The World is Changing

Oh, I remember the days
not too far past now,
where we'd spend all night
talking about how

the world is changing.

I can't seem to find it,
the key to go back there,
back to my best days when
you were just right there,

but the world is changing.

No more of those nights
spent in simple joy,
where there was laughter
and pain was destroyed,

because the world is changing.

Red rivers that flowed
all over the downtown
on the big screen TV
were finally unbound,

when the world was changing.

I miss them so much
that sometimes I think
that I could just reach back
and they'd come from my sink,

but the world is changing.

I still remember
when I was a child
the orange on tree leaves
would drive my heart wild,

and that is not changing,

and a similar redness
in rivers and stars
is capturing my eye
and setting the bar

for my world isn't changing.
