Things've Changed

(album: Not 4 Sale - 2002)

She's a poet, she's a dancer
Like a prophet, got all the answers
Face like an angel, touch like a healer
Look in her eyes, you know you've got to believe her, mmm hmm

Well, I got caught up in where I was going
I couldn't feel the way the wind was blowing
But yesterday I had a vision
Today it looks just like another bad decision

But life goes on, come what may
Pick up the pieces and roll

'Cause things have changed
Yeah, things have changed
You know I'd like to say they're still the same
But things have changed

Well, if I could get down on my knees and pray
You know I'll never get back to yesterday
I want to think it's still the same
But things have changed, oh yeah, yeah

Pleased to meet you, guess you know me
Yeah, I'm the one who said I was never lonely
Always talking, I never listened
My mind made up that there was nothing missing

But when you're standing in Norfolk, Virginia
Wondering if you still got it in ya
Dig down deep, reach up higher
You never know, you might have to start another fire

But life goes on, day by day
Pick up the pieces and roll

'Cause things have changed
Yeah, things have changed
You know I'd like to say it's all the same
But things have changed, yeah

If I could raise up my hands and say
I just want to get back to yesterday
You know, I want to think it's still the same
But things have changed, oh yeah

Pick up the pieces
Take a look aound you
Yeah, sometimes we just gotta roll
Yeah, roll with it, baby
Pick up the pieces and roll

'Cause things have changed
Yeah, things have changed
You know, I'd like to say their still the same
But things have changed

Yeah, and I'll raise up my hands and pray
But I'll never get back to yesterday
I'd like to say it's still the same
But things have changed, oh yeah

My world's been changing
You know I want things to stay the same
But things have changed

Everything has changed
Everything has changed
I want to say it's still the same
But things've changed
