Changes Tell Us the Time The years that passed, the months that were happy and decent, The days we believe were recent And the moments sad, tense and terrifying; Changes Tell Us the Time – So much is lost- which I called mine; The laughter, the giggles and the shrieks- the silent heads down and 'stand in line', The innocent pensive silences, the standing and talking against fences, Changes Tell Us the Time, In moments captured in pictures, the outlook fronts and fixtures The black and white color mixtures, Changes Tell Us the Time AH Changes tell us the innocent unknowing mistakes we have made How much a symbol inspired how much pain it caused in the shade? Changes Tell Us Its Time, the Age, the Beauty that must fade The Earth dug and made ready where bodies must be laid, Ah Innocent One, cut me no more for I bleed inside For my errors, my sins I am paying and I have paid.
