Lyrics
[Snippet]:
Change is a powerful thing
People are powerful beings
Trying to find the power in me
To be faithful
Change is a powerful thing
I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time summer’s done
I’ll be able to be honest,
Capable of holding you in my arms without letting you fall
And I don’t feel beautiful
You’re stable
Maybe it’s enough to just be where we are because
Every time that we run
We don't know what it's from
Now we finally slowed down
We feel close to it
There's a change gonna come
I don't know where or when
But whenever it does
We'll be here for it
There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in softly
On the wings of a song
There's something in the water
I can taste it turning sour
It's bitter
I'm coughing
But now it's in my blood
Lately I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care
Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn?
I've been thinking
[Snippet]:
There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in softly
On the wings of a bomb
There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in hotly
And it's coming in strong
Lately I've been thinking it's just someone else's job to care
