People Change

People Change

Seasons Change

Moods Change

Romances Change

But when love changes it breaks our hearts

And when times change we drift apart

When winter comes and rainfall

We feel helpless not knowing who to call

We get uprooted from our safety vines

And with nowhere to crawl we get sour wither and die

Things change yes

Seasons change-we know

They’ve always been that way

And we just didn’t know

Sadness comes in abundance

Success falls like rain

We just have to remember

The season for the pain

And when it’s all over

When it’s all said and done

We will sit as the dawn appears and bask once more in the sun

Because regardless of snowy weather

Freezing rain or cold

We will all remember that

The sun will and must come up

And we will all one day grow old

So let’s hold on through the changes

And maintain our soul.
