Never Change - 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
