It Changes

Just when you think that you know where you stand

You've got the world in your hand

Just when you're sure of a dream that you planned

That's when the scenery changes, it changes

Just when you think that you know all the facts

You hold a whole ball of wax

You've got it made, you can start to relax

That's when your world rearranges

And changes

Someone that you really cared about

Someone that you couldn't live without

Severs the ties

All at once you're all alone and scared

All the happy hellos that you shared

Change to goodbyes

Why must we pay for hellos that we say

Pay when we sigh an adieu

Just when you're sure, and you're safe and secure

That's when it happens to you

It changes

Why can't we get together with all the people

In the world we really like, and then just stay together forever?

But someone would leave. Someone always leaves

And then we'd have to say goodbye. I hate goodbyes

Why must we pay for hellos that we say

Pay when we sigh an adieu

Just when you're sure, and you're safe and secure

That's when it happens to you

It changes

Why oh, why

What we need are more hellos
