Johnny Rivers - Permanent Change lyrics

I've been sittin' here for days
Thinkin' of different ways
To change my life so I can start a new
One thing is not clear
What is this sound I hear?
Is it me, or maybe it is you

I see colors everywhere
People who just don't care
And those who think that they
Can change the world
Lookin' back on all the years
Of happiness and tears
I find there's only one thing that's for sure

You only get what you give
The way you die is the way you live
And what you want is not always what you need
'Cause you might want it today
But tomorrow you will throw it away
And the only thing that's permanent is change

I see colors everywhere
People who just don't care
Those who think that they
Can change the world
Lookin' back on all the years
Of happiness and tears
I find there's only one thing that's for sure

You only get what you give
The way you die is the way you live
And what you want is not always what you need
Yeah, you might want it today
But tomorrow you will throw it away
And the only thing that's permanent is change
Ah, the only thing that's permanent is change

The only thing that's permanent is change
