Johnny Rivers

Permanent Change

I've been sittin' here for days

Thinkin' of different ways

To change my life so I can start a new

One thing is not clear

What is this sound I hear?

Is it me, or maybe it is you

I see colors everywhere

People who just don't care

And those who think that they can change the world

Lookin' back on all the years

Of happiness and tears

I find there's only one thing that's for sure

You only get what you give

The way you die is the way you live

And what you want is not always what you need

'Cause you might want it today

But tomorrow you will throw it away

And the only thing that's permanent is change

I see colors everywhere

People who just don't care

Those who think that they can change the world

Lookin' back on all the years

Of happiness and tears

I find there's only one thing that's for sure

You only get what you give

The way you die is the way you live

And what you want is not always what you need

Yeah, you might want it today

But tomorrow you will throw it away

And the only thing that's permanent is change

Ah, the only thing that's permanent is change

The only thing that's permanent is change
