I know that everything changes

Yeah, it's strange how time marches on

Well, maybe there'll be some time in the future

Oh, tell me

(I'm not wrong)

Tell me I'm not wrong

Oh, if I could stop time

It would be a frozen moment just around Christmas

When all of mankind reveals its truest potential

And there is sympathy for the suffering

And there is sympathy for those who are suffering

And the world embraces peace and love and mercy

Instead of power and fear and as sure as I'm standing here

I swear it really does appear that a change comes over us

Yes, some kind of change comes over us

And it's glimpsed, it's glimpsed it for one shining moment

And this change, well, feels like a change that's real

But then it passes along with the season

And then we, we just go back to the way we were

Yeah, we go back to the way we were

And say it isn't so

(Say it isn't so)

Tell me I'm not just a dreamer

(I'm not just a dreamer)

Tell me 'cause I'm talking with a friend

And he knows how it ends

He says it's easier, he says that

That's just the way we are

That it's human nature

And that's just the way we are

Say it isn't so

Say it isn't so

Say it isn't so
