Something Has to Change
Rodney Crowell
Two kids at a stoplight, wiping windshields in the snow
Sticking close together now, trying to make a go
In a nickel and dime world, it's catch as catch can
If you've never been there, you won't understand
Its people not money, through which evil works
The haves and the have nots, are just one of the perks
Where life has a purpose, faith has a voice
We can't live in fear, and in trembling rejoice
Someday someway - Something has to change
Am I ready for times such as these, emphatically no
Though I did see it coming, a long time ago
At the heart of the cosmos, in its never-ending swirl
There's a power much greater than those
That would darken the world
Someday somehow - Something has to change
