Change

Lyrics by Michael Oliva
From the CD "Modern Love"
(P) 2006 Getsemani Music (ASCAP)


See the castle, the sand castles fall
The waves have washed them away
All the hours of time that was spent
Wasted, and washed away
The sea takes the sand with giant blue hands
and Pulls it out as far as it can

We were the castles made out of sand
We were the ones washed away
Ever since then I’ve been swimming towards land
But something still keeps me at bay

Open your eyes
Learn from the past
They said change is coming
And it’s coming fast

Feel the ease of the cool autumn breeze
Driving through tall burning trees
Calming and soothing and taming my soul
Wild and out of control
Jaded, sedated, fully medicated
Wasted and lost in my thoughts
Laying in bed, pillow under my head
With a paper and pen to interpret my thoughts

Open your eyes
Learn from the past
They said change is coming
And it’s coming fast

Open your eyes
Learn from the past
They said change is coming
And it’s coming fast

Older and wiser due to change
The World has been shaken
It won’t be the same
