GANGgajang - These Years lyrics

(M.Callaghan /R.James) They say that pressure makes diamonds - you can have my mine You can push a cart load of rubble - all the way to the end of the line But there's no way you can trade all your precious stones You can't swap them for a life time of love - or the wonders you could have known It's easy to be confused with all that's going on These years are all we have You can't live in the future, you know, you can't live in the past No matter what you say, no matter what you do You can't change the ways of the world, The only thing to change is you Why worry about all the things you think you need Profits of the rich, the problems of the poor - All spring from the seeds of greed And come your winter time, your cold and shorter days You'll be warmed by the fires of love - it's the users who'll have to pay Sure the world is changing fast but don't be swept along These years are all we have You can't live in the future, you know, you can't live in the past No matter what you say, no matter what you do You can't change the ways of the world in a single day Hang on to all the things that last, Although they may be hard to see and hold They're worth more than you'll ever find in your endless quest for gold These years are all we have You can't live in the future, you know, you can't live in the past No matter what you say, no matter what you do You can't change the ways of the world, The only thing to change is you
