CHANGING WORLD
Lyrics to “Changing World”!
Like You Always Do
Sittin’ down by the waterside
Listenin’ to the waves roll in
Sittin’ thinkin’ about the changin’ world
‘Bout all of the troubles we’re in
Sittin’ down by the waterside
Listenin’ to the wind blow
Listenin’ for eternity
In the midst of the ebb and flow
Oh, When the sun comes up in the morning
You’re gonna raise up your weary head
You’re gonna rise up and face the world
Pull yourself together again
Like you always do
Thinkin’ ‘bout what we call progress
Thinkin’ ‘bout the squeaky wheel
Thinkin’ ‘bout our failin’ wisdom
‘Bout our failure to learn to feel
Castles made of sand
They slip into the ocean
Made by the hands of man
Before they’re finished, they are fleeting
Well if you could part the ocean
Like Moses part its waves
And you got through to the other side
Would you be nearer to paradise?
Song from the Mount
Blessed be the meek
Blessed be the poor
Blest be those who seek
Blest be those who mourn
Blessed be merciful
Blessed be the pure of heart
Blessed be the peaceful
And those who fight for right
Down, down, down it’s gonna rain
Oh, Down down down it’s gonna pour
Down, down, down it’s gonna rain
And you won’t find my tears here anymore
Mercy they will seek
And mercy they will find
Consolation for their souls
They will be satisfied
Stillness
I always thought you fall in love with illusions
Fantasies you form inside your mind
I never knew I could fall for someone
I never knew love could feel so right
I wanna lay with you by my side
Look into your deep brown eyes
See a part of my life
I wanna lay with you by my side
And in the stillness of the night
Find some stillness in my life
I’ve always tried to be so pragmatic
Did what I could to play my part
But I’ve not been one to settle
In matters of the human heart
New Kind of War
I’m a long way from home
I’m so far away
Back in Montana where I’m from
There’s snow on the ground today
But I’m serving my land, my country
Fighting on foreign sands
For the land of the free
Well there’s a new kind of war
There’s a new kind of tragedy
There’s a new kind of war
And a hard describe enemy
Bombs they drop on child, woman and man
Some of them are guilty
But some of them are innocent
Yea, precision targets we say,
Our drone strikes
Precision targets we say,
Our drone strikes
Back in Billings
Life wasn’t so bad
Back before I was this military man
I was a pretty sharp shooter,
That’s what the lieutenant said
So I signed up
To become this phantom military man
This Side of the Romantics
No prisoner of reason
No prisoner of delight
No need for perfect answers
No need for heaven’s height
No need for perfect light
Got my feet on the ground
On this earthly ground
Do you know justice?
Do you know lies?
Do you know the ways of heaven?
Can you hear earth’s cries?
Do you know your own lies?
Tell me ‘bout the world you see
The illusions you believe
Oh we are left on our own
To follow our own devices
We are captured here among the blind
Looking for imperfect solutions
The clock is ticking
Life runs its course
All our formations
They are malformed
They are sad and course
Well I create from love
And I create from fear
Lust and anger
Jealousy and pride
Love and mercy
Will these things survive?
This is my ode to virtue
This is my ode to vise
This is my ode to truth
This is my ode to life
Your Life Again
Walked along the street
Past the church and school
Past all her memories
She was on the run
But time was standing still
As her life passed by
What are you to do
When your time is through
You’re to start your life again
What are you to do
When your time is through
You’re to start your life again
Called her on the phone
But when we were done
I thought I heard her cryin’
Another sad love song
Another love gone wrong
Another love is gone
Oh your days
They turn to night
But your darkness will turn back to light
Oh your days
They turn to night
But your darkness will turn back to light
One Step
You take and give what you can
Though you know this is no promised land
You set off on your own
You don’t know where
But you know you’ve got to go
Well, you take just one step a little bit further
You take just one step a little bit higher
You take just one step a little bit further
You take one step, just one step
Seems at time a long and windin’ road
Seems at times such a heavy heavy load
But you set off on your way
And you take your step each and every day
And though we don’t know where the road goes
And we don’t know where it might end
And though it’s full of insecurities
In this life, there’s no avoiding them
Angel
Water dancin’ under the moonlight
Though the wind is nearly still
We talk and walk on the surfside
Like even young lovers will
It’s a beautiful night to fall in love again
To rekindle that old flame
You know our love is getting stronger
Not stayin’ the same
Won’t you be my angel in the morning?
Be my angel in the night
Be my angel come stormy weather
You know everything….everything’ll be alright
Let’s put the little troubles aside
They don’t mean a thing
Let’s not let our love be denied
You know our love, like wine, gets better with the day
Song for William
Morning sun does rise
And the evening sun it sets
Amidst the toils of our lives
We’ve to withstand time’s tests
Seas they have their ebb and flow
The seasons in circles they do go
Earth it spins around and ‘round
And we sow our seeds in its fertile ground
There are things in this world
No one will ever change
We live our lives
We form ourselves from the cradle to the grave
There are things in this world
No one will ever grasp
We live our lives, we fight our fights
From the first breath until the last
We live our lives
We form ourselves
We walk fine lines
In hand-built citadels
We search with reason
Among the rhyme
Captured in the arms of time
Change the World
Give your body and your mind
You know those who seek will often find
Some of the simple rules that bind us always
Those who seek will often find
Unless in searching they are blind
And they find no reason and no time for forgiving
You better change your world
You gotta change your world
You better change your world
You gotta change your world
You might do what you can do
To protect your world and your worldview
But will it stand if it must stand up to truth
If you’re to die or to live and fight
Is there anything that makes up your life
That’s worth livin’ or fightin’ or worth dyin’ for
You might try to anticipate
The twists and turns of your twisted fate
Have you seen that it’s you who shapes your world?
Your life comes and passes by
But if truth be told is your life a lie
You gotta change yourself
You gotta change your world
