
[Verse 1:]
Change Bring Another Melody
Lack Of Funds Brings Another Felony
Lack Of Money In The Ghetto See
Niggaz Do Crime To Quick Fix The Deficit
The President Builds Bombs To Increase The Deficit
Rise In The Millitant Forms To Sane Millitant Force, Outlines Los Angeles Law
Same Millitant Forces Riddin Pale Horses
Givin People The Propaganda Of Good Service
Lip Service The Whole Nation Is Nervous, From Old Ways That Come Back
To Murder Us
Been Two Years We've Been Lookin For Bin Laden
And We Ain't Find Him, Now We Got Another Problem In Saadam
Change Bring An Understanding, They Wanna Change The Last Part Of The
Planet To Aim Democratic An
Change For The World To Unite, Stop Livin The Lie, Start Speaking The
Truth, Who's Willing To Die
For A Little Bit Of Truth, Who's Willin To Try
For A Little Bit Of Change, Bust Sluggs In The Sky
[Chorus:]
We Need Change In The Government, Change In The Schools
To Change The Whole History Of Racist Views
We Need Change In The Home, And Change In The Hood
Not A Change For Worst, But A Change For Good
We Need Change
[Verse 2:]
Saadam Got Caught And Forced To Surrender
Many Realised Now He's Just A Sand Nigga
Tony Blair Wasn't Rollin, And They All Just Watchin
Never Caught Him, But You Barely Hear News On Bin Laden
Here's The Facts...
They Accepted The Patriot Act To Stop Terror, When We The Only Targets
For Those Weapons
Meanwhile The City Is As Hot As It's Ever Been
The Media Say It's War Between Niggaz And Mexicans
Now Thats Something That I Can't Understand Or Wouldn't Conceive
Black And Brown Come From The Same Seed
We Need...
[Chorus:]
Change In The Mind, A Change In The Soul
A Change In The Body To Make My Life Whole
We Need Change In The Streets, A Change In The Way That We Think
Nothing is ever the way we want
We travel thought time seeking out the cure
To our faith and nothing more
But this is the life we've chosen
Why can't we turn our hate on you?
We felling lost and insecure
Nothing is ever the way we want
We continue to bounce to the sound of war
We conceive the perfect land of the free
By killing our pride and dignity
(Chrous)
Why can't we turn our hate to you?
We felling lost and insecure...
We spend our days wondering why
But the truth is just another lie
I feel there's nothing I can do to change
My hate is stronger than you
I'm living with these chains around me
I'm living with the fear beside me
I'm living just for living day by day
I turn the seeds of time and in my everlasting dream
I see the world changing and knowing that I'm there
I'am changing I'm changing too...
(Chorus)
Why can't we turn our hate to you?
We felling lost and insecure
You think you've got the time to figure it out
Life will pass you by,
Your time is running out, oh yeah
You're haunted by your troubles everyday
Wastin' smiles away,
What's there left to say?
You gotta make believe
And make your dreams come true
It ain't that hard to do...
I can't change, I can't change the world alone
I need you all, everybody,
Start dreamin' of it
Take a step that's gonna make a difference and change your world
I can't change, I can't change the world alone
I need you all, everybody,
Start dreamin' of it
Take a step that's gonna make a difference and change your world
Strangers' faces that you just wanna hide
Won't you turn the tide?
A smile can change it all
You gotta make believe
And make your dreams come true
It ain't that hard to do...
I can't change, I can't change the world alone
I need you all, everybody,
Start dreamin' of it
Take a step that's gonna make a difference and change your world
I can't change, I can't change the world alone
I need you all, everybody,
Start dreamin' of it
Change is in the air
Breathe it in and feel it all around
It's asking you to open up your mind
Packing up my things
Drive them back to where they once belonged
I wonder if she's wondering of me
I wonder if she's gonna open her arms or turn her back on me
Oh, what a trip it's been but I've had enough now
The summer's beat, now it's fast asleep again
Winter's near and I have the fear that I know I love you
But do you love me too? Do you?
Measuring a life
And where you are is not a matter of time
There's more to me than time has let you see
There's more to know so don't let it go 'cause love is lifting me
Oh, what a trip it's been but I've had enough now
The summer's beat, now it's fast asleep again
Winter's near and I have the fear that I know I love you
But do you love me too? Do you?
Oh, what a trip it's been but I've had enough now
The summer's beat, now it's fast asleep again
Winter's near and I have the fear that I know I love you
But do you love me too? Do you?
I didn't always feel this strong
Light on the water and my song
Time and place where I belong
I didn't always feel so clear
As in the moment I appear
Beauty seems so real this year
And don't you know that
L, O, V, Easy when you
B, E... Y, O, U, for me
C, H, A, N, G, E will set you free
It's true
If Y, O, U, Be L, I, E, V, E
Faith is knowing what you know
Letting the colder seasons go
Deep in the heart where meaning flows
And you can tell that
L, O, V, Easy when you
B, E... Y, O, U, for me
C, H, A, N, G, E will set you free
It's true
When Y, O, U, Be L, I, E, V, E
Sometimes I see the future
Always some kind of story
Sometimes I see a picture
Always there is a meaning
We, don't, need, H, A, T, E
To C, H, A, N, G, E the W, O, R, L, D, (D, D, D, D, D, D)
L, O, V, Easy when you
B, E... Y, O, U, for me
C, H, A, N, G, E will set you free
It's true
Woke up this morning, put on my make up
I didn't stop to think of what? s going on
Outside my window, the world is changing
I can't remember where it all went wrong
I see people crying and families hurting
A mama's praying that her baby comes home
I see the future of a better place
So I wanna make, make this a place
Where we can forget all the problems of yesterday
Let's make a change for a better today
Let it begin with me, make it reality, I wanna change
I never believed that, that, that things will never change
'Cause whenever I look back, back, nothing has stayed the same
Except that all I see are shadows of me, times where
I just fail to believe that faith is not whatever you see
But hoping what it really could be
So we can make a difference if we turn it around
The world is upside down
The revolution starts inside, yeah
Change, make this a place
Where we can forget all the problems of yesterday
Let's make a change for a better today
Let it begin with me, make it reality, I wanna change
I wanna change
In need a better future, let's be a part of the cure
Where unity can be the brush to paint a better picture
We need to plant a seed of something we're all in need off
Through God we can make this world
Into something we only dream of
So we can make a difference if we turn it around
The world is upside down
Make this a place
Where we can forget all the problems of yesterday
Let's make a change for a better today
Let it begin with me, make this reality, I wanna change
I wanna change, I wanna change, I wanna change
Mama, I feel so scared
For three years
Liberty and walking free
Was every night my fantasies
And Mama, I feel so afraid
So swallow me up your open gates
The unknown awaits me
'Cause I don't think I could ever ever change
I would change if I could
I'd change
I would change for you
"Listen son, don't be scared
Please don't be afraid
The monsters, they're gone
They're well on the run
And your mother's here
So let's earn each others love
And never until it's something unconditional
So come on, son
Bring back that smile again,
And be led not into temptation
And dare to resist re-offending again
'Cause son, truly
It's never too late to change
A change is sometimes good
But before you change for me
It was like a dream I will talk about it all
The time we spend I just knew I had it all
U wantet what for me to give it all
U took from me well I got just lost at all
I tell u how I feel
It wouldn't mean a thing
Cause if I gotta do to u
I would see a change
It took a while to let it go
I'll just be alone
Deleting all the messages
U left me on the phone
U actin like I'm makin messed up
Like everybody don't know what's the deal
My boys try to tell me waz up
Cause see by the way u wasn't real
Why do u keep sayin everything will change

And sometimes it got let gotta let go baby

Cause if I gotta do to u

It took a while to let it go

Deleting all the messages

To go our ways
Because
There ain't no way
I see no change
Take care, farewell
Adios, good bye
[x2:]
U actin like I'm makin messed up
Like everybody don't know what's the deal
My boys try to tell me waz up
Cause see by the way u wasn't real
Why do u keep sayin everything will change
It's just another day I can't breath
It's playing in my mind when I sleep
The pictures in my head, they won't leave
The faces look so strange, they're staring with cold eyes
They wanna
Change me, and change the things I see
Change me, and change the way I
See the world
They wanna steal my thoughts and believes
They wanna take it all away from me
Steal the reason I exist
The faces look so strange, the'yre staring with cold eyes
They wanna
Change me, and change the things I see
Change me, and change the way I
[Verse 1]-
It’ like I’m losing my brain
Goin in sane
This life can’t remain
It’s like I’m living in the fast lane
The streets just ain’t the same
It’s getting worse as if the youths were cursed
But first, I’m here to tell you that we gotta make a change
Rearrange
Shine your light like photochemical exchange.
Get down wit the youths like ya spposed to
Cutin through the ruff times we’re gonna peruse, it’s true
Straight through the gate
No time for hesitate
We’re gonna set the rate
Let your soul levitate
No time for hate ya’ll.
[Hook]-
We gotta change, this broken earth
People killin people diein, what’s the worth.
We gotta change, this broken earth
People killin people diein, what’s the worth.
[Verse 2]-
Refuges searching for the Lord in this land over seas
Cap-tives prepare to begees
When we rhyme chains are broken every time
The luvs divine
You’ll be living just fine.
Ay yo I come in this new mix
Change yo ways it’s time to get fixed
Preaching through my lyrical biblical mind
You’ll find, the glory of my God it is so divine.
It’s yo time, to get saved
Rearrange your life
Drop the knife
Do what’s rite
Start to handle life
[Hook]-
We gotta change, this broken earth
People killin people diein, what’s the worth.
We gotta change, this broken earth
People killin people diein, what’s the worth.
[Bridge] - [Spoken]-
The world is fallin’ at a steady pace
Blacks ‘n’ whites keep hatin’ each race
I’m hear too try an’ bring peace in this place
But e gotta work together so as …
[Verse 3]-
I step in the door
We hitting the score
We broken down barriers we bout to brake down some more
Let’s get deep down to tha core
Brakin’ tha floor
Let’s fly
We’re gonna soar
Well should I mention some more?
We gotta get the world changing
Rearranging
Minds working
Cause there’s so many people hurting.
Change, don’t stop
We gotta get it straight to tha top
We’re gonna change as if we took it to a beauty shop
Don’t let it flop
It’s a new revolution
End of full stop.
[Hook]-
We gotta change, this broken earth
People killin people diein, what’s the worth.
We gotta change, this broken earth
All alone inside your pain
No one understand the way you're feeling
Trap beneath the clouds and rain
The rain at the left for you to believe in
So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Sometimes, and I will pray
And yes I'll pray
That someday
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
I wish I can take it all away
And give you the freedom for just a day
To feel the love you've been longing for
So strong you couldn't feel sad anymore
So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Sometimes, and I will pray
And yes I'll pray
That someday
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
So don't give up and don't give in
When there's a choice to synch with swift
Cause in the end
Our hope is stand
Knowing you become a better man
A better man
So when it's hard to see
The forest through the trees
Just know
That I will pray
And yes I'll pray
That someday
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
It's gonna change
It's gonaa change
It's gonna change
Goodbye for the last time
As if I havent practiced
As if I'm surprised
We try from the top line
I'm lost without you near me
And lost in my mind
But I won't know until I go
To be with you one day
One day
Change is coming on faster than I thought it would
I'm losing all my faith
You woke me up before you left
And I won't forget that
Change is coming on faster than I wanted
Feels like I am dreaming
I run away from monsters
But they're scared of me
My arms and legs are all screaming
It's hard enough to wake
It's hard to stay asleep
But I won't know until I go
To be with you one day
One day
Change is coming on faster than I thought it would
I'm losing all my faith
You woke me up before you left
And I won't forget that
Change is coming on faster than I wanted
Running after you I take your hand
But you fall away
It's too late
I'm too late
But I won't know until I go
To be with you one day
One day
Change is coming on faster than I thought it would
I'm losing all my faith
You woke me up before you left
And I won't forget that
Don't say that every little thing is okay,
Don't say you're never gonna go,
Go away
Change, and you fall behind,
And in your mind,
It is so strange,
And you see the flames,
The window panes, and the stains
Don't say that every little thing is alright,
Don't say we're never gonna fade,
In the night
Change, and you fall behind,
And in your mind,
It is so strange,
And you see the flames,
The window panes, and the stains
Don't say that every little thing is opaque,
Don't say we're always gonna stay,
Stay awake
Change, and you fall behind,
And in your mind,
It is so strange,
And you see the flames,
The window panes, and the stains
You walked into the room
I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool
You were a photograph
When it's all too late
It's all too late
I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve
When it's all too late
It's all too late
(Chorus)
Change
You can change
(Repeat)
And something on your mind
Became a point of view
I lost your honesty
You lost the life in you
When it's all too late
It's all too late
We walk and talk in time
I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me
Become the start of you
When it's all too late
It's all too late
Chorus
What has happened to
The friend that I once knew
Has he gone away
It's all too late, It's all too late
Change
when things started to end I knew there was a change now I just think you know I will not stop to glow when things started to end I knew there was a change now everything's a mess so it's time I must confess I don't love you anymore I can do without
I don't care if you don't care I'm floating through this open air losing control and for nothing at all
duck! if you don't want them to shoot you and you know that I won't hurt you you know it's true and you know it's fine but my friend you crossed the line so I don't need you any more I can do with out!
Moses comes down from the mountain and he's pissed
Steps right up to the red sea and he flicks his wrists
He says "y'all coulda built a boat, if anybody had the guts
While I was up there talking to plants and growing my beard to my nuts"
Moses comes down from the mountain, yes he did
Meditate time is over and he's flipped his lid
He walks right out in the mud and says "all y'all are my blood"
"but you let the pharoahs push you around
And though you do think I'm deranged you can change
Yeah you can, you can change
Oh my god, you can change
Here we go, change oh change oh come on now
Moses could be a bitch with a capital be
Talk a bunch of weird shit and you had to agree
A bunch of jewish slaves with one foot in their graves
Tired of pushing two ton stones?
They're not in the mood to be saved
But moses had range he could change
Yeah you can, you can change
Green or red, you can change
Red to blue, change oh change oh come on now
Check your pulse now! it's heart attack time!
Check your pulse now! it's heart attack time!
Check your pulse now! it's heart attack time!
Check your pulse now! check your pulse now! (x2)
Moses comes down from the mountain in a huff
Said "you may like your life but I've had enough
I've looked and looked within
And now I'm gonna pull the pin
You want the lord to send you a sign?
A burning bush ain't so strange if you change"
Yeah you can, you change
Oh my god, you can change
Cut me into comfort portions
in the name of common fortune
tell me 'bout your life I'm dry
Your meaningless wisdom
and fake ass boredom
you're the king of the world
and the queen of whoredom
Do you smell that
there is something
in the air tonight
I'm gonna burn your house
and bury you inside
I'll bury you inside
I'll bury you alive
Change this world for me
you know that I'm not the one
to disagree
Change this world for me
you know that I'm not keen
on being free
Side by side we stand together
you make me feel like I can't do better
I'm bad in what I love the most
the worst of all from coast to coast
so take your time my lovely brother
as soon as I'm on you will have to suffer
Do you smell that there is something
in the air tonight
I'm gonna burn your house
and bury you inside
You're the chosen one
You're the only son
come and let me die again
Turn the black into white
make me live through your lies
Number one is an omnipotent God
Number two is that he loves you
Number three is you turned your back on him
And now it's time to change that all, now it's time to change
Number one is he sent his only son
Number two is he died instead of you( died for you)
Number three is his blood paid for all your sins (his blood cleanses your sin)
And now it's time to change, come on
Now it's time to change
Don't you know him?
Know his name.
Don't you know him?
Don't you know his name?
Jesus Christ is the Lord of Lords.
Jesus Christ is the king of kings.
Jesus Christ died for all your sins.
And now it's time to change, come on.
Now it's time to change
(Hallelujah x 3)
Number one is to believe on him
Number two is confess your sin
Number three is to turn from sin and flee
You must commit to follow him, you must commit to change
Now you know him, know his name.
Now you know him, now you know his name.
Jesus Christ is the Lord of Lords.
Jesus Christ is the king of kings.
Jesus Christ died for all your sins.
And now it's time to change, come on.
Now it's time to change
Number one is he's coming back again
Number two to judge me and you
Number three is damnation comes from sin
Come on now and turn to him, he'll wash away the sin.
Now you know him, know his name.
Now you know him, now you know his name
If you could see him through my eyes
Big night at last
You're gonna follow through
Don't sleep just play it smooth
You know they see right through
Fake smile, small talk
No much longer now
To we can find some fun
And get away from everyone
(Bridge)
Mama what can I do to show you
He's the one I'll never lose ooohhh
(Chorus)
If you could see him through my eyes
Then you could see that guy that sets me free
If you could hear his tender voice
Then you would find that he's the one for me
Phone calls, 2 a.m.
Keep it on the low
No more hanging after school
If they know what we're up to
Just wait
I know that it's hard for you
Hi baby, come around
By then we're all I be cool
(Bridge)
Papa what will it take to show you
He's the one I'll never lose oohhhh
(Chorus)
If you could see him through my eyes
Then you could see that guy that sets me free
If you could hear his tender voice
Then you would find that he's the one for me
We okay
Will they say
We okay (Oh we okay)
Will they say, say, say, say, say
(Chorus)
If you could see him through my eyes
Then you could see that guy that sets me free
If you could hear his tender voice
Then you would find that he's the one for me
If you could see him through my eyes
Then you could see that guy that sets me free
If you could hear his tender voice
and I will never see the truth,
this is not a matter of my youth.
I do not need anybody else,
bonds would put my mind into cells.
and I will never know I was wrong,
never listen to those truly strong.
I do not fear anything that's not me,
ignorance is the ultimate key.
but I wouldn't want to live like this forever.
but change myself? never, never!
the very thought sends shivers down my spine.
I'm sure everything, everything will be fine.
I am the one who cries out at night,
for somebody to change my very core.
not sure why I live in endless fright,
doomed to love only myself forevermore.
I am the one who has no real friends,
shallow people flocking to my banner.
always trying to make easy amends,
cherishing my own overbearing manner.
life - always fragile.
I will never change.
love - always fleeting.
I will never change.
life - always fragile.
I will never change.
love - always fleeting.
I will never change.
but I wouldn't want to live like this forever.
maybe I really was too clever.
but I wouldn't want to end like that.
I would die lonely and incredibly sad.
I will never drag myself out of this,
the shadows of my past bogging me down.
feeling lost in turmoil and crisis,
my face forever set in an endless frown.
I have been hurt beyond mental repair,
thence destined to suffer eternal damnation.
no one can be there for me to care,
but without I will never find salvation.
lust - always empty.
but I will never change.
death - always tempting.
but I will never change.
lust - always empty.
but I will never change.
death - always tempting.
but I will never change.
everything is about control.
I must never slip, nor ever fall.
anything is possible for me.
I must never doubt, and finally be free.
From a halo to a crown of thorns.
When the crowd that formed didn't care.
So you start embracing uniforms.
'Cos uniforms just keep them warm,
To be fair.
Change, and you change to fit the times.
And they're changing all the time.
And the parts you wished to keep.
Are now buried with the times.
Human nature made you change your mind,
When there wasn't any time to prepare.
And believing was your only crime
Too naïve, and now it's payback time.
Had a hunch that this is what you'd find.
When eventually you got there
Change, and you change to fit the times.
And they're changing all the time.
And the parts you wished to keep.
Are now buried with the times.
And they're changing all the time.
Don't get buried with the times,
'Cos they're changing all the time.
Don't get buried with the,
