Lyrics

Changes Made

[Verse 1]

When the winter days are gone

Never find any summer breezes

Until you've gone through spring

Another way out of here

Another way out of here

Another way

Another way out of here

[Verse 2]

’Cause I'm a lofty man

I'm a hungry man

Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be

Gonna be some changes made ’round here

Another way, another way out of here

'Cause I'm a man who lives, lives inside me

[Bridge]

The children's caravan

Moving slowly hand in hand

Knowing all it takes is a kind word

Is a kind word

Is a kind word

Ahh

Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be, gonna

[Refrain]

Gonna be some changes

There gonna be some changes

There gonna be some changes

There gonna be, gonna be

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

There gonna be some changes

There gonna be some changes

There gonna be some changes

There gonna be some changes made

There gonna be some changes made

There gonna be some changes made

Ahh some changes made
