The Winds Of Change.
....................

Enough with all the abandoned hopes.
Enough with all the imprisoned joys.
Enough with all the desperate pleas.
Enough with all the fruitless ploys.

The time has come to lead the dance.
The time has come to believe in God.
The time has come to laugh at the rain.
The time has come to become more than flawed.

Just Let It Go, those wasted years.
Just Let It Go, those times of shame.
Just Let It Go, those nightmare days.
Just Let It Go, those pointless games.

Break the chains of self-destruct.
Break the chains of futile denial.
Break the chains of force-fed fear.
Break the chains of empty smiles.

Please realize you don't need to explain.
Please realize you don't need to hide.
Please realize you don't need to escape.
Please realize you don't need to feed pride.

So look up from the ground, it's no place to go.
So look up from the ground, there's no one but You.
So look up and around and ahead, not behind.
So look up and around and move on, straight and true.

The Winds Of Change.
....................

Enough with all the abandoned hopes.
Enough with all the imprisoned joys.
Enough with all the desperate pleas.
Enough with all the fruitless ploys.

The time has come to lead the dance.
The time has come to believe in God.
The time has come to laugh at the rain.
The time has come to become more than flawed.

Just Let It Go, those wasted years.
Just Let It Go, those times of shame.
Just Let It Go, those nightmare days.
Just Let It Go, those pointless games.

Break the chains of self-destruct.
Break the chains of futile denial.
Break the chains of force-fed fear.
Break the chains of empty smiles.

Please realize you don't need to explain.
Please realize you don't need to hide.
Please realize you don't need to escape.
Please realize you don't need to feed pride.

So look up from the ground, it's no place to go.
So look up from the ground, there's no one but You.
So look up and around and ahead, not behind.
So look up and around and move on, straight and true.
