Lyrics

Times are changing, we'll soon be facing
A story yet unknown
Don't deny it, we can't defy it
It'll happen on its own
The past behind us, there to remind us
Of what could be again
Fact or fiction, deep intuition
Of wondering how and when
Once in a thousand years
The secrets of the past
Will change the way we see

Across the ocean, the world's emotions
Are in and out of time
The changing seasons, no rhyme or reason
The choices, cruel or kind
One day it's clear, then clouds appear
'Cause nothing stays the same
The thoughts that have conditioned you
It's how you play the game

But then the day will come around
We'll turn the world upside down
