Changes

A song about how I deal with challenges. If we were perfect, we wouldn’t need to change. I do.
"CHANGES"
How long? It’s been so long;
Longer than I can recall.
Though time may erase all the stains of the tears,
I still have to fight all the shadows and fears.
Changes: Patterns and figures and changes
Forging the mettle for me,
Etching that face in my eyes
So that’s all I can see.
Time, time dragging behind, all of those memories review.
Let sleeping dogs lie and they’ll lie very well,
But here in my mind they’ll have nowhere to dwell.
Changes...
Time, time dragging behind, all of those memories review.
The sleeping dogs lie as the dead in their hell,
So vanquished by light of my heart’s citadel.
Changes; Patterns and figures and changes
Forging the mettle for me,
Etching that face in my eyes
And that’s all that I see.
