If you want to truly understand something, try to change it.

Never Change
Someone's always tellin' me I'm no good
well I don't care what you say
someone's always givin' me a hard time
well I live day to day
someone's always puting me in my place
like I don't know where I am
so I'll just sit here in the corner
without any
direction
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
I understand that some things will
never change
never change
Someone's always kickin' me to the curb
well it's grindin' off my face
someone's always pushing me to the side
like I'm standing in the way
someone's always getting up in my face
like I don't know who I am
so once again i'm in the corner
without any
direction
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
I understand that some things will
never change
Somebody's always out to get me
somebody's always tryin' to kill me
understand some things will
never change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
Maybe it's it's all in my head
I think that it's something something you said
understand that some things will
never change
never change
Somebody's always out to get me
somebody's always tryin' to kill me
understand some things will never change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
understand some things don't change
Why did you have to go and change
couldn't you just have stayed the same
why did you have to go and say
understand some things don't change
Never change
some things never change
some things never change

Change! Change! Change!
change! change! change!
everybody talkin' about change.
change your look,
change your luck,
change your politics,
change your religion...
change the country,
change the world....
change the day!
change your underwear!
loose change, pocket change,
winds of change, march for change....
but all real change begins within...
let's work on that,
and then everything else
will change in turn!

Close Range
I wanna scream, I wanna shout
I wanna know what its all about
Ive seen it before but not like this
I saw your name, it was on the list
By 4 oclock (its gonna change)
You were pretty high (its gonna change)
Right on the floor (its gonna change)
Looking at the sky (its gonna change)
I remember you (its gonna change)
When you were a kid (its gonna change)
It was pretty strange (its gonna change)
And things you did
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands
No cold heart could turn away
And not be moved by what I saw today
There on the floor, thirty years or more
He doesnt care, he just wants to score
By 4 oclock (its gonna change)
You were pretty high (its gonna change)
Right on the floor (its gonna change)
Looking at the sky (its gonna change)
I remember you (its gonna change)
When you were a kid (its gonna change)
It was pretty strange (its gonna change)
And things you did
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands
Yet it only seems just like yesterday
We used to run and hide
Remember in the park where we used to play
The grass looked ten foot high
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands
Youve got to pull yourself together man
Youve got to get back on your feet again
How can I ever make you understand
Youve got the world right in your hands

They don't understand
They don't understand,
What its like to be me.
They don't understand,
Why school is hard for me.
They don't understand,
Why I'm so skinny.
They don't understand,
Why I have no friends.
They don't understand,

They don't understand,
Why I lie.
They don't understand,
Why life is hard.
They don't understand,

They don't understand,

They don't understand,
Why I have fears.
They don't understand,

Why they don't except me.

I’ll Change My Name
I give you thanks all my people
Congratulations,
For helping change my name
Which initials would not be known to our ancestors.
I’ll change my mother tongue and modify my Alma-matter
I’ll change my voice so you would no longer recognize my songs
I’ll cut all the favorable crops in the farm and plant in it new ones
Just like the frog, I’ll bathe in waters
In order to differ from the toad.
All because I’ll change my name
Which initials would not be known to our ancestors.
I write this to you all my people
That ignorance deserted me from my own land
And I’ll come back no more
I gave it in worlds that you could understand
In parables I left it with others that they would also understand
And tell the ancestors that
I’ll change my name which initials would not be known to them
Tell me if the ancestors are still alive,
Lying there and see you helped me change my name
Tell me if they have lost their eyes and years
That they can’t see and hear
If so, then my people, you those
Whose fire woods have reached your head load
Go and tell them, I say
I’ll change my name which initials would not be known to them.
Once men could now see and hear
That I’ll change my name;
Today that I’m felt with the muse of poetry
In my shabby cloths
I gave it out in words and parables
That you helped me change my name.
Thanks,
Thank you all my people
Congratulations,
Tell them and more handsome rewards from heavens
If not too far from you
Just because you helped me change my name
Which initials would not be known to our ancestors
But still, I’ll change my name.

Social Plague
It's a joy in the life of being me
Social changes
The blackest dust can cover their eyes so they can't see
Social stages
The children modify their own monopoly
Social changes
The KKK wants their own STV
Social places
You must understand that I'm made this way
Don't give a damn if you can't change
Your little narrow mind today
I can't wait for the changes
You can't understand my rage
This thing's going on too long
I can't understand it
Social plague now
2000 strong, they back up white supremacy and I can't take it
I can't take it
Can't prove a thing, one day they'll see
That I'm staying
Within this shell there lies a menace to the core
We can't change it
That's the day when there be no more
Social changes

Errors And Silent Corrections
what i say need not
be what i mean
and you know that
just like what is written
on the slabs of
stone
need not be God's
handwritten orders
know why? the essence
of this world is
fluidity
water, air, space, light
time
they all flow
and there is nothing
which says
that their faces are as
permanent as
a sculpture
we try seizing them
and the
planets around their
orbits
think that we are
as usual
crazy creatures
unable to understand
the natural laws of
change and change
and change and
change.

Managing change
Managing change
Change is inevitable. But how well we manage changes. Often we find it difficult to cope with the change and waste our precious time in pondering over the pleasantries of the past.
We must understand, why at all a change occurred. Necessity, scarce
resources, new environment, updated facilities, etc. bring out changes.
We step in a changed environ without even a hint of the same. The best advice would be to ever be prepared for changes, favourable or otherwise. Let wisdom descend on us to appreciate and enjoy the ever changing colours of the people, places and others of this living space.
Managing change involves assessing the extent and nature of the change. It is essential to assess the gains and losses of a change, so that we get a balance. We need also to know the beneficiaries of a change and others, who may lose some privileges.
We should have the tact to monitor the impact of the change so that
unacceptable deviations are rectified then and there, by effectively
controlling the impact of the change.
We need also the courage to accept the change, even if the impact of a change is uncomfortable

Violet
I watch you comb your hair in different light
You change the chair and seem to think that's alright
I understand
You need a change
When you make that change
Don't look to see
I'm alright
Now that I look at you in different light
Change the chair
A violet unicorn to me that's alright
I understand
You need a change
The world will elevate you world will elevate you
and when you make that change the world will elevate you
And if I told you then that I could cry
Would you take my tears and wash the sunrise
A man afraid has no shame
So when you take those tears don't look to see I'm alright
look to see I'm alright
When you take those tears don't look to see I'm alright
look to see I'm alright
How can I tell you
How can I explain
I want your love I need a change
In me
Ba-da ba-da ba ba-da
Ba-da ba da
Suddenly
You and I will wait
In your dreams
Suddenly

And maybe time will tell

You and I will need a better place
To start all over again
Oh babe

maybe tomorrow
Will Be their brighter day
Be their brighter day-hey day-hey
All over

We'll finally change
With a lesson
With a lesson

Always something new
Always something new
Always something new
Always something

Always something always something

Changing World
Changing world changeth
Waiting for none to stop!
Do I change or not is the question
If not where do I stand is the puzzle!
Born on the earth to reach a goal
Came to the world to play a role!
Can I change the shape or shape the change
Thoughts relevant in mind to face!
Await not but bring the change
Anticipate the effect of change
Unforeseen may be the end
Understand that is the world!
Be yourself and behave yourself
Keep the good of all, all the while!

Change Of Heart
(eric carmen)
I can still recall
When we said that our love was forever
All those plans we made
For tomorrow that looked so bright
And I understand
All the reasons you gave me for leavin
But that doesnt help
When Im sleepin alone each night
So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember its not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
I could find someone
More than willing to be your replacement
But theres no one else
Who can move me the way you do
So for now, goodbye
But if ever you find you still want me
You just call my name
cause Ill always be here for you
So if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember its not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
Nothing you could ever do
Would change the things I know
Deep in my heart
So I got to make you understand before I go
Sooner or later
I dont know when
Im gonna get you back
In my arms again
And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember its not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember its not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do
And if you ever have a change of heart
Just remember its not too late to start
If you still believe in what love can do

Change in Me
Why I need change?
for better or for the worst?
Any choices to change or not?
I need change when
There is an opportunity to grow and mature
Things being done the wrong way
Dealing with a world of change
I rediscover change
Change is the law of life
Those who look only
to the past or the present
Are certain to miss the future
I may change anything I want or don't want
But I can't change everything I want
My dilemma is
I hate change and
love it at the same time
Best of all
What I want is
For things to remain the same
but get better.
Lastly,
I need strong courage to change,
To master change;
Be the master of change.
Always I want change,
To get where I want to be,
Be the change I want to have.

O Kid, What You Meditate Upon?
O Just born infant kid,
why you sleep all the time,
Not opening your eyes,
what you meditate upon?
You just not know were you are,
This world may change you,
Do you think how can you change the world,
Do you think what is around?
Do you know who brought you?
what is that you meditate on,
You are that,
yet ready to fall into MAYA,
And that you brought with your
own karma and samskaras, Egoless state is beautiful,
Not with ignorance,
But with all knowledge,
Crossing the ocean from this
shore of ignorance to other shore
of knowledge, Both shores, the ocean and boat
all being you!
Listen this kid,
Self is that which,
is beyond every form of energy,
Yet is the infinite source of all,
Beyond the stage on which every
perform its show,
There is the neutral enjoyer, Who is dreaming these world, Earth is that fertile womb,
Where this self entered with
desires,
Desire to know the nature!
Just as one wants to love another
to understand more, Or to have one to understand! Only way out is understand the
nature,
And understand your own
nature,
Let nature go in its own way,
let nature leave you to live in your own way,
For that understand what is Self,
Whether nature and self are one,
Or different from one another?
Without Self or nature no one can
be there, If someone is there,
He is that Truth which can't see
and understand Himself!
You came here to conquer,
Not anything, only to conquer
your own nature, Your own idiocy and foolishness!

Hate That Is Not Mine
I hate the way we live
I hate we have to die
I hate the way you want it to be all over
And suddenly change ur mind
I hate you want to hurt yourself
I hate you always cry
I hate I see myself somewhere deep inside your eyes
I hate that I can relate to you
I hate that you cant see
All the good things in your life
I hate you cant see me
I hate when I look in the mirror
Your the person looking back
I hate that every day seems like someone will attack
I hate that I am weak
I hate that you are hear
I hate that I can't change all the things I fear
I hate that I dont hate you
instead I hate myself
for im the one who can't even remember my true self
I hate I let you into my mind
I hate you let me stop living
I hate that I can't stand up to you and understand what im forgiving
I hate I dont talk to you
I hate its not like it use to be
I hate time that makes me change to what you want to see
I hate you couldnt tell this wasn't all my hate
I take your hate into myself and understand my fate
sometimes I dont understand the hate
and still I continue to see
all the hate deep down inside of you
is now inside of me.

Change In Scenery
I'll keep my small town girl name
but you can change the trees
change the breeze
I'll keep my big heart
but you can change the roads
change the toads
I'll keep my ice-melting smile
but you can change the distance
change the miles
I'll keep my soft hands
but you can change the grass
change the land
I'll keep what makes me me
but you can change our untogetherness
and change the scenery

My life. Or yours.
You change for me
I change for you
Why did we change at all
You change for yourself
I change for myself
We look and see
Change wasn't ment to be
We were perfect the way we were
But now it's too late
We still change
Just like society
But not as drastic
You change
I change
We change together
For the better

Our Love Will Never Change
The world will change
But it’s happiness won’t change.
The people will change
But their smiles won’t change.
The seasons will change
But their beauty won’t change.
The days will change
But the sun and moon won’t change.
Just like the color of the pretty sky and snow
Our love will never ever change.
Fantasy Man
I don't drink tea
Or white chablis
I sit around and watch TV
Don't send flowers
Or take showers
But I'll be there to pull your weeds
Oh,yeah
I dont read books
I dont french cook
Or stroll around in galleries
I hate opera
I hate Operah
Don't fill my head with poetry
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?
Hey,hey I ain't gonna' change
Hey,hey don't you love me this way
Hey,hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not your fantasy man
I don't do dishes
And I'm suspricious
Of any grown up man does
I'm homophobie
Don't do aerobics
Just lay around and catch a buzz
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?
Hey,hey I ain't gonna' change
Hey,hey don't you love me this way
Hey,hey I am what I am
So please understand
I'm not your fantasy man
Say hey,hey,hey,hey
You just want to squeeze my masculinity
Why can't you leave it alone?
Hey,hey I ain't gonna' change
Hey,hey don't you love me this way
Hey,hey I am what I am

I Understand
I understand your problem
I understand the reason for your tears
I understand what you went through
don't cry because i'm here
I'm here to catch you when you are falling
I'm here to wipe your tears
Be strong
don't let you mistakes lead you
stand and fight for yourself
don't let go
hold on still
i understand how it hurt
i understand how it feels like
get back on your feet
when stumble and fall
i understand

oh i understand your pain
i understand you went through a lot in life
but remember
be strong, and never give up

Never Will You Ever Understand It
Never will you understand it.
Why things in my heart wont leave.
You will never understand it.
Never will you ever understand it.
Never will you understand it.
Why I express little empathy.
You will never understand it.
Never will you ever understand it.
My mind has grown too agitated and annoyed.
My emotions tied in knots,
Have long dropped as my topic.
I have a peace within,
I'm hoping will never end.
Or come to the point,
I must defend.
Oh...
You will never understand it.
Never will you ever understand it.
