Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Change lyrics

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 pa**ion 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
