Things Change

Here's one from the archives. I used to work at a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for troubled teen girls. So I wrote this song for them.

Things Change

Sometimes the clouds come because we need rain.
Sometimes the healing causes the pain.
There's time when my heart takes a picture or two.
Times when you've changed me or I've some how changed you.

Some days the time stops or at least it stands still.
Sometimes you ache to express how you feel.
Other times things change right before your eyes.
And sometimes no one can hear you cry.

And things change. Dreams come alive. People let go. And you survive. Things change. Memories heal. You find the strength to stand still.
Things Change.

Some goodbyes last forever and others are brief.
Some tears are for heartache and some for relief.
Some times when the hurt just won't go away.
Love come to replace it and there it will stay.

Sometimes you can't see the light from the dark.
You're just trying to go out and make your mark.
So you try to make "home" wherever you are.
But the "home" you dream of in your heart is so far.

Things change. Time moves on. Wounds heal. The pain is gone. Things change. They always do. Don't give up. Stay true.
And things change.

And if I had the change to make things stay the same I wouldn't ever.
For change is what brought me to you and changed my life forever.

And things change. Hearts break. Tears fall. Eyes awake. Things change. People move on. Remember me. When I"m gone.
And things change.
