Waking up too early in the city feeling disconnected,
The underground and my understanding have delays on the line.
The weather and the way we worked out weren't quite as expected;
I've been melting in the summer heat going out of my mind.
So far from OK, tongue-tied and afraid,
The big things stay the same,
And you just say
“Little changes.”
Giving up too easy when we could have tried a little bit harder,
Standing to the side as the neighbourhood went to the dogs,
We spent our energy getting angry instead of being kinder,
Singing hymns of praise in a city given up on by the gods.
So far from OK, tongue-tied and afraid,
The big things stay the same,
Until we make
Little changes.
Because I've been messing things up,
And I've been letting you down,
I've been getting it wrong for far too long,
I've been lost more than found.
And I don't know where to start,
But something's got to break.
Don't pull it apart, keep it close to your heart,
I'll do whatever it takes.
So far from OK, tongue-tied and afraid,
The big things stay the same,
Let us make
Little changes.
Come on let's make some little changes;
It's time to make some little changes.
Let's not just pray, let's make a change.
