Everything Must Change (2010)
[BeBe Winans]
Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone will change
No one stays the same
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold, oh yes
For that’s the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of, except
Rain comes from the clouds (Yes, it does)
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes, everything must change
The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold, oh yeah they do
For that’s the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged
There are not many things in life
You can be sure of, oh, except
Yeah, yeah yeah
Winter turns to spring
And the robins will sing
After a while, oh, tell ‘em ‘bout the rain
Rain comes from the clouds
Can I tell you ‘bout the rain?
Sun lights up the sky
Gotta remember, said you gotta remember, say…
Rain comes from the clouds
Rain comes from the clouds, but…
Sun lights up the sky
Yes, it does; yes, it does; yes, it does, say…
(Rain) Rain…say…
Sun lights up the sky
Everything must change, huh
Everything must change
(Rain…) Don’t give up (…comes from the clouds)
‘Cause the sun (Sun lights up the sky)
Yeah, it’s gonna get better
Said it’s gonna get better
Said (Rain), rain, oh Lord
(Rain) Rain…say…Lord…
(Sun lights up the sky)
Go away, come again, say…
(Rain) Rain, yeah
(Rain) Rain (Sun lights up the sky)
It’s gonna get better, it’s gonna get better
My my, my my my my
(Rain) They say the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
You know the story, down come the rain
And washed the spider out
Rain, rain, go away, come back some other day
(Sun lights up the sky)
Ah, it’s coming down, it’s coming down
But don’t worry ‘cause (Rain)
It’s gonna quit, yes, it will (Rain)
Hey (Sun lights up the sky)
Yeah, oh, yeah (Rain)
Hey, I’m not afraid of the (Rain)
Oh, I’m not afraid of it (Sun lights up the sky)
Ha, ‘cause I know, I know it will, oh, oh…
