Changes Lyrics by Mike Lindup

Changes

0

Let faith be my shield
And let joy be my steed
'Gainst the dragons of anger
The ogres of greed
And let me set free
With the sword of my youth
From the castle of darkness
The power of the truth

I've struggled as a man
To figure out this life
And what I'm doing with the time
That I've been given
I search to find the reasons
For the wrong and for the right
And it's clear the status quo
I is the first thing that must go

Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow
Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow

I struggled as a boy
To work out wrong from right
Feet of clay by day
Man of steel by night
I wished for some great teacher
That would guide me to the light
But the voice inside me say
There's no quick and easy way

Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow
Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow

Leaders seeking power
Are spoiling for a fight
My learning friends are sure
Who should be chosen
Each day the papers tell me
Who is wrong and who is right
But between the lines I find
No reason in the rhyme

Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow
Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow

There is nothing out of reach in this world
The story told for many years
Can no longer serve us well
There is nothing out of reach in this world
It's in our hands, in our hands

Far away the spirit guides me
Speaks in tongues I understand
Far away the spirit calls to me
A message for the common man

Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow
Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow

Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow
Gonna be some changes
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow

Gonna be some changes
(Changes)
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
(Changes)
To make it through tomorrow
Gonna be some changes
(Changes)
Gonna be some sorrows
We badly need them
To make it through tomorrow

Let faith be my shield
And let joy be my steed
'Gainst the dragons of anger
The ogres of greed
And let me set free
With the sword of my youth
From the castle of darkness
The power of the truth
