A Change of Pace (Remastered)
There's never been a day
When the world wasn't new
When the sun did not rise
Or the light break on through
Things might get a little worse
Before they get a little better
But there's always clearer skies
Stretching out beyond bad weather
And the world holds its breath
Just to see where we'll incline this time
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
I feel somethin' has shifted
I know the story's changed
In the window of a crisis
We can build a better frame
Come on and look inside you
It's the best place to start
And the greatest revolution
Is a simple change of heart
I can't put the sacred in such a little box
Because it's not
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
There's no shame in learnin' somethin'
When there's somethin' that must be learned
But there's danger when we will not see
What our actions earn
Courage doesn't always shout
But whispers and reminds
When we get up one long mornin'
And we try another time
We tried yelling at each other
It hasn't worked so well
Throwing gas on a fire
Never helped as far as I can tell
Throwing stones cut deep
A little kindness goes deeper still
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
When the world wasn't new
When the sun did not rise
Or the light break on through
Things might get a little worse
Before they get a little better
But there's always clearer skies
Stretching out beyond bad weather
And the world holds its breath
Just to see where we'll incline this time
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
I feel somethin' has shifted
I know the story's changed
In the window of a crisis
We can build a better frame
Come on and look inside you
It's the best place to start
And the greatest revolution
Is a simple change of heart
I can't put the sacred in such a little box
Because it's not
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
There's no shame in learnin' somethin'
When there's somethin' that must be learned
But there's danger when we will not see
What our actions earn
Courage doesn't always shout
But whispers and reminds
When we get up one long mornin'
And we try another time
We tried yelling at each other
It hasn't worked so well
Throwing gas on a fire
Never helped as far as I can tell
Throwing stones cut deep
A little kindness goes deeper still
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
Ha, la, la, la
