Everything must change,

Nothing stays the same.

Everyone must change

Nothing stays the same.

 

The young become the old,

Mysteries do unfold.

'Cause that's the way of time

Nothing and no one goes unchanged.

 

There are not many things

In life you can be sure of.

Except

 

Rain comes from the clouds,

And sun lights up the sky,

And humming birds do fly.

 

Winter turns to spring.

Wounded heart will heal.

Never much too soon

Everything must change

 

The young become the old,

Mysteries do unfold.

'Cause that's the way of time

Nothing and no one goes unchanged.

 

There are not many things

In life you can be sure of.

Except

 

Rain comes from the clouds,

And sun lights up the sky,

And humming birds do fly.
