I walk the lonely streets Where the buildings look down on me My shadow's casting doubt on all that I do I'm worn out from crying, I'm so tired of fighting In a world that's so far from home My heart is still beating My mind is still dreaming Of the better days to come
Chorus: Going to leave it behind No more tears, no more crying for me Someday I'll fly so far away Run into your arms and meet your embrace And I can't wait until that day When I'll stand before you face to face
The things that are hollow Don't fill me anymore Take all that I have because it's already yours
And you take my life and you give me hope That these days that I fear Cannot change what I know You give and You give, You love and You love You've taken my fears away
By Jacob McGinnis and Jason Burkham
Song Description: "'Change' is simple in explanation, but deep in meaning. A lousy day left me feeling out of place in this world. God reminded me that we have such a better home in store for us and that this world and all its fears and stresses are passing. One of the telling lines says, "These days that I fear, cannot change what I know." God's Word and his promises will not return void. No matter how I feel, I know God has a bigger plan for me." - Jacob McGinnis (The Turning)
