For The Things That We Cannot Change
for things that we cannot change
we may let them be
hence, i do not wish to change you
for you cannot be you
there is a time always to pray
to know what we can change and what we cannot
to know what is the difference between the two
i have limits too
for things that i can change for those i cannot
i may soon take my leave and go
to places where we do not mind each other anymore
where you are free to grow and be yourself
where i cannot see you anymore and then
i may stop gritting my own teeth

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.

But If You Don’t Love Me Anymore
If you change and don’t love me anymore
If you don’t really care anymore
If you don’t laugh at my jokes
Or does not like my hug
Or kisses
Or my company
If you change
Just say it clearly
No pretenses, no covers, no ambiguities
Nothing equivocal
No regrets
I can manage
I can change too
I can change you too
Lots of them, and they will love me too
Now go. I’ll find another.
There is no bother. No problem.
Leave, while I keep words unkind
Within. Leave while still early, and
Be kind to yourself.
Now we are free, from our
Hypocrisy. Receive the fullness of
This
Blessing in disguise. At last, I am free.
My prayer is too, granted.
if you really do not love me anymore
say it clearly
because i don't
love you anymore too.

If You Could Change It (Would You Change It?)
You were born without a mother,
You were born with a cruel older brother
If it could change,
Would you change it?
You were brought up without any respect for you,
You were sick and tired of it, you're through
If you could change it,
Would you change it?
If only I saw what you had seen,
Maybe things wouldn't have been
You don't trust, anymore,
You don't love, anymore,
And I wish I could have changed it,
Every single bit,
So you'd love me better.
If it could change,
Would you change it?

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!

Free Bird
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me
For I must be traveling on now
Theres to many places I got to see
***chorus***
And if I stay here with you boy
Things just couldnt be the same
Cause Im as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I cannot change
Bye-bye baby its been a sweet love
Oh this feeling I cannot change
Please dont take it so badly
Lord knows that Im to blame
***chorus***
And if I stay here with you boy
Things just couldnt be the same
Im as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I cant change
Lord help me I cant change
Lord I cant change
So wont you fly high free bird

Change Of Heart
Chris hayes / huey lewis
I know it happens almost every time
I also know that nothing last forever
So now you wanna go and change your mind
Forget about the time we spent together
Do you think that Ill shoot myself,
When you tell me that its over ?
You say you, had a change of heart
You better think it over, baby.
Cause if you ever change your mind
I could have a change of heart the next time.
You really know just how to put me off
You say one thing and then you do another.
Now it takes more than that to get me off
You must think that youre a perfect lover.
Do you think that Ill fall apart,
When you tell me that you leavin ?
You say you, had a change of heart
You better think it over, baby.
Cause if you ever change your mind
I could have a change of heart the next time.
Wonder what Ill do with all the time
When Im not here, and Im not on the telephone.
No more worry bout if you do and ill
Cause it wont matter anymore if Im all alone.
Baby I got news for you
It isnt gonna kill me.
You say you, had a change of heart
You better think it over, baby.
Cause if you ever change your mind
I could have a change of heart the next time.
You say you, had a change of heart
You better think it over, baby.
Hey, (hey)
Better think it over
Think it over baby

You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)
You wore out a brand-new trunk
Packin' and unpackin' all your junk
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm gonna leave.
Well, this ain't right and that is wrong
You just keep naggin' all the day long
It's gonna stop, I don't mean please
Now you're gonna change or I'm gonna leave.
The way to keep a woman happy
And her do what's right
Is love her every mornin' and do the same at night
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave.
Every time you get mad
You pack your rags and go back to what you had
You tell her lies she don't believe
You're gonna change or I'm gonna leave.
You're gonna change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you aughten too
Your mama's mad, she done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave.
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave...

Change Your Mind
When you get weak, and you need to test your will
When lifes complete, but theres something missing still
Distracting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Convincing you (change your mind)
When youre confused and the world has got you down
When you feel used and you just cant play the clown
Protecting you from this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Protecting you (change your mind)
Restoring you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Soothing you (change your mind)
You hear the sound, you wait around and get the word
You see the picture changing everything youve heard
Destroying you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Destroying you (change your mind)
Embracing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Confining you (change your mind)
Distracting you (change your mind)
Supporting you (change your mind)
Distorting you (change your mind)
Controlling you (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
The morning comes and theres an odor in the room
The scent of love, more than a million roses bloom
Embracing you with this must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch can change your mind
Dont let another day go by without the magic touch
Embracing you (change your mind)
Concealing you (change your mind)
Protecting you (change your mind)
Revealing you (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind (change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind
Change your mind, change your mind

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
cause theres too many places Ive got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I cant change.
But please dont take it badly,
cause lord knows Im to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
Cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird youll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.

Why Do I Feel So Sad?
Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be
Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh
By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

When Will Things Change
the world is unworthy and things countine to be dirty when will things change. when the world is full of mess and people just countine to strees, when will things change. when the streets are some of our homes never knowing why were alone, when will the world change. people cry at night just to give up a fight, when will things change. when you need to cry and you need someone 'why' when will things change.
when the world is sour and people have way to much power, when will things change. crying about the past, the things that never last. when will things change. when the world around you is cold, and shared feelings never seem to bold when will things change. when the world comes at you fast and ever part of your stress continues to last. when will things change.

I'm stuck in the past
For so long we were friends,
we were family.
What happened,
we were no more.
Why must things change,
for the worse.
Many memories I have,
we had fun.
But what changed,
we are no longer the same.
Why must things change,
for the worse.
Many laughs we shared,
we went places.
What happened,
now you hate me.
Why must things change?
Why do things change?
Why do we dwell on the past?
Why cant we move on?
Why must things change?

Mind
Time wont change you
Money wont change you
I havent got the faintest idea
Everything seems to be up in the air at this time
I need something you change your mind
Drugs wont change you
Religion wont change you
Science wont change you
Looks like I cant change you
I try to talk to you, to make things clear
But youre not even listening to me...
And it comes directly from my heart to you...
I need something to change your mind.

Too Late
See the stop-light turn-in red,
Dont you listen to what its said.
All the things you try to hide,
They keep you runnin hard inside.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Oo, yes, my friend, youre fadin fast, if you stay here you wont last.
Before your time has run astray, youve got to try to get away.
Oh, you got to leave this place before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late to make the change
Yes, its time to make the change, yes, its time to rearrange,
So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right.
Oh, you got to leave this town before its...
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
Too late to make the change.
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late, too late, to make the change
Too late to make the change
Too late, before its too late.

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
