Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I wonder, is there anybody out there been changed?

[Verse 2]

Any other day, I wouldn't have dealt with this situation this way

There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but I

Thought about what would have happened

If I let you get the best of me

No way

And now I can truly say

[Verse 3]

I was a bird on the ground

Usin' my legs to get around

I was a piano out of tune

But I been turned around

Tell you how I know, places I used to go

I don't even go no more

'Cause I can fly now

And the song I play lets me know

I've been changed

[Verse 4]

Never mind what you heard

I'm not the same

Somewhere, somehow, some way

I reversed the way I do things

No, it ain't worth all the

Tug of war with you to prove I'm stronger

I no longer stay to play and lose

Now I am proud to say it's true

[Verse 5]

I was a bird on the ground

Usin' my legs to get around

I was a piano out of tune

But I been turned around

Tell you how I know, places I used to go

I don't even go no more

'Cause I can fly now

And the song I play lets me know

I've been changed

[Verse 6]

Make no mistake about it, anyone could change

But it takes a strong mind to say

That doin' the right thing is okay

And now that I've decided to give up these ways

There's no turnin' back now

Now that I've found out

I can overcome these things

[Verse 7]

I was a bird on the ground

Usin' my legs to get around

I was a piano out of tune

(Y'all didn't know I could play, y'all)

But I been turned around

(That's why I'm feelin' this song)

Tell you how I know, places I used to go

I don't even go no more

'Cause I can fly now

And the song I play lets me know

I've been changed

I was a bird on the ground (I couldn't fly)

Usin' my legs to get around (Until I found Him)

I was a piano out of tune

(Straight up flat, y'all)

But I been turned around

(Twinkie, you know what I'm talkin' about)

Tell you how I know, places I used to go

(I know you feel it)

I don't even go no more

'Cause I can fly now

And the song I play lets me know

I've been changed

I was a bird on the ground

(I'm so glad I been changed, I been changed)

Usin' my legs to get around

(I, I been changed)

I was a piano out of tune

(All the things I used to do, I don't do no more)

But I been turned around

(I'm glad I changed)

Tell you how I know, places I used to go

I don't even go no more

'Cause I can fly now

And the song I play lets me know (I'm movin' on)

(I'ma do it without any idea)

I've been changed
