"Change," Tracy Chapman lyrics

If you knew that you would die today
Saw the face of god and love
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low that you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change

If you knew that you would be alone
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would find a truth
That would bring a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change

Are you so up right
You can't be bent
If it comes to blows
Are you so sure you won't be crawling
If not for the good why why risk falling
Why risk falling?

If everything you think you know
Makes your life unbearable
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you'd broken every rule and vow
And hard times come to bring you down
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and loved
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you saw the face of God and loved
If you saw the face of God and loved
Would you change?
Would you change?

6. 'Change'
Blind Melon (This was my first thought when I saw the title of your OP)

I don’t feel the sun's comin’ out today
its staying in,
its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery,
I don’t think I’ll ever see the sun from here.
And oh as I fade away,
they’ll all look at me and say,
and they’ll say,
Hey look at him,
I’ll never live that way,
But that’s ok they're just afraid to change.
When you feel your life ain’t worth living,
you‘ve got to stand up and take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
keep on dreaming boy cause when you stop dreamin’ it’s time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
some ways will work and other ways we’ll play
But I know we all can’t stay here forever,
so I want to write my words on the face of today and then they’ll paint it.
And oh as I fade away,
they’ll all look at me and say,
hey look at him and where he is these days
When life is hard you have to change.
