Changed

Music and Lyrics by Brian Thomas

There was a time when I reveled in solitude
Misery's company had to be less than two
But lonely eventually, caught up and told me
"I wouldn't be me if I was you"

There was a time when a change in the atmosphere
Dropped me a mile or sent me through the stratosphere
All those ups and downs, 'til one day I hit the ground
And Reason said, Why don't you stay here

Something has changed, something inside of me's
Not quite the same, maybe I'm crazy but
Something has changed, something inside of me's
Not quite the same, maybe I'm aging

There was a time when pure curiosity
Took me to places I wish I had never seen
But wisdom came around, took me to higher ground
I left all those places behind me

Something has changed, something inside of me's
Not quite the same, maybe I'm crazy but
Something has changed, something inside of me's
Not quite the same, maybe I'm aging

I was wandering in a desert place
Looking only for a sheltered space
But even the shelter felt sunny
Fiery pillar and a cloud came by,
I heard the offer deep inside
"Wouldn't you like milk and honey?"
Don't you just love milk and honey

There was a time, I was seared in the blacksmith's fire
Dark lonely nights, I can still feel the pounding iron
Shaped 'neath the hammer strokes, I twisted and bent and broke
Splintered to every last fiber

He gathered the pieces and melted them one more time
The music of hammer and anvil began to climb
I came out as something new, I lifted my wings and flew
Higher and higher and higher

Something has changed, something inside of me's
Not quite the same, maybe I'm crazy but
Something has changed, something inside of me's
Not quite the same
Maybe he saved me
