Lyrics

[1]Long ago, before the time of angels without wingsDistant stars I wished upon did promise many thingsI lived to see it come to passHeroes dreamt of yesterday, of honor to defendLovers, of a hundred ways the heart cannot pretendI lived to see it come to passI long to hold on to the lastThe winds of change suppress a smilePlan to stay a whileWatching from the door wayCare not for all I say and doMe—the wise old foolBorn to learn the hard wayMusic made the world go round and gave me memoriesTrue love sang it’s wistful song and brought me to my knees The winds of change blow strongNot knowing right from wrongI lived to see it come to passThe winds of change claim allLay waste the garden wallI lived to see it come to passI long to hold on to the last[2]Children grow and soon they know that life just comes and goesFilled with wonders great and small and answers no one knowsI lived to see it come to passRighteous live and know they sin, how far they fall from graceWicked sin and know they live, a smile upon their faceI lived to see it come to passI long to hold on to the lastThe winds of change suppress a smilePlan to stay a whileWaiting at the door wayCare not for all I say and doMe—the wise old foolBorn to learn the hard wayYears from now a still small voice may echo in your mindWould that you remember me and like the reason whyThe winds of change blow nowOne shot across the bowI lived to see it come to passCalled by another nameI am the Winds of ChangeI live to see it come to passI’ll be here to the very last[BACK]
