Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone will change
No one stays the same
[Verse 2]
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
'Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
[Verse 3]
There are not many things in life you can be sure of
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
[Verse 4]
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes, everything will change
[Verse 5]
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
'Cause that's the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
[Verse 6]
There are not many things in life you can be sure of
Except
Except rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
[Verse 7]
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
[Verse 8]
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly
[Verse 9]
Everything must change
No one stays the same
No, no one
Everyone gon' change, yeah, yeah
[Verse 10]
Rain
And the sun
Hummingbirds
Except the rain
And the sun
And the music makes me cry
