Lyrics
WHEN THINGS CHANGE
Written by Ben Bauman & Bob Nicoteri © 2005 BenBauman Dot Net Publishing (ASCAP)
Verse 1:
He threw down the letter, then watched it fall to the floor
They closed the plant down, they didn?t need him anymore
All of a sudden it was harder to breathe
Working hard was his identity?they say?
CHORUS 1:
When one door closes another one opens
Then it all will make sense
(When) we get used to the way things are
Then the "way that things are" just ends
It takes faith to see the way
When things change
Verse 2:
A straight ?A? student, she was the homecoming queen
All the world in the palm of her hand, destined for great things
The test came back from an EPT
The baby?s due in January
(CHORUS 1)
BRIDGE:
Time moves forward in the blink of an eye
The only thing certain is change
It takes all you have to hold on tight
And let faith lead the way
Verse 3 (after instrumental & key change):
They hung on every word; he was going to be their king
They?d follow him anywhere, seems he could do anything
A twist of fate and an old rugged cross
Left them wondering if it all was lost?and then?
CHORUS 2:
Sunday morning the tomb was empty
The stone was rolled away
(When) their King came to life again
The world they knew had changed?they say?
(CHORUS 1)
