What it is.

A Change For the Better

Calm down your anger,
Brothers and sisters,
Stay with me by my side.
Something's changing,
And we're gonna be fine.
Keep your chin up,
Every boy and every girl,
Looking towards the future,
I see a new world.
I travel far now to look,
At our swelling land,
White chapels stand like,
Stone castles, and,
People like grains of sand.

Look out or the change,
Will take you by surprise,
I know you want to see the change,
With your own furious eyes.

We've been done wrong,
For far too long,
But the end is near for us,
To be delivered from the,
Ugly hands that serve us.
Oh bye, bye, we'e finally,
Smiling, good bye, our eyes,
Are finally shining, and the future,
Is no longer a struggle,
And this change will sweep,
Away the debris that,
Collected by your decree.
Boarded up homes are modern ruins,
And their owners; crumbling gods.

Look out or the change,
Will take you by surprise,
I know you want to see the change,
With your own furious eyes.

Sam knew when he was born by the river,
Bob knew when he recognized the times,
And with the time, we change,
And with the time, we change,
Turn your eyes to the Capitol skies,
Yes, it's time for a change,
And we're all gonna change.
Yes we're all gonna change.

But for the better?
For the better?
Yes we're all gonna change,
And be better.

Yeah I have to agree. I had lots of different imagery going through my mind while reading it. The flow was great throughout. Keep it up.

Simplicity acquiesces to the clarity of the message. If I wanted my piece to be crowded with clumsy polysyllabic adjectives I'd have done it.

"I was born by the river in a little tent." That's a pretty bland line when it stands alone, but when you add the rest of the lyrics - you get one of the most beautiful songs ever written and recorded, "A Change is Gonna Come".

Complexity is not synonymous with greatness. Don't let yourself be fooled, PHAP.
