Changes Lyrics

Let faith be my shield, and let joy be my steed 'gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed and let me set free with the sword of my youth from the castle of darkness, the power of the truth I've struggled as a man to figure out this life what I'm doing with the time that i've been given I search to find the reasons for the wrong and for the right and it's clear the status quo is the first thing that must go Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow I struggled as a boy to work out wrong from right feet of clay by day man of steel by night I wished for some great teacher that would guide me to the light but tha voice inside me said there's no quick and easy way Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow Leaders seeking power are spoiling for a fight my learned friends are sure who should be chosen each day teh papers tell me who is wrong and who is right but between the lines I find no reason in the rhyme Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow There is nothing out of reach in this world the story told for many years can no longer serve us well there is nothing out of reach in this world it's in our hands in our hands Far away the spirit guides me speaks in tongues I understand far away the spirit calls to me a message for the common man Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow Gonna be some changes gonna be some sorrows we badly need them to make it through tomorrow Let faith be my shield, and let joy be my steed 'gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed and let me set free with the sword of my youth from the castle of darkness, the power of the truth
