Change

(album: Blind Melon - 1992)

I don't feel the sun's coming out today.
It's staying in, it's gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery,
I don't think I'll ever—no, Lord—see the sun from here.

And, oh, as I fade away,
They'll all look at me and say—
And they'll say,
"Hey look at him! I'll never live that way."
But that's okay.
They're just afraid to change.

And when you feel life ain't worth living
You've got to stand up
And take a look around
You look up way to the sky.

And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
Keep on dreaming, boy,
'Cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die.

And as we all play parts of tomorrow—
Lord knows—
Some ways will work and other ways will play.
But I know we can't all stay here forever.
So, I wanna write my words on the face of today.
And then they'll paint it.

And, oh, as I fade away,
They'll all look at me and say—
And they'll say,
"Hey look at him and where he is these days."
When life is hard, you have to change.
When life is hard, you have to change.
