[Verse 1]
I'm moving through some changes
I'll never be the same
Something you did touched me
There's no one else to blame
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
We've given up pretending
As if you didn't care
[Chorus 1]
Change, changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes
[Verse 2]
I look into the mirror
I see no happiness
All the warmth that I gave you
Has turned to emptiness
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
You've left me here believing
In love that wasn't there
[Chorus 2]
Change, changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise
Well, you get what's coming
One word can bring you round
Changes
[Bridge 1]
But when I look into your eyes
And try to find out how
There's no way to save it now
And everything I feel
[Chorus 3]
Changes
Keep looking for
Changes
Changes
[Guitar riff: Trevor Rabin]
[Bridge 2]
For some reason you're questioning why
I always believed it gets better
One difference between you and I
Your heart is inside your head
[Verse 3 with variation: Jon Anderson]
One word from you, one word from me
A clear design on your liberty
Who could believe when love has gone
How we move on like everyone
Only such fools
Only such jealous hearts
Only through love changes come
[Chorus 4]
Change, changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes
[Ad-libs]
(One road to loneliness)
It's always the same
(One road to happiness)
It's calling your name
Change, changing places, changes
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes
Change, changing places (changes)
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise
Well, you get what's coming
One word, one word can bring you round
Changes
[Odd-timed riff on outro]
I'm moving through some changes

The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
