Change In My Life (A Capella)

Change In My Life
John Pagano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Standing cold and scared on top of Blue Hill,
There came one moment when I lost my will.
I prayed for mercy, Please, Lord take me away,
Or give me sunshine where I only see grey
The past had a hold on me, it can't be denied,
And the changes didn't come easily.

[Chorus]

I've been lonely, I've been cheated, I've been misunderstood;
I've been washed up, I've been put down, and told I'm no good.
But with you I belong, 'cause you helped me be strong.
There's a change in my life since you came along.

Now I don't mind working so hard every day,
And I don't pay no mind to what people say. No, no
Cause after all the pain I've been through,
I'd give up everything just to love only you.
All my life I've held my head bent in shame,
But now I've found you, and with you I'll remain.
Don't you know

[Chorus]

Now a man gets crazy when his life is all wrong,
And a heart gets weary when it doesn't belong.
When the road gets rocky, Lord, you've got to keep on,
Let the new light come shining on through.

[Chorus:Repeat x3]

Can you see it (I can see this love forever)
Can you hear it (I hear it in my heart)
Can you feel it (feel the power around me)
There's a change in my life since you came along.
Don't you know

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
