Change

Ellis Paul

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

I'm basking in the dream
