lyrics

Changing Lives

Getting through the day
Wishing there was a better way
It's so easy to forget
All the things you haven’t done yet
Sometimes you need to be surprised
Sometimes you need to have the veil torn from your eyes.

Changing lives
Can be so frightening
Changing worlds
Can get the best of you
Changing times
They go by so quickly
The only way to survive
Is if you're changing too.

Fighting for your life
Balancing on the blade of a knife
Feeling lost at sea
Trying to find out what you should be
When the ground gives way right under your feet
Take a breath and be amazed, the air is oh so sweet.

Changing lives
Can be so frightening
Changing worlds
Can get the best of you
Changing times
They go by so quickly
The only way to survive
Is if you're changing too.

See, the day is dawning,
Clouds spell out a warning
This could be the morning
You’ve been waiting for.
Underneath your window
Can you hear the grass grow
Can you feel the wind blow
Just outside your door?

Listen to the birds sing
Hear the word that they bring
Nature is awaking
Just to tell the news;
Far across the skyline
You can see the sunshine
Spelling out a new sign
Time for you to choose.

No more fear and heartache
Chances there you must take
Make the choice for love’s sake
Even though it’s strange;
Turn and face a new fate
Quick before it’s too late
Step into your own state
Join the dance of change.

Now, as you answer the call,
As you let yourself fall,
You are one with it all.
Soon, you will float down the stream
And awake from your dream.
Things are not what they seem.

You, who were born of a star,
As you’re crossing the bar
Glimpse its light from afar.
Life is a game that we play
Just as night follows day;
Never throw it away.

Changing lives
Are no longer frightening.
Changing worlds
Are home now to you.
Changing times
Go by so quickly
But you know just what to do
To hold on to what is true
And you know you’ll see it through
Because you’re changing too.
Changing lives
Changing lives
Changing lives

about

Memory Page for Zan England, UK

Zanda Myrande/Zander Nyrond/Jonathan Waite/Andrew Lyng had many names. Zanda was the newest (only found in 2016) and probably the most important one.

Zan was an amazing writer, songwriter, and person, and her brain was basically an ant hill where every ant carried a book around.
She died very suddenly in July 2019, aged 63.

This page tries to collect what friends did and do with her songs. ... more
