Everything Changes

Everything Changes

The rush of existence, the crush of the game
Everything changes, it’s always the same

Open the basket, dig deep inside
Gorge on potatoes, boiled, mashed, and fried

Scrub up the carrots, dice up the swede
Add in the garlic, and that’s all you need

Wait for the winter, remember the snow
Laugh in the sunshine, relax in its glow

Open the window, breathe in the air
Dance when it’s raining, sleep in the chair

Wind up the washing, fill up the bath
Skip in the forest, sidestep the path

Learn how to crochet, discover the sea
Paint on a canvas, rattle a tree

Run up a mountain, pick up a flower
Think of the beauty, remember the hour

The rush of existence, the crush of the game
Everything changes, it’s always the same

Gather your apples, add spice to your cake
Dazzle your sister, spin stones on the lake

To find what is missing, open your hand
Shine lights into corners, help us understand

It’s time to start flowing, from here to the end
It’s never so scary, when you’ve got a friend

Swim in the moonlight, plant seeds in the spring
Always remember, that love is the thing

Find truth in the morning, find warmth in the night
When it feels heavy, it’s hiding its light

Go to the river, lie under the clouds
Hop on the pebbles, sing songs aloud

Walk along gently, see birds flying past
Look right inside you, find peace there at last

The rush of existence, the crush of the game
Everything changes, it’s always the same
