Need a Change
There's a boy just ten years old
That doesn't have the words to say
To make his parents understand
That it's not something he can pray away
So he stays up in his room
And then he drops down to his knees
Saying Lord I'd give most anything
If you could set me free to
Run, run, run, just like the wind
I'll go for miles from this old town
I swear I'll never come back home again
And I'm done, done, done just being strange
I think the world's the wrong way round
It should be them, not me, that need a change
There's a youth of age thirteen
That binds their chest a bit too tight
But it'd be easier to breathe
If someone told them they were living right
They go up to their room
And then they drop down to their knees
Saying Lord I'll give most anything
If you can set me free to
Run, run, run, just like the wind
I'll go for miles from this old town
I swear I'll never come back home again
And I'm done, done, done just being strange
I think the world's the wrong way round
It should be them, not me, that need a change
If love can earn
A place in hell
Why don't you burn
Me there as well
We'll come to learn
That love has won
The world will turn
Till you can
Run, run, run, just like the wind
You'll go for miles from this old town
Where you can find another home again
And you're so far done just being strange
You know the world's the wrong way round
It should be them, not you, that need a change
That doesn't have the words to say
To make his parents understand
That it's not something he can pray away
So he stays up in his room
And then he drops down to his knees
Saying Lord I'd give most anything
If you could set me free to
Run, run, run, just like the wind
I'll go for miles from this old town
I swear I'll never come back home again
And I'm done, done, done just being strange
I think the world's the wrong way round
It should be them, not me, that need a change
There's a youth of age thirteen
That binds their chest a bit too tight
But it'd be easier to breathe
If someone told them they were living right
They go up to their room
And then they drop down to their knees
Saying Lord I'll give most anything
If you can set me free to
Run, run, run, just like the wind
I'll go for miles from this old town
I swear I'll never come back home again
And I'm done, done, done just being strange
I think the world's the wrong way round
It should be them, not me, that need a change
If love can earn
A place in hell
Why don't you burn
Me there as well
We'll come to learn
That love has won
The world will turn
Till you can
Run, run, run, just like the wind
You'll go for miles from this old town
Where you can find another home again
And you're so far done just being strange
You know the world's the wrong way round
It should be them, not you, that need a change
