Change


Change, like the wind

Like the water, like skin

Change, like the sky

Like the leaves, like a butterfly


Would you live forever, never die

While everyone around passes?

Would you smile forever, never cry

While everything you know passes


Death, like a door

To a place we've never been before

Death, like space

The deep sea, a suitcase


Would you stare forever at the sun

Never watch the moon rising?

Would you walk forever in the light

To never learn the secret of the quiet night?


Still, like a stone

Like a hill, like home

Still, what I find

Is you are always on my mind


Could I feel happy for you

When I hear you talk with her the way we used to?

Could I set everything free

When I watch you holding her like you once held me?


Change, like the sky

Like the leaves, like a butterfly

Death, like a door

To a place we've never been before


Would you live forever, never die

While everything around you passes

Would you smile forever never cry?
