"Never Change" lyrics - DAVID WILCOX

A shining drop of water rides the river to the sea
With hardly time to live at all
It tumbles down the waterfall

And crashes through the madness, dying to be free
It hits the rocks as ocean spray
And blooms again in clouds of gray, but

Some things never change

A child is born to wonder and his wonder gives him wings
To run and fly and crash and burn
He fights the empty sky and learns

That only after falling for the deepest love there is
He finds his heart is finally free
Surrendering to gravity, 'cause

Some things never change

And all the mighty empires
Have all crumbled down the same
So when the blaze burns down to dust

We can sing around the last fire
This same old refrain
About the one thing we can trust that

Some things never change
