When the friends you have trusted

Have left you down and on your own

And your faith has been tested in things you've always known

When all you hold precious has been left out in the cold

Only love can bring about the changes

When it comes down on you

And it's too much

When the harder you push

The harder you get shoved

When your first thought in the morning

Is how to rise above

Only love can bring about the changes

Only love can bring about the changes

Change comes when you say so

Change comes when you say no

Change comes, but it don't come cheap

Change is the river that runs so deep

When the world is still turning

But you're just standing still

When nothing is delivered

But you still get the bill

When the lure of seduction

Is stronger than the will

Only love, only love can bring about the changes

Only love can bring about the changes

Oh, yeah, yeah

Oh, yeah

Change comes when you say so

Change comes when you say no

Change comes, but it don't come cheap

Change is the river that runs so deep

When the world is still turning

But you're just standing still

When nothing, nothing is delivered

But you still get the bill

Only love can bring about the changes

Only love can bring about the changes

Said, only love can bring about the changes, yeah
