The clock ticks relentlessly
Moments pass that I can't keep
No matter how I try they slip away
Heaven knows I'm holding on
But I see it won't be long
'Til I can't stand the rope burns on my hands
Oh cause change is gonna come

Like it or not time moves on
No matter what is said or done
The only thing we really know is we're not in control
Change comes
Oh change comes
Mmmm

I've got my book and glass of wine
Hung up on the same old lines
But the story's never told 'til pages turn
Seasons come and seasons go
I can't resist the ebb and flow
Better to decide to live and learn
Oh cause change is gonna come

Like it or not time moves on
No matter what is said or done
The only thing we really know is we're not in control
Oh change comes
Oh change comes

Maybe pleasure follows pain
Maybe clouds will bring the rain
Or maybe loneliness will one day turn to love
Mmm
A change is gonna come

Like it or not time moves on
No matter what is said or done
The only thing we really know is we're not in control
Oh change comes
Oh change comes
Change comes
Change comes
