Lyrics

CHANGE (Reprise) by Scott Detweiler

I was young
I was beautiful
The sun shined down on me
But the years went by
On the things I had in mind
The sun went down on me
Then the change came
Then the change came
My dream to be a mama wouldn’t be
Then the change came
Then the change came
The sun went down on my dream

Now my cousin comes and tells me
That my dream has come alive
A dream that was so over
For such a long, long time

And the paint that’s dried
Is cracked and died
On the walls of pain that fell and buried me
Now the sun does shine
I feel the kicks inside
In my soul and every part of me
Another change came
Another change came
My dream to be a mama came to be
Another change came
Another change came
Now everything looks different to me

God is good
God is beautiful
I m old
He thinks I’m beautiful
Don’t matter if my child
Will be blind or set the world on fire
Zech and me will raise our family
In our house
On our street
With our neighbors
Relatives and friends
I am old
I am beautiful
God is good
He thinks I’m beautiful
