Lyrics

CHANGE EVERYTHING
© David A. Kowal/Barbara A. Murphy

Have you ever tried to fix a broken flower?
Have you ever tried to stop the rain?
Well if you did then you’d know it takes hours.
To find out there are things that you can’t change.

Have you ever tried to fix a broken mirror?
Have you ever tried to mend each pain?
Well if you did then you’d know that a mirror
Once broken, can’t be put together the same

You can’t change anything
All you did will remain
The only thing that you can change is what you will become
So to live your life and be what you will be
Change everything

Have you ever tried to fix a word misspoken?
Have you ever tried to not take blame?
Well if you did then you’d know that I’m sorry
Is token if it’s spoken without shame

You can’t change anything
All you did will remain
The only thing that you can change is what you will become
To live your life and be what you will be
Change everything

Change is gonna' come, Heraclites said
Back when change was just like breathing, change was all we did
Then he added one more thought, and this set me free
He said it’s impossible to step into the same stream, twice

Have you ever tried to fix a misdirection?
Have you ever tried to not complain?
Well if you did then you’d know that direction
Only matters once you’re on the train

You can’t change anything
All you did will remain
The only thing that you can change is what you will become
To live you life and be what you will be
Change everything
