Change - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

A missed step by the river’s edge

A chosen word, but it took too long

Your last chance is all he said

You won’t miss it, till it’s gone

A ghost in the distance

Where the ocean meets the land

A fallen angel in a trance

A conversation you don’t understand

Change — everybody wants it

Just a little hope and honesty

Change — everybody needs it

Open up our hearts so that we can see

A young man with a blue beard

Counting days that seem too long

Can’t wait, wait another minute

For my fifteen minutes in the sun

Gotta sweep this act I follow

Dust off this passion play

Believe in fate cast off this sorrow

It’s just a stone’s throw away

Change — everybody wants it

Just a little hope and honesty

Change — everybody needs it

Open up our hearts so that we can see

Some will think I’m crazy

Some will think I’m strange

I’m trying to satisfy this hunger

Somebody stop this pain

No signs of redemption

Can’t take the guilt they live

Gonna live and die in this world

Pushin' and pullin' 'till somethin' gives

Change — everybody wants it

Just a little hope and honesty

Change — everybody needs it

Open up our hearts so that we can see

Change — everybody wants it

Just a little hope and honesty

Change — everybody needs it

Open up our hearts so that we can see

Visions of such temptation

We can never take it to far

That’s the price of the true sensation

To find out who we really are

Keep digging, digging for answers

Keep searchin' you can’t give in

Will we ever understand

A truth we cannot comprehend

Change — everybody wants it

Just a little hope and honesty

Change — everybody needs it

Open up our hearts so that we can see

A missed step by the rivers edge

A chosen word but it took too long

Your last chance is all he said

You won’t miss it 'till it’s gone

Change — everybody wants it

Just a little hope and honesty

Change — everybody needs it

Open up our hearts so that we can see

Change — everybody wants it

Just a little hope and honesty

Change — everybody needs it

Open up our hearts so that we can see
